Swedish SF Series "Real Humans" is pretty good
If you like science fiction that deals with the social and cultural implications of technological changes - you might enjoy the Swedish series Real Humans. The show takes place presumably in the near future - though don't expect lots of futuristic vehicles or settings. The only real futuristic object are the hubots themselves. They are humanoid robots that have integrated themselves into society as appliances, maids, nannies and sexual aides.
I'm only half-way through the season but it's a fun show. Not perfect - but it gets my seal of approval as quality SF that makes you think. It's showing on the local Australian network SBS, and also exists out there in the ether ... you know where.

antWow, its beginning was like a horror scene compared to the English version. It's different for sure. Old man and young Odi were in it too. There are definitely nudity and violence too.
I have too many stuff to watch, so I think I will put Real Humans series on hold and then watch the rest after it gets a new season. I don't want to get confused with both of their plots.
Also, each epiosde is almost an hour long compared to AMC's 42ish minutes.
Who else is watch(ed/ing) (Real) Humans? Just @dag and me?
I wonder if Siftbot is a hubot too. Oh, I want a hubot too!

You might like Mr. Robot, Ant - if you're not watching already. I'm enjoying it.
