Onisciente

Entertaining dystopian sci-fi series. I think six episodes is a good number for these kind of shows, although I hope there's a second season on the way.

Didn't have much expectations, because I was distracted by the rating 6,4 given by IMDB users . But I was pleasantly surprised by this series, full of tech, mystery, crime, a very interesting plot and good acting as well. Binge watched Omniscient in one sitting, it was that good!

I hope Netflix renews Omniscient for a season 2, because there is so much more to explore.

A very interesting show that reminds me of Black Mirror. Very exciting, a good binge-watch show, hope there will be a 2nd season!

I get the points they are trying to make but despite sticking actual code on screens, Mr. Robot style (though in this case often where is makes no sense to be there), they pretty much missed the boat on the tech. For instance the drones are smart enough to learn to predict out comes from actions and even monitor your vitals to sense how nervous or angry you are but ignore differing outcomes and are not only totally confused by basic tampering but do not report tampering even when that results in them going offline. Even the most basic security camera systems are better than that. That is like designing a plane to crash instead of land.

In all basically the plot is a cross between Robocop (corporate take over of government) and Person of Interest (rise of the surveillance state) though both of those are closer to reality of where tech actually is going. Even if you are not technical enough to notice those flaws you might make out the other basic plot holes. If you can ignore all that though other wise it is a half decent who-done-it.

If you like dystopian future drama then this is for you. Some of the scenes were slow and unnecessary in my opinion (sex scenes) but the acting was fairly good and I do like dramas where the actors are unknown to me. I can't take the hype of well known U.K./USA/Aussie/NZ actors being in vogue when truth be told most are very one dimensional. Netflix does well putting on series from other parts of the world. It seems to me that the scriptwriters of this series are leaning to giving us more information and expanding the characters and I look forward to series 2.
