Onisciente

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

Interesting story of how dehumanising decisions allows those who simply 'function' can avoid responsibility. It is a big problem in today's corporate society. This show in the first episode does this without being preachy or assigning blame

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.

Similar in tone to Aldous Huxley's Brave New World - the action is divided between a controlled social system that delegates law and order inside the city to a central computer, and an unmonitored outside zone. The design of the city settings is minimalist Stepford-wife suburban and rather stylised (it reminded me a little of the Good Place - a colourful and safe, yet socially stifling and souless utopia). The outside scenes are more redolent of contemporary Brazilian backstreets (or how those are depicted in other Brazilian movies I've seen). I enjoyed the contrast - which is very clear. As another reviewer said, it's essentially a Brazilian Black Mirror. But it has its own flavour and Carla Salle is rather compelling in the central role.

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.
