Onisciente

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

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.

I was a little sceptic about this one. But turned out to be a nice surprise. Interesting plot and decent acting. Waiting on a second season to see how this will develop.

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.

Netflix's Onisciente is far from perfect in case of its concept, since it lacks important aspects of technology and processes related to it, that would not be missed in real life, but it's direction, camera work, actors' play are quite good. I would love to see a second season of it.
