Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk with some detective noir inspiration. Visually excellent, dark and gritty. Starts strongly but tries too hard to be cerebral. Too slow and bloated.

Looks slick and good voice acting but the plot and themes of this boy and girl android pseudo-romance are contrived. Tries to be emotion porn and fails.

A thumbs up to Mongoose at Public Intelligence Blog (https://phibetaiota.net) for finding this lecture at West Point on Psycho-Neurobiology.

Starts off strongly and it is intriguing as a psychological thriller. Overall, not particularly memorable.
