Critical reception
TV Guide called it a "so-so crime story. Despite some fast pacing in the direction, the script is too simplistic for the fare."[3]
gollark: I might have to retrieve the infographic.
gollark: Consume "bees".
gollark: But half of that system would probably be useless or a disadvantage, so it would never evolve.
gollark: You could entirely fix cancer through better DNA error correction, for instance, and the technology for that has been developed as part of communication/storage systems we have now (although admittedly implementing it in biology would probably be very very hard).
gollark: On the other hand, through actually having a planning process and not just blindly seeking local minima, a human can make big changes to designs even if the middle ones wouldn't be very good, which evolution can't.
