Critical reception
- TV Guide wrote, "(Audrey) Long proves to be quite convincing as the tough lass who won't let herself be pushed around. Plot as a whole is weak, but the direction keeps up a suspenseful pace."[3]
- Noir of the week.com called it "a very enjoyable quick paced timewaster!"[4]
gollark: Not some bad and overly specific parameter, not what you want it to, what it *should* do.
gollark: If you make an AI and make it significantly smarter/more powerful in some relevant way than humans, you need to make *very sure* it will actually do what it should.
gollark: Exactly.
gollark: They won't be "more sensible", they'll do some bizarre thing someone unthinkingly programmed them to as effectively as possible.
gollark: No, I mean it will literally kill/hypnodrone everyone.
