You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The government considers these people “irrelevant”. We don’t. Hunted by the authorities, we work in secret. You’ll never find us. But victim or perpetrator, if your number’s up… we’ll find you.
Who remembers and misses this outstanding show? Will we ever enjoy the like again? It’s still so actual in these AI days.
Absolutely loved the show. Actually forgot about it in my recent list of shows I rewatched because my wife (then GF) hadn’t seen it ;)
One of the funny things is that the show now seems more realistic than back then ;)
True that! It’d be great if it was advertized some more.
Are old shows ever advertised?
I have a feeling of having seen some old shows re-advertised sometimes. But this could very well be a false memory.
Well, I don’t see ads (online, and in person it’s different anyway as I’m in Germany), but I would expect networks to only advertise running shows ;)
It was phenomenally good while the authors avoided succumbing to the unimaginatice “the enemy must be basically us in the mirror”. Asymmetric = good.
Agree. I didn’t like the bit where the Machine went

“Father, I’m so sorry…”
either. I think it was end of 3rd or 4th season.
Ah this show was wonderful! Ahead of its time with the AI and mass surveillance stuff (IIRC it called it before the Snowden leaks).
Great series, final season was a bit rushed but still good. Premise/ideas were excellent.
Completely agree! The finale left room for a new season or a new related series.
Spin-offs in other cities would have been cool
