Better Than Us

 In the year 2029, robots–well, they haven’t taken over, but they definitely have a prominent place in society in the service industry. Not only that, people roll around everywhere on Segways and have iPhone tech that projects from a bracelet onto their forearms. How that technology works with sleeves is unclear (a mystery for episode 2?).The show is centered around Georgy Safronov (Kirill Kyaro), a medical examiner who’s holed up in his morgue with robot Vasily. His life is not so hot when compared to his ex-wife Alla (Olga Lomonosova), who’s remarried and has custody of their two kids. There’s moody teen Egor (Eldar Kalimulin) and the adorable Sonya (Vita Kornienko). Georgy’s world is turned upside-down, though, when he learns that his ex’s one-month trip to Australia with her new man and the kids is actually a permanent move!Better Than Us Season 1 Download.

The show’s other lead is a state-of-the-art, last-of-its-kind robot named Arisa (Paulina Andreeva) that’s purchased by the head of CRONOS (think Apple but exactly as nefarious as the name “CRONOS” implies). Viktor Toropov (Aleksandr Ustyugov) is a pro-bot public figure whose company makes fairy-bots to watch over kids and also sex-bots to pleasure adults. He even has his own personal collection of sex bots that he keeps at work, and Arisa’s the latest addition. But when a lowly CRONOS warehouse worker tries to have sex with Arisa behind the boss’ back, Arisa fights back and efficiently snaps the skeevy guy’s neck. Remember that First Law? Arisa’s been programmed to not care about that.

Arisa and Georgy’s fates intertwine when the CRONOS corpse arrives at the morgue. While Georgy tries to figure out why the cause of death has been listed as a heart attack (Russians covering something up?! No, they would never!), his daughter Sonya makes a surprising new friend: Arisa, who stowed away with the body.
