Is there anyone else out there watching this? I'm finding it very good. It's a near future sci-fi drama starring Halle Berry and it's basically two shows wrapped up in one. The main story is a government conspiracy type show where the main character Molly (Berry) has been impregnated with some alien life form and has to "find the truth" x-files style. But there's also a strong B arc of a human replica robot kid (played to perfection) who is coming to terms with the nature of existence.

There are quite a few episodes out there now to get a good sense of if you like the show or not. Definitely worth a watch in my opinion.

Liked the first episodes, but the last one was just too much idiocy for one episode. No risk no reward. And the father going to random dinner parties with his newly forcedly aborted alien infected wife and just happen to sit there with the abductor and his terrorist wife with the super smart astronaut wife saying "no risk no reward" about the close to singularity AI doing unexpected things and spontaneously learning japanese with it's secret software.

Some limits please.

When I looked a week ago, the rating of this show was on a mean downward slope.

The last two episodes ventured into the "I don't understand what's going on, this show is weird" realm.

I absolutely despise the first episode. Let a bunch of them sit in my DVR and finally started catching up a couple of days ago. Not totally caught up yet, but it's not as horrible as it first seemed. I suppose by now I am reasonably interested. Of course I am a sucker for shows with a big "mystery" like this. At least it looks like we'll get some answers soon.

Sticking with it for the moment.
