Лучше, чем люди
A Russian sci-fi drama set in near-future Moscow where robots are integrated into daily life. When a forensic pathologist's android assistant becomes entangled in an unprecedented murder case, the story becomes a meditation on consciousness, personhood, and what we owe to beings we've created. Thoughtful and unsettling rather than action-driven.
Should you watch it?
Watch it if you are curious how ordinary routines bend when machines become household fixtures, and you like a forensic-style mystery that cares more about people than gadgets.
Skip it if you want brisk plotting and genre thrills, since this one takes its time with domestic scenes and philosophical chat, and the detective hook can feel loose at times.
What it asks of you: Settle in for roughly 53-minute episodes that linger on conversations and small household details rather than chasing the plot at speed, with a mood that stays quiet and wry.
