    Half the comments I’ve seen around the show involve the slow pace.

    It’s an issue. To the point of immersion-breaking and showing a lack of technical artistry.

    No, I don’t need to go watch Fast and the Furious, I can criticize a show I like.

    Elsewise, the show was interesting. Very well acted. But I think someone like Carol would be asking a lot more pertinent questions than they did.

    Writing needs to tighten up and then some. Particularly with a sci-fi trope that’s been as explored as this one.

    Carol, “can you take me to my eggs.”
    Zosia, “certainly!”
    Carol destroys her eggs when she gets there
    IMMEDIATE PROBLEM SOLVED

    Carol, "can you set up everything you need to create robots that can pick fruit and give me a simple [YES]/[NO] prompt for them to do so? …?

    The show can do more with less while retaining it’s thoughtfulness. The acting is there, the mystery-box is present. It just needs a push.

      It’s been made pretty damn obvious that they have different tiers of biological imperative, and spreading the virus trumps everything else. So no, they could refuse her.

      It was stated that they couldn’t build and program it. They’re not a program you can find a loophole in, they’re an intelligent being holding to the spirit of their limitations.
