Excited for this!
Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery.

Shen Long needed open spaces.
(Said a thing on the internet caveat: it's not perfect, there are some bits that have aged poorly, but on the whole it stands up well after 30 years)
Anyway. If you like Due South or Corner Gas, or you'd like to see Twin Peaks if everything worked out OK, then you should watch it.
I am also a big fan of Elaine, Ruth-Anne, and Ed π It's the ensemble that makes it work.
