Finally HBO has a show coming up that seems like it could be great. Looks really good, here's hoping.

Shit looks good. I remember the origional movie pretty well. There is definitely some material there to exploit post internet and matrix and all the talk of singularity.

not super enthusiastic about this, the trailer was pretty tame and the show seems to be "being a sex robot sucks, lets kill all humans". I hope they go deeper than that but the fact that the show halted production for 4 months to do rewrites isn't exactly a positive sign. Still, an insanely talented cast, really hoping HBO's first sci fi can be good and kickstart a new block of scifi shows on premium channels.

I dunno, this seems pretty simple to be a good long-term HBO show. The plot changes are what keep the seasons of the past HBO shows interesting and I feel like this is just going to be 'get it over with' type of a story.

I think I read this book forever ago, isn't it basically just robot rebellion number 83?

This has potential to be the next GoT or could end up being "John in Cincy".

Let's hope they did it right...

Is this only going to be 10 episodes? Hard to see this being much longer than a season or 2, but still kinda surprised if its just one season?

HBO creates a ton of great mini-series that are "limited" and never renewed for a second season. Generation Kill is a great example.

It kind of sucks that they don't continue their better mini-series, but this looks great.

I think this show's budget would be unsuatainable long term unless they killed off a lot of the cast.

Oh I'm gonna be watching. That trailer was just a tad disturbing to me, loved it.
