⭐⭐⭐⭐


The series is brilliant tackling the subject of killing hundreds to save millions. The story borrows from a few sci-fi novels and movies specially Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. Is it ethical to create clones for experiment that kills them in order to save humanity? The illegality of owning pets is borrowed from Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?. The dialog-heavy style which many viewers find boring is similar to Danny Boyle's movie Sunshine and the Russian movie Solaris. IMHO, the story is complete and doesn't need a second season. You draw your own conclusion based on what happened.
