Next is a well constructed dystopian show dabbling into the AI and technology craze it addresses mental illness with well portrayed distress whilst also falling occasionally into mental health stereotype. The arc of the show was carefully put together before ending abruptly to no surprise. It is a thought provoking program that should be taken both fictionally and as a comment on society.

You've reached the end.
