I came across this nicely phrase piece way too late. Now I'm thinking, with all coming and goings in the TV business who cares about a show which was on about ten years before, right? But to me, it's still fresh and speaks to heart. More so perhaps these days when I'm witnessing how AIs can easily and in reality fall into wrong hands.
But technology is not the only factor making this show memorable to me. It's about second chances and becoming a better person, no matter how far gone others might think you've been. There's always hope if there's a will.
It's never too late! Yes I think POI is one of those shows that's so sneakily brilliant and masterful in retrospect. Many many shows after POI tried to discuss AI but none of them did it with the compassion and humanity that POI had - the difficult faith in people's ability to do good, and how Harold's constant guilt forces us to re-consider our reliance on machines instead of people! I love love the theme of second chances so much. It's just such an optimistic show
