Review of Better Than Us

I absolutely loved the first 5-6 episodes of this show. I found the actors to be believable, the pace was good, the plot was interesting.. it was an unique twist on your classic science-fi series. However I just finished episode 16 and feel like I lost 10 hours of my life.. each episode becomes more and more nonsensical, the characters get increasingly annoying, and the best actress (Imo, the little girl) is barely shown. It feels like the writers ran out of ideas and so they just recycled the same plot situations (kidnapping, ransom, robot competitions, etc) while swapping the characters involved. It got old really fast. They could've wrapped this series up and made it a solid 9-10 stars if they had just stopped at episode 5. Then it just went downhill.
