    You did? Did it get better after the first episode? Because it looked like everything was narratively structured in a way to deflate any hope of dramatic tension or character growth.

      Yes. Shows sorta divided into a protagonist-deuteragonist split point of view between the front lines character and the rear lines character.

      It had a slow start but really picked up speed imo. I personally enjoyed it because, outside of the rather hamfisted racism stuff, the world setting, technology, and story that builds off of those two are distinctly different from darn near everything I've watched - giving it a fairly refreshing new taste in contrast to other shows.

        Really? Because I was rooting for the robots by the end of episode one. I felt that if this was the last of humanity then we might as well end it because they aren't just bad human beings, but incredibly stupid too. It's no wonder they are losing the war, because female protagonist is the only person in the world that doesn't waste resources and maintains her tools of war. I mean that's just good sense, even if you don't recognize the humanity of your front-line soldiers, but somehow that made her operator numero uno in the 86 universe. So what differentiated this show from the civil war movie, Glory, exactly?

          uh how much do you want me to spoil stuff? Also I've only seen season one, and have been putting off season two because of work.

            You already had me looking for further justification to pick this show back up, so I ended up reading this review (spoilers and all) that trashes it as "babies[sic] first genocide." So if there's something that both I and this reviewer missed, then spoil me, daddy!
