It was executed well enough and the story writing certainly followed the primary theme of the show: "These violent delights will have violent ends..." So while I am not surprised by the ending, it was nilistic. And ultimately--I did not care that much about it.
Not the complete disaster that the Game of Thrones ending, but...meh. There is a glimer of hope (either for the future or perhaps for a Season 5) but my guess this is it.
I get that human beings are flawed. I get that they are self destructive. They also seek meaning and at least attempt to transcend to something better (even if they often fail in that attempt). You would think artificial intelligence would at least try to transcend being human for something else? Yet the robots in this show are sad reflections of their creators--and only in the negative sense.
This show thinks it is more clever than it actually is. I say this as a fan (especially of Season 1 which was execllent).
