  • Awesome!

    Very thorough on how power is slowly taken from the people and into the hands of the statesman. Makes it exciting and hopeful with recent/current cases working their way through the courts.

  • Disappointing use of AI

    The show has used AI to fabricate the voices of both living and dead public figures. The text they’re reading is from speeches they’ve given, but sometimes from opinions that were only ever written. I don’t think this creation of audio of personal speech that didn't exist before leads anywhere good.
