It’s never easy to recap a year’s worth of news into one single story. Inevitably, readers will argue that something has been left out or something has been overplayed.

In addition to the aforementioned trope of a future where humans annihilate themselves and their robot servants survive, there are other common science-fiction tropes that abound in Eden - are robots better than humans? Can robots care and suffer? Or are they unthinking automatons? Can we feel empathy towards robots? How will a child raised by machines, all alone in the world, think? Are Earth and its myriad creatures better off without humans? Or, will reviving humanity doom the now-flourishing planet once again?
Eden asks the audience these questions, but never takes a stance - and that s good, as it makes it a thought-provoking affair. I should note, however, that the Netflix show has a maturity rating of 7+ - it s made to be watched by kids, you can tell - and so while the questions are intelligent, there are aspects that may not satisfy the adult viewer.
