Loose dark-comedy reimagining of The Outer Limits episode "The Grid," but with a completely different twist: no tech dystopia, just an alien, surreal concept that flips the world upside down in a grotesque, ironic way. Likeable, with a few jokes that raise a smirk, but slow and watered-down: too many scenes drag without bite. The protagonist is a tough, pissed-off woman, but not exactly a genius - given how available the "people" are, couldn't she herself have put them to work on curing the virus? From Gilligan I expected a stroke of genius, not thin soup. Hope the next episodes tighten up and don't sink to a ridiculous musical number. Curious, but not memorable. For now, I'm staying neutral.
