Obsolete

2019–2021 · 1 season

A brisk, downbeat military sci-fi that trades wonder for grimy geopolitics, leaving a cold unease about cheap power in anyone's hands.

Overview: In 2014, aliens revealed themselves to request trade with humanity. In exchange for limestone, they would provide a consciousness-controlled general-use robot known as an "Exoframe." Cheaper than an aircraft, tank, or firearm, and easy enough for anyone to operate, the "Exoframe" spreads change throughout the world in the blink of an eye...
How it feels: Dark, tense, cynical and bleak. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: War, power, technology, corruption
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
