Featured review

8/10

Planned obsolescence is an immoral practice that should be eliminated

I can see why some people don't like very much this episode due its topical elements (Some of which didn't age very well) but the first half was a more than accurate critique of the dire consequences of planned obsolescence, and the disgusting business practices made by companies like Apple. And also, of the worrying indifference of the majority of the population towards this subject, even among those who consider themselves "activists", perfectly reflected in the sequence where the main characters inmediately forget about the horrible things they witness on the Third World of the Antares System.

Just for that, this episode deserves 8 stars.
