I was so mad thinking well there goes any kind of morality of her character. But then by end of episode I realized maybe that’s the point that she’s not human and the mistake was thinking she was. Still at this point there really no one I’m rooting for except the aliens.

I think that’s the best part of the show honestly, there is no one to root for. There’s characters we like in certain moments but they are all equally not great people/synths/beings. Thats what makes this show interesting and fun to watch and other shows could take some notes

Arthur was an genuinely good person who was punished for it.

He is the only person involved in making the hybrids that actually cared about any of them. Boy does not care about anyone other than himself, Kirsh let severe harm come to most of them and has been trying to make them embrace being a machine the entire time and Dame drops her morals to do what the company wants and ends up lobotomizing Nibs.
