3/10
A missed opportunity
17 February 2022
Based on Robert Harris' book, The Fear Index is an attempt at a warning about artificial intelligence. The original book was published in 2011, and the world has moved on.

This series starts off with good tension but quickly descends into a "technology runs amok" dystopia, but it falls foul of technological advances in the last 10 years. Instead of being set in 2011, the series is set in the 2021 timeframe and that results in huge holes in the plot.

The acting is steady and look and feel is pretty sick. Sadly, the plot holes - and clichés - are too great to ignore and spoil the story.
