TV series Better Than Us
review by Mike Haberfelner

Victor Toporov (Aleksandr Ustyugov), head of the Cronos Corporation, is
ready to sweep the murder of one of his security officers by android Arisa
(Paulina Andreeva) [see episode
1] under the carpet, and everybody seems to be fine with this,
everybody but the officer's wife, so Victor tries to pay her off, while he
and his second in command Igor (Pavel Vorozhtsov) try their best to track
Arisa down. And there's someone else on Arisa's tracks, inspector Varlamov
(Kirill Polukhin), and even though he's called back by his superiors, he
doesn't back away from the case. Arisa of course is at the home of
Georgy Safranov (Kirill Käro), as his daughter Sonya's (Vitaliya
Kornienko) guest of sorts, without him knowing about it. Georgy,
desparately fighting to win custody over Sonya and his teenage son Egor
(Eldar Kalimulin), is in fact much too deep in trouble to notice, as being
a medical examiner he's involved in the case in another way, and the
Cronos Corporation's muscle, Gleb (Fyodor Lavrov), pretty much forces him
to burn down lab to eliminate evidence, something Georgy fakes to be the
deed of anti-android terrorist movement The Liquidators. But Arisa in
the meantime, while well-hidden, has an agenda all of her own ... Like
the first episode, it's basically clever writing meets a solid execution,
and again this episode understands to tell its own story while
contributing to the overall story arc as to keep both regular and casual
audiences entertained. Definitely makes one long for more.
