Better Than Us

review by
Mike Haberfelner

As the Liquidators try to kidnap remote controlled fake Arisa (Paulina Andreeva) they run into an ambush but figure if they have fake Arisa shoot somebody in the shoot-out that ensues and make that video viral, they would achieve their target anyway. At least that works out, but all the Liquidators but Bars (Aleksandr Kuznetsov) are shot dead, and he's incarcerated. And in prison, he's visited by Gleb (Fyodor Lavrov) who tries to pressure him into admitting the video was a hoax (which it really was).

The real Arisa meanwhile shuts down in Georgy (Kirill Käro) and Lara's (Mariya Lugovaya) hideout, and Lara manages to get in touch with the makers of Lara via a link in her mainframe - and learns that she's a bot that will protect her family at all cost, even at the cost of killing somebody, and sees herself as the "wife" of the (male) head of the family. And when Arisa is fully re-booted, she goes after Georgy, who has meanwhile gone looking for his son Egor (Eldar Kalimulin).

Egor and his gravely wounded girlfriend Jeanne (Vera Panfilova) are thrown out of their hideout and somehow run across Georgy - who insists on taking Jeanne to a hospital, otherwise she'll die. At the hospital, Arisa and Lara catch up with them - and the police arrives to arrest Georgy, Lara and Arisa, but they in turn are intercepted by Supenov (Aleksandr Golubkov), homicide detective who's actually a mole for the Cronos Corporation. And once at Cronos, it doesn't take long before Cronos CEO Victor (Aleksandr Ustyugov) tries to work out a deal with Georgy to handle Arisa again for the next contest.

Meanwhile, with the help of Victor's right hand man Igor (Pavel Vorozhtsov), Victor's father-in-law Alexei (Sergey Sonsovskiy) finds out that Victor has placed his wife Svetlana (Irina Tarannik) in an asylum and plotted to destroy Cronos, and now Alexei plans to crush Victor instead ...

 

It's one of these episodes that does more to help the overall story along than tell a story of its own, and as such keeps one wanting for more but leaves one dissatisfied at the same time. That said, most of the narrative threads are still interesting, but some seem to be a bit too drawn out ...
