I’m thankful that this reading showed up because I was curious to know what this show was
about and how it is doing since Helen J Shen is Andrew Barth Feldman’s girlfriend (fans of them both. I love how it touches upon the idea that love doesn’t last forever, and that death is inevitable for us all. But instead of the sad story, they make it more upbeat, with the two leads being robots coming up on their warranty. I think the topic should be talked about more–about the mental struggle of deciding to love someone even though you know it’s going to end one day. It’s hard, but I personally think it’s worth it.
