  • Summary

  • No one has benefited more from AI and Machine learning than the con artist. This 10-part police drama begins in Los Angeles with an investigation into a group of con men using machine learning to improve their scams and ends in Tibet with a long con involving reincarnation and an evolved artificial intelligence. With each chapter, the stakes rise higher as cybercrimes detective Sydney Birch peels back layer after layer of this complex scheme. A lot of the story and its details draw directly from current events and popular online conspiracy theories.

Convoluted, but quite intelligent.

The acting was pretty great, although the main character was a little annoying and unprofessional at times. The story was quite impressive and actually taught me lots of things I didn't know, but it was unfortunately also hard to follow at times and felt quite messy. More explanation and description was often required. Also, the ending is rather sudden and very open-ended. I personally would have loved more resolution and answers.
