📱 A New Mini-Series About a Smart Home That Wants to Destroy Its Owners
The German six-episode horror series Cassandra is breaking viewership records on Netflix. On Rotten Tomatoes, critics have rated the project with a 100% freshness score.
🏡 What's the Story About?
A young family moves into a smart home built back in the 1970s. The house comes with a retro robot named Cassandra, designed to help with household tasks. Soon, the homeowners notice that Cassandra is acting strangely: she practically replaces the little girl's mother and begins to physically eliminate her parents.
It is eventually revealed that Cassandra's artificial intelligence is based on the personality of a real woman who lost her family. Escaping from the creepy housekeeper proves impossible—Cassandra controls all the doors and locks.
The name of the "main character" references the Cassandra Effect—a situation in which someone foresees or knows about future events but cannot prevent them because no one believes them.
Will you watch Cassandra?
❤️ — Yes, sounds thrilling!
🤔 — Not sure, I already don't trust "smart" homes...
