I think I didn't watch this earlier because of the short episode run time and I confused it with something else. well I've pretty much literally have run out of things so I thought I'd give it a go. when I started the last episode I was already sad it was over and mad ( that there may not be a second season and how long will that take?) I really like synth/ robot stuff Humans is one of mu all time favorite series ( and tho this is more for a younger crowd and not as deep) I really liked it.
SPOILERS: I'm interested to see of she can get a new body. I grew fond of her in that short time period and felt for cheadel ? Don't remember his name in it when they deleted all her hard drive. What will happen with the brother( he was so cute) will she get back with Levi or Jenni? I loved the scene were dad has to come and get her as she's standing outside jennies' house waiting for her to wake and see the heart in the yard. Lol. Will she go back to being a daughter or go on her own? I know... Don't look deeper....But.... Any ways I definitely recommend and if you don't like it you only waste a little over an hour on the whole series.

I'm not the biggest fan of Quibi, especially when it tries to take itself too seriously and break down shows that could easily have been full length 40 minute episodes. Still, Don't Look Deeper was pretty amazing. I binged it in a day, and would definitely recommend it.

This is what makes SF great to watch,. A very interesting story line with issues that might be actual in the near future. I love the short episodes (approx. 8-9 min) and the cast made the whole thing very believable. I really hope for a 2nd season.
This was better than I expected. The acting was top notch. The writing, directing and camera work all pretty solid. I liked the way the story with both the issue of self discovery. What I didn't like was the 8-minute episode format. And the failure to dig deeper into why a human-like artificial being could be a threat to society.

I do not believe that there is on earth a human who will treat a machine with such delicacy (even if it's shaped like human) especially if it starts malfunctioning and behaving like a Teen b**ch.
This was very engaging. A very good science-fiction that dealt with some very interesting issues considering how short it was. It absolutely deserves a second season with longer episodes this is great watch it.

Extraordinarily annoying scenes I had to constantly fast forward, terrible dialogues (I think this is a first complaint about a screenplay for me!), annoying characters and did they not teach you in film school that you don't hurt animals on TV? I made it past the robot giving a BJ, but hurting Picasso was precisely the moment I had to finally switch it off. Plus scenes that didn't make sense - flickering lights in a dark high school toilet although they have robots walking around? Seriously? Not only was this a waste of time but it actually made me a bit angry that the creators slacked off like this and their terrible flick made it onto mainstream media anyway. And actors like Emily Mortimer and Don Cheadle let themselves be bought for a disaster flick like this one. I guess money rules all...

Everything that makes a program rotten
Storyline that moves at a glacial pace - box ticked Story that is not interesting or original - box ticked Zero character development - box ticked Really annoying female lead - box ticked Black female lead - box ticked Black male lead - box ticked Bad guys who are white - box ticked Said bad guys being slightly comical - box ticked Gay characters hi-jacking the story - box ticked
I don't know why they churn this rubbish out. There are uncountable books out there with cracking storylines begging for an adaptation and we get this twaddle. It's the sort of show you hope goes Tarantino and everyone gets put out if their misery by a surprise nuclear detonation. And you wouldn't be one iota sorry or sympathetic.
I couldn't watch it till the end and am sorry I watched it at the start.

Amazing show wish the episodes were longer but over all the acting was amazing I really hope for a season 2 and maybe longer episodes and get into more detail but over all I enjoyed this show binge watched it in one day
Great story, but didn't like it being 8-9 min episodes, would have been much better as a single TV Movie. Manage to watch on my PC.
Hope there is a season 2.
Helena Howard stars as Aisha, a sentient and self-aware android, in 'Don't Look Deeper'. With Don Cheadle, as her father, Martin, and Emily Mortimer, as her mother, Sharon, this Roku original tells the story of a family trying to live in the not-too-distant future and the government plot to tear them apart.
If you have seen any of the original Roku shows, you'll notice they are only 8-10minutes per episode, but have a decent budget. 'Don't Look Deeper' has the production value of a long 'Black Mirror' episode, with great acting, direction, and cinematography to boot!
Definitely worth a watch!

This is a solid show, there is 14 episodes and roughly each episode is 9 minutes long. I would like to see a season 2. The only thing i wish is that the network quibi need to make an app version for firestick. This can only be watched on the phone and i think this show is really good but fear people wont see it because quibi limits u to only watching on phone. The only way i was able to watch on tv was i fortunately had a chromecast, and i was able to stream it from my phone to tv. If Quibi wants more people to watch they need to make a desktop app for computers, an app for nvidia shield, firestick, and apple tv. Far as the show it was great storytelling. If you like shows like humans, then you will like this one.

I was kinda hesitant to watch this show but then it just popped up again on my social media so I gave it a shot. And I definitely need a season 2 or just some sort of movie

Is season 2 coming out? It's interesting from beginning to end. If it were on netflix I'm damn sure people will watch it!! The storyline is bloody awesome!! I do hope season 2 comes out. 10/10
I watched it all in one sitting lol but it was really good. It gave me "black mirror" vibes. Hope for a second season!

This was surprisingly good. Like other reviewers mentioned, i truly believe if this was picked up by netflix and with a bigger budget, it would be a hit. It was filmed very well to say the episodes were short and all of the actors and actresses did a great job. Hope someone picks this up for a season 2

I love this, onnly one complaint, too short, too little ! I want more ! Great script, great actors, great performance, great fx, can't find a flaw. The evolution of Asimov laws, much more realistic and unpredictable than any other robot series
I absolutely loved the first season of this show - great acting of the whole cast, really good writing, storytelling and direction. All thumbs up and I would definitely recommend watching it!
