I thought the first 3 episodes were great, lots of mystique, interesting plot line and a broad spectre of characters. It was attention grabbing. But at some point it just took a turn in to a surreal japanese game show-esq story with no clear plot. It tries to explore moral questions but it quickly becomes flat and uninteresting. It fails to keep your attention, and although it has an interesting problem : can a robot (AI) have free will, an intriguing and relevant philosophical question, it fails to connect on an intelectual level. At a point I just stop caring about the protagonists or the problem in hand. Loads of potential but it just seems like the writers had no idea how to explore the plot in an interesting way. It's as if the Matrix turned in to a Disney cartoon midway...

I found it embarassig to see how desperate this move tries to recreate the first movie. It almost scene for scene has the same puns, plot points, jokes, bantering... It only lacked the banana in the tail pipe. Hollywood has forgotten how to write a great story, and this movie is a premium showcase of that fact. The movie is cringy and should never have happened. A desperate "one last time" with all the characters that made the first movie great, with the added annoyance of Axels uptight daughter. The movie never really explores any of the relationships (father, daughter and daughter - goofy cop). It's just flat, and as a viewer you don't really care about any of the characters. Even the main Axel F score that has become an iconic tune timeless tune, has been "updated" with a deep sour sounding synth and underlines that everything in this movie is a pale shadow of the great first one. It tries too hard and fails. Super disappointed.
