After having just watched Murder Drones, an animated series recently released on Amazon Prime, I have chosen to give it my first recommendation of the school year. The action and slight horror make for a great plot and the show is really funny! Murder Drones is rated PG 13, which is perfect for high schoolers.
Murder Drones is about a world after most humans have gone extinct, from an incident (not going to spoil) that caused the core of the earth to blow up, wiping all biological life from the planet. After that happened, the Worker Drones (robots that humans used in their daily lives) were roaming free, until the parent company sent down “Disassembly Drones” to get rid of them all. This leads to them making shelters with many doors to get past, protecting the worker drones inside from the disassembly drones.
The star of the show, Uzi, is an angsty teen robot who’s just trying to get through her annoying life. Her father is the owner of the doors protecting them from the outside world. She decides to take a test outside to see if she can disassemble a disassembly drone. This ends up causing a murder drone, Serial Designation N, to get inside of their shelter, and causes the deaths of many of her fellow drones. Her father betrays her, and locks her outside of the emergency door, which is how the series starts off.
Throughout the series, Uzi develops a friendship with two of the disassembly drones, J and N, and finds out what really caused the core to blow up, and what the “Absolute Solver” program really is.
I highly recommend this series! I have even gone and watched the series a whole second time. You can find the show on Amazon Prime and YouTube. I give the rating for this show a 9/10.
