Total Recall 2070 [Season 1, Episode 18] Assessment

The detective and his partner are kidnapped. They wake up imprisoned with computer programmer Xenia Seeberg , who wears a flimsy tee-shirt.

The city is the site to robot rampage. It also has a vigilante group who want to stop the creeping socio-economic takeover. The vigilante leader interrogates the detective, a good excuse to show clips from previous episodes. This actually works as an update on the show's plot arc.

Total Recall 2070 [Season 1, Episode 15] Paranoid

Finally the show's plot arc is coming into action. The memory implants from the film, the concept that goes back to Philip K Dick himself, is central. One of the supporting characters is suspected of having an implant. The villainous Recall Corporation is suspected of being behind it. Yes, we get Dick's questioning of our perception of reality, mixed with cynicism and paranoia about the role of Corporations in modern life. Admittedly it sounds better than it really is, but it is nice to see a show where the makers actually try to think about things.

The detective's father appears, in the form of Anthony Zerbe [ Licence To Kill ].
