The black and white goes really well with this one. Starts like a standard post apocalyptic scavenger hunt. Then wow a shrapnel trap, nasty. And it's actually a killer AIbo, sweet. And with guns! It's so cute when it runs, and its vision system is really cool.
Apart from that, the main character seems quite stupid. Like why stop and wait when the van crashes ? or why the 1000 count to wake the dog ? You can clearly see it's using batteries for 3 seconds while she stays awake for 15 minutes. It's probably been sleeping for days or weeks in the warehouse, it could go a long time like this, she should have awakened it as soon as it went to sleep.
As for the past three episodes the final seconds reveal is really meh and does not bring anything to the story. So they did all that for a teddy bear hmm ? Well we don't have enough information, we see the results, they all die, but we don't know how risky it was in the beginning, maybe they were just really unlucky. It's still quite stupid though.
It would have been nice to have some background on how this world came to be, even though I get that was not the point of the story.

Not as terrible in execution as Arkangel but I couldn't help but burst out laughing in one of the key moments due to the stupidity of this where it should have been a moment of tension instead. I mean that this show is an anthology is a good thing but this was on par of British no-budget genre film... if you want me to invest in your setting at least bother to make things to have at least a little bit of sense. Turning it black & white is not enough.
- The dogs technical functions seemed to jump around all the time... This is sort of endless. / Can magically generate and store power forever apparently (since it can still charge from within the factory)... still goes on standby. / Instead of killing the target point blank it prefers to instill a tracking device before it kills the person. / It just hides in the factory.. because robots. / Abandons factory straight away and goes for the target not instilled with a tracking device. / Can at first only track people via tracking device (still kills the other guy and can drive a car just fine however), later on it can still employ a sort-off wallhack (it did the tracking by an endless stream of blood left behind LOL)... however once it was in the house it could not see behind the furniture she was located at. / Can apparently only kill with a weapon(knife here) after it lost it's weapon - scary. / They suddenly swarm the area so they can supposedly communicate with each other, but that isn't really seen in their behavior regardless.
- The reason for getting a teddy this far out can't be made up. If this really was a dangerous world people would have helped themselves differently (and not by leaving the dying kid there). This wasn't just something that happened a few days ago anyways.
- We are supposed to believe this is a world that exist. So obviously she first runs away when the first guy gets attacked, only to stand still to have him tell to run away again on which she still does this as she wouldn't have cared either way.
- These things get rekt by energy drain, paintjobs, trees and are only good in close range. Now this will wipe humanity out for certain...
