The original creepy robot revolt in the movie was considered to be terrifying.

The new premise in the TV series is the robots are a sympathetic life form that we have tossed into the clutches of "rich assholes" who vacation from the office by acting out their most extreme psychopathic fantasies.

Expect criticism from rich assholes claiming they aren't really like that.
