Mannn guys, you need to do more like this. Seriously. As far as I see you are the new Outer Limits (either the original or the remake in the 90s) this and everything you all present is amazing and just, hours and hours spent. A series, based off of several of your shorts, would easily be better then most on the 'SyFy' (How I hate that name change) can do.
This is excellent and a pre-series about the rise of the robots/how they were built, is that plastic or stamped metal, etc, would really be an amazing expansion to this. It is a Steampunk world, done right, nothing is goofy or overblown. All of the technology barring the robots fits great, it reminds me a lot of Gangs of New York in a lot of ways, just with robots.
Please keep doing work like this, or give us another season of this. It's one of the things which balances the plot and action, setting, everything as a proper blend. There are so many literary properties that could see the light under your studio.

I am really enjoying this series, I love mystery thrillers - like Ellery Queen, so this 1930's noir imagery is great. I'm also a fan of Steampunk and I keep thinking 'Technopunk' while watching. Good acting, good story, and like I mentioned - great film noir too. I'm on board for the series! Good work!

Intriguing story based on Isaac Asimov's robot stories, featuring detective Elijah Bailey and R. Daneel Olivaw,
his assistent and friend. The exotic mixture of 1930's background and state of the art humanoid robots, makes
it suitable for the movies: AUTOMATON The Movie

Great story from beginning to end; and specially the end. Reminds me a bit of Caves of Steel. robots, crime, set in New York. if this wasn't set in an alternative past, of course. This series deserves a sequel, a book 2, perhaps with 7 episodes instead of 5.

Good show. One thing thugh. I think a chick should get offed for cheating on her husband, especially if she was joking around about wanting him to here her screams of passion, as this chick was. I think it was just, what happened to her.

Neat little series. Sure the acting is a little cheesy, but fits the genre. I thought it best to put this positive review here as if you watch them in sequence, it tells an intriguing little story.

This is like the first chapter in a book that'll never be written. Adding a few pointless androids, on the other hand, makes this a millionth repeat on a theme. What a waste of time.

I feel that perhaps the aesthetic for the automatons doesn't really fit in with the 1920's. I'd imagine it being more bare, and perhaps with art deco style components visible instead.

I can always tell when Doug Jones is in a project. He has a distinctive voice. Much like Jason Statham, Christopher Llyod, Christopher Walken, John Wayne, James Earl Jones etc etc

Loved this short story. So nostalgic and futuristic at the same time. Felt like we had gone back to the future. I haven't watched anything but DUST since I started. I'm hooked!

This make believe detective doesn’t remind me of anybody i met in 35 years as a detective. In fact, he stinks as a detective. Carl seems more like a detective than this guy.

I like most dust shorts but I guess I'm the only one that didnt like this one. I thought it was hammy and predictable

Wonder why; )

2 Stars. Nothing good EVER comes from putting robots in a 1920's setting. Like the cloche hat tho.

I was expecting a twist up gear-based robot with very simple movements. This is just unrealistic

I love that they are using suits, I still buy them as robots though. Well applied.
