The ending is where the two break apart as Carl Lee Hailey is pronounced innocent and gets to live, while Tom Tom Robinson ( still at court but believes that Atticus will fail) dies while trying to escape prison. Both the novel and film depicts how the justice system in the south is not fair as the jury cannot see beyond the skin colour of the accused. I believe that the actions that Carl Lee Hailey did was justified as the two rapists Billy Ray Cobb and Pete…

    AMC’s “Humans”, devised to conjure an evocation of emotion, examines the conflict between for humans and machines called “synths”. In this parallel, world, that takes place within a non-disclosed time, synths excel at gleaning the subtleties of human life.

Devindra Hardawar, for Engadget, suggests that there has been a shift in media representations of A.I. With movies like Ex Machina and provocative shows like Black Mirror (also a U.K. show), depictions of AI evoke emotion -- and fear. “We’re still facing our fears and anxieties of this new tech through science fiction,”…
