I boughtepisode 1last Summer when Realm and Sands came out with all their "pilot" episodes, which really fits the description of "Downton Abbey with robots" and has a great cliffhanger leaving you ready to read more. Now that the full season is out, episode 1 makes up the first section of this book, and the story expands well beyond the "Downton Abbey" description.  This story is not about robots; it just features them. The story is about human foibles and ego, and tells it in a humorous way with sexbots as you learn about the various relationships between all the humans in the family and the ever-complicating relationships between the robots as they evolve beyond their programming and start to revolt.The cliffhanger at the end of the first episode provides a framework for the full season, leading through sexual encounters, disembodied souls, murder and burials.  I did have a small suspicion about who may be responsible for one character's death, but that suspicion turned out to be unfounded as an even better cliffhanger leaves you waiting for you season 2.This is probably my favorite work by Platt and Truant afterThe Beam, which is saying a lot given how much these guys publish.
