ASFR Content
The series contains substantial artificial-life material, most prominently the service mechanoid Kryten. Under the hybrid structure, the hub records the recurring artificial-life premise while individual episodes are split out when Kryten or another machine undergoes a specific event such as activation, dismantling, replacement, damage, repair, reprogramming or shutdown.
