It’s not a new occurrence that Brown has found himself embroiled in a lawsuit related to a rape accusation. Back in 2019, he initiated a legal action against a woman in Paris who claimed he had raped her. Previously, he declared her allegations as being inconsistent with his personal character and moral values.

To fully appreciate a show like “Prime Target,” you’ll need to cultivate a palate that can savor the complex, seemingly nonsensical jargon characteristic of airport conspiracy thrillers. This genre has two main categories: STEM-based, with shows like “The Number 23” or “Pi,” and humanities-oriented, featuring works such as “The Da Vinci Code,” “National Treasure,” and the late “The Lost Symbol.” Both types incorporate a wealth of factual details to make viewers feel knowledgeable, then layer on excessive drama and conspiracy theories.

In “Prime Target,” the idea that prime numbers are crucial for computer passwords is expanded into a scenario where governments and shadowy organizations employ spies to monitor thinkers who might uncover dangerous mathematical truths, and eliminate them when they do. The show predominantly falls within the STEM realm, but it also incorporates historical references; the monitoring program is named Syracuse, after Archimedes’ innovations, and the storyline of prime numbers is intertwined with an archaeological dig in Iraq, which primarily serves as a vehicle for Sidse Babett Knudsen (from “Borgen”) to frequently say the word “Baghdad.

In the present, Palmer is enthusiastically showcasing her latest movie titled “One of Them Days“. This film features her portraying Dreux, a hardworking Los Angeles resident who’s trying to climb up the ladder in both work and life, despite facing obstacles from oppressive systems. Interestingly, this role seems reminiscent of characters she has played before, especially during her days as a child star in “Akeelah and the Bee” and “9 to 5“. Palmer’s on-screen charm and ability to connect with viewers makes her the ideal choice for roles that require genuine, everyday relatability.

In simpler terms, the story revolves around Iris, who is either a newcomer in an existing group of friends, more sincere and exposed than others, with her life centered on Josh, or she might not be human at all. Josh dislikes the term “fuck-bot,” which he uses to describe Iris as she learns about her true identity. Iris is actually an “emotional support robot” designed by a company called Empathix, capable of acting like a perfect partner with customizable settings, devoted behavior, and even some fake memories to make her feel real. The show subtly hints at this in the initial scenes, making it intriguing to revisit them later on. Iris’s characteristics, such as her unwavering gaze, carrying luggage, and intense focus on Josh, are not due to emotions but rather her design, programming, and expected servitude. The times when Josh tells her to wake up or go to sleep are not expressions of love but commands given to a device. The show isn’t explicitly obvious about Iris’s identity, but it cleverly sets up the story in such a way that these initial scenes become more significant as the story unfolds.
