Robots often get the short end of the stick when it comes to sci-fi universes. After all, they don’t have to sleep, or eat, or breathe, and so they get all of the crappy jobs. There’s no kind of union to whom they can complain about their lot in life. There don’t tend to be robot psychiatrists to hear their woes. Most of the time, the humans around them seem to view them purely as a convenience, rather than a functioning human being in their own right. It’s not just Marvin the Paranoid Android who has it bad. Here’s the most desperately unhappy robots (and AIs) on TV.
