Mother Samira (Mina Tanger) is not very comfortable with the omnipresent smart home system from the start.

Above all, Lavinia Wilson, who plays two opposite roles, creates a fascinating one with her strong spectacle Balance between tragic heroine and psychotic villain.
Exciting thriller, too little horror: Is Cassandra worth?
As early as 1977, the devil’s sci-fi film converted a smart home into a hellish nightmare for its residents: inside and justified the subgenre of household horror, whose greatest triumph until today-and there is no discussion-the UltraHouse 3000 The Simpsons remains.
Although Netflix ‘Cassandra is followed by the horror and psychological thriller, known genre tustles and shows some brutal models, the series exceeds never really the limits to the sci-fi horror. Those who expect the escalation of a killer robot could therefore be disappointed.
