People are irked by huge plot error in Cassandra that could have massively changed the ending

Cassandra is one of the wildest Netflix thrillers on the streaming platform right now and is up there with the freakiest Black Mirror episodes. The German series is absolutely stacked with plot twists and random turns that you’d never expect. It’s all about AI, and what could freak you out more than a technology gone wrong show? Not much, let’s be real. However, some people have found a huge plot error in Cassandra that could have massively changed the ending. To be honest, it makes sense and I’m now kind of disappointed.

In the show, a family moved into an early smart home, which was designed back in the 1970s. They were the first residents since the previous owners *mysteriously* died. They experienced the chaos of living with an AI, which ended up not being an AI but actually a real woman’s consciousness inside of a computer. It’s all super complicated, but people are all saying the same thing online: Why didn’t they just go down to the basement and break the machine manually?

In a Reddit thread, people discussed the disappointing plot hole and labelled the ending “questionable and laughable.”

Somebody wrote: “I have no idea why none of them ever just took a f*****g hammer to the hardware down in the basement. The wife even walks past it after escaping and just… doesn’t do anything.” This user really has a point.

The user continued: “David getting the Christmas tree was so infuriating. Dude actually goes and looks for a f*****g Christmas tree. I would have been running down the street screaming for help or calling somebody. He could have run to the nearest police station and just said his family was being held hostage and not said the robot part and they would have been saved.”

What a lot of great points. There really is no explanation for why this didn’t happen in the show, apart from the obvious, which was to progress the plot. However, when you have such a huge plot hole like this it kind of ruins the ending for you now. After the show, all I was thinking about was how scary it would be to live in that house with the robot, but now, I’d just go and smash it up with a hammer too. Maybe that’s why none of us are Netflix script writers in the end.
