SPOILERS!
(Okay, I haven't reviewed episode 5, but I wanted to review episode 6 since it just came out. Also, I'm not going to structure this review like my previous ones.)
Murder Drones has just gotten really good again!
Firstly, the continuity seems better; we're not randomly switching locations anymore. Also, Uzi is starting to control her solver powers better! The sentinel designs are wonderful, robo-raptors rule. Also, just the sentinels as a concept are cool, the boot loop idea makes sense with them all being robots, along with the magnets that Alice uses to keep them down in her operating room. Oh, and then there's Alice and Beau! They were super cool characters, though it feels like they were only there to dispense some lore about Uzi's mom and then straight-up die. However, I do like their designs and motives, though who are they selling these parts to?
Tessa is also a good character here, her motives are explained very well, and N already has a decision to make: kill Uzi and save the world or spare her and let the world die. I'm curious to see how this ends up, they might end up with N going with a secret third option where both Uzi and everyone else are saved. However, there hasn't been any confirmation on Murder Drones season two, there's a chance that Uzi may die and that will simply be the end of the series.
As many know, V is (likely?) dead. It was a touching moment in an otherwise strange series. Personally, I think they should've waited one more episode, as I feel that V wasn't completely developed enough to be killed off like that. I hope she comes back next episode so she can fully undergo her redemption arc. (Maybe that was her redemption) Lastly, there is still more NUzi stuff of course. Yeah, you can argue that they're holding hands because they're scared, but it could be taken any way. I think I actually like it being more ambiguous, people get interpret their relationship and enjoy it instead of fighting over it as much.
Last thing: this episode really does feel like it's of a higher quality. The pilot was good and so was this episode, but the others have varied in quality. First, I think the meta-humor is to blame. There was almost no meta-humor in this episode. Second, this episode is closer to the end of the story. In my experience, it's easier for me to write a beginning and an end. The middle is what I struggle with. The same could be said for the writers for Murder Drones. I really wish the middle of the show wasn't so strange, maybe then people would be willing to watch all the way through.
(Also, N is forever best boy)

I think according to your comment that Alice and Beau should have left it!, since they could have seen more information provided about Uzi's mother and what she was like!
