Overview
It's the year 2048, and there are robots and hoverpods and shizzle like that. This is one of those shows that people are going to watch in 2048 and laugh at, much like 2001: A Space Odyssey and George Orwell's 1984 (not that you should laugh at 1984). An angsty, hotheaded cop and his partner get trapped in a firefight and because robots aren't humans (shouldn't that be obvious?) the robot goes off to help other, more statistically lucky people and Angsty Cop's partner dies. Angsty Cop decides to take out a vendetta against the robots, and systematically destroys them (aren't they expensive or something?) until he is paired with a robot that is more human than the others. Which seems to mean he makes annoying noises with his mouth. Cue a long journey into the world of self-realisation (for the robot) and more angst (for the human).
Stuff
I'm not really very excited about this. Yes, there's an actress I like in it, so I might watch a few episodes for support, but really it just looks like another one of those buddy cop films which I'm never a huge fan of - especially not because all of the buddies are inevitably male (unless Sandra Bullock is involved. Good for her). And while we're on the topic of sexist cop shows, why are all the robots male? Rude. Edit: not terribly surprised that it was cancelled. Unfortunately, this was an example of a show which had a fun futuristic premise and did absolutely nothing with it. Shame.

Taken from the trailer. Looooook, it's the future! It's full of skyscrapers, and billboards, and bridges! It's so futuristic! Hey, is that a helicopter in the background? Whoa.
