The show is produced by J.J. Abrams and supervised by J.H. Wyman, producer of Fringe, and produced by Bad Robot. The play is described as an "action and brotherly police and gangster drama", which takes place 35 years later in the near future. At this time, humanoid robots with high artificial intelligence have appeared, and all LAPD detectives have been assigned a humanoid robot partner. They have to investigate both human-related cases and robot-related cases. But in many cases, human cases and robot cases are mixed. In 2048, human society has evolved to a new height. Meet John Kennex (Karl Urban), the survivor of the most horrific attack on the police department in history. After 17 months in a coma, he finally woke up, but his memory of what happened was blurred. His partner was killed in that incident, and his girlfriend Anna Moore (Mekia Cox) has left him. He lost a leg and the doctor put one on him.
