The series is produced by J.J. Abrams and supervised by J.H. Wyman, the producer of "Fringe," with production by Bad Robot. It is described as an "action and brotherhood-focused police drama," set in a near future 35 years from now. At that time, highly advanced humanoid robots with artificial intelligence have emerged, and every detective in the Los Angeles Police Department is assigned a humanoid robot partner. They investigate cases related to humans as well as those involving robots. However, in many cases, human cases and robot cases are intertwined. In 2048, human society has evolved to a new height. Meet John Kennex (Karl Urban) — the survivor of one of the most terrifying attacks on the police department in history. After being in a coma for 17 months, he finally wakes up, but his memory of the events is hazy. His partner was killed in that incident, and his girlfriend Anna Moore (Mekia Cox) has left him. He has lost a leg, and doctors have equipped him with a highly sophisticated bionic leg. John is depressed, his spirit is low, and he suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety, constantly tormented by the feeling of rejection towards the "bionic parts" in his body. Nevertheless, he returns to the force at the request of Captain Sandra Malconado (Lili Taylor). Sandra is his longest-known and most loyal friend, and he knows she would never harm him. According to orders from higher-ups, every police officer must now partner with a robot. Despite John's strong aversion to robots, he is assigned a robotic partner — an MX-43 type machine police officer that has just gone online and is ready for battle. When the robotic colleague discovers that John is hiding some criminal evidence, John ruthlessly "terminates" him (refer to the trailer for related scenes). Then, lab technician Rudy Lom (Mackenzie Crook) introduces him to a new robot companion: Dorian (Michael Ealy). Because Dorian exhibits unexpected "emotional responses," the police department revokes his duty status and recalls him to the lab for a thorough examination. Although these "emotional responses" appear to be mere malfunctions in Dorian's central system, it is precisely these "errors" that resonate with John. After all, John is now "part robot," while Dorian is "part human." The mutual understanding between John and Dorian not only complements them in their work but also "connects" them in a certain way. While adapting to his new partner, John must also learn to get along with new colleagues — including the fame-hungry Detective Valerie Stahl (Minka Kelly) and the always suspicious Detective Richard Paul (Michael Irby). Richard insists that John is responsible for the catastrophic mission that led to the deaths of multiple officers, and he certainly does not welcome John's return to the department. The series features a combination of standalone elements and ongoing story arcs (a characteristic seen in nearly all J.J. Abrams' series). Each week, John and Dorian will tackle specific cases in a vibrant future urban setting, but the truth behind that past incident remains a mystery for John. His investigation into this enigmatic event and the related story will propel the main plot forward. Most of the other producers of the series come from the "Fringe" team, and many of the writers are also "in-house" writers for Bad Robot (having worked on "Fringe," "Person of Interest," "Revolution," and more). J.J. Abrams once mentioned in an interview that the series carries a flavor of "Blade Runner."
