The new series is set in the future and follows the story of an unusual, advanced security robot. The coming of sentience allows it to explore human life and emotions while undertaking security missions. However, it turns out that these missions are not something the bot is interested in, wanting to watch futuristic soap operas instead.
The official logline of the series reads:
"In a high-tech future, a rogue security robot (Alexander Skarsgård) secretly gains free will. To stay hidden, it reluctantly joins a new mission protecting scientists on a dangerous planet... even though it just wants to binge soap operas."
The robot's humane understandings bring it to realize that humans are 'idiots'. While hiding the fact that it gained free will, the robot has to take up different tasks and continue its pretence. The funny interactions and challenges that the robot faces are what will be explored throughout the series.
