In an alternate world, robots (HUBOT) are everywhere and used for many purposes. Some are sold like appliances. They are sex workers, factory workers, and even work in the home. The Engman Family gets one and names it, Anita. It has a hidden secret and her sex appeal causes problems in the family. The mother Inger Engman has elderly father Lennart Sollberg who lives alone with his beloved obsolete HUBOT Odi. Warehouse worker Roger is bitter at the HUBOT takeover of the workplace. His wife Therese is more interested in her HUBOT trainer. Leo Eischer tries to follow his late father David who created sentient humanity programming codes for the HUBOT. He leads a group who have incorporated the new programming. Police detective Beatrice Novak is secretly a HUBOT.
The world creation is great. The vision of a robotized society is intriguing. It's less compelling as a narrative. It follows too many stories and too many lead characters. The narrative flow is disrupted. It's not as compelling as this series deserves. The show asks some compelling social questions about this world. It doesn't give easy answers and that's very appealing. It was canceled after 20 episodes but has been adapted into an American version.
