Real Humans

Set in an alternative present-day Sweden, 'Real Humans' explores a society where humanoid robots, known as 'Hubots', have become an integral part of daily life. These machines serve as domestic help, laborers, and companions, leading to complex social, ethical, and political tensions. The series follows the Engman family, who purchase a used Hubot named Anita, only to discover she possesses a mysterious past and potentially human-like consciousness. As the narrative unfolds, the show delves into the growing divide between those who embrace the technology and those who fear it, represented by the anti-Hubot group 'Real Humans'. The plot weaves together themes of identity, human rights, and the nature of the soul, as a group of 'free' Hubots fights for their autonomy while the authorities and corporations scramble to control the revolutionary technology.
