... More a 'Synth' called Anita, but they start to suspect there's something unusual about her...LessBAFTA-nominated sci-fi series set in a parallel present where the latest must-have gadget for any busy family is a 'Synth'—a highly-developed robotic servant that's so similar to a real human it's transforming the way we live.
