Description
In the near future of 2033, Nathan is working on a free version of the software that runs the digital afterlife, only to be uploaded to one of the poshest versions around after his self-driving care malfunctions and crashes. Nora is an "Angel" who works at Lakeview, in charge of Nathan's comfort and digital appearance in his forever-after. Sparks fly! And we're not talking about the crashed car. As a relative investigates the circumstances about Nathan's death, Nora discovers that some of Nathan's memories are corrupted. Could it be that Nathan was murdered for his altruistic work?

And somehow it was renewed for not one buy two seasons, the latest one premiering on October 20th, 2023!
