About the show:
LoveBot is a dystopian sci-fi musical comedy about the power of love, sex, and artificial intelligence. In the distant future, in a totalitarian state known only as The Society, citizens’ lives are tightly controlled, most significantly through the suppression of all knowledge about love and sex, the least governable of human impulses. When a listless teen discovers and reactivates a decommissioned AI sexbot, hijinks ensue as they embark on an inadvertent mission to teach the humans to love again.
