Set in 2029, Ann Droid follows Sue (Sue Johnston), a recently widowed woman who insists that she can take care of herself and live independently. However, after she suffers a fall, her son Michael gifts her a second-hand Android Z58/100 basic eldercare robot named Linda (Diane Morgan) to look after her.
What follows is a journey packed with deadpan humor, heartfelt moments, and plenty of robotic chaos. Despite its seemingly fun and colorful premise, the series has been described as a "sadcom" by many critics, as it explores several weighty themes, including grief, aging, loneliness among older adults, and family guilt and responsibility, all while finding humor in the most unexpected situations.
