This is an inane hodgepodge of sci-fi, political thriller and perhaps some kind of ill-considered satire \u2013 of reality TV, venal politicians? It\u2019s hard to divine the target when the attack is so scattershot. It is supposed to take place in the US in 2040 where everyone is obsessed with watching a daily TV show about a buxom android housewife with an English accent named Ria (Jess Impiazzi); she spends every day nearly the same way with her husband Jack, from waking up and breakfasting to winding down with an evening soap opera and then sex if Jack so wishes.
