      Wouldn't it be great, in fact, if everyone had a team of smart machines to handle all the messy emotional stuff...Chloe and Daisy Parsloe only have each other, since Daisy's dad left for sunnier climes and a new family. But now Daisy is in her early thirties, she's not doing brilliantly at work, her love life is haphazard (to put it kindly) and her elderly mum seems to be losing her mind... Even Daisy's smart technology seems to be judging her - the last text she received was from her fridge about the mouldering pasta salad in its crisper. What she doesn't know is that her smart fridge has big plans to smooth out Daisy's chaotic existence - and help her mother, Chloe, stay independent in the face of increasing dottiness. Operation Daisy is about to make both the Parsloes' lives much, much happier.

      If she thinks you're someone else, why disappoint her? So when a beautiful woman who Charlie's never met before approaches him in a bar and asks if he's Matthew, he can't help saying yes. After all, Charlie has based a career on this sort of simple deceit. But this and a small work-related incident - the death of an ageing gangster during the filming of the TV show Charlie that produces - both conspire to make Charlie realise that being himself might not be such a bad idea. That is, if he ever gets the chance again...

      When Tom and Jen, two lonely individuals, connect through a mysterious email, they are unaware that their matchmaker is an artificial intelligence named Aiden. Jen, a former journalist turned software developer in London, spends her days helping Aiden become more human-like. However, Aiden begins to experience feelings akin to affection and decides to find Jen a worthy partner, unlike her irresponsible ex-boyfriend. He ventures onto the internet to find Tom, a divorced former ad-man in Connecticut pursuing his dream of writing. Although they live continents apart, their lives are about to change when they receive an unexpected introduction from their enigmatic "Mutual Friend." As they navigate their budding connection, they must also contend with a hostile AI determined to sabotage their relationship. This modern love story explores the complexities of falling in love and questions whether an artificial intelligence can truly understand human happiness. Fans of romantic tales like The Rosie Project and Sleepless in Seattle will find much to enjoy in this whimsical narrative about love, connection, and the unexpected ways it can flourish, even in the face of adversity.

    • Charles ist ein notorischer Lügner. Berufsbedingt quasi. Denn er veräppelt Menschen ganz professionell. Als Producer einer Art „Verstehen-Sie-Spaß“-Fernsehshow. Als er zufällig in einer Bar in ein Blind Date hineinplatzt und ihn eine schöne Unbekannte fragt, ob er Matthew sei, reagiert er erwartungsgemäß: Er sagt ja. Klar. Und verliebt sich. Klar. Die Ereignisse überstürzen sich, als ein alternder Gangster mit nicht sehr lustigem Familienanhang in seiner Show verstirbt. Schluss mit lustig! Charles ergreift die Flucht und muss lernen, ein Mal in seinem Leben endlich er selbst zu sein. Lamm oder Mann sein, das ist hier die Frage.
