Code 404

2020–2022 · 3 seasons

A silly, fast-paced cop comedy where the sci-fi glitches fuel constant laughs and the odd moment of pathos.

Overview: In the near future, an undercover Detective Inspector gunned down and killed during a botched sting is brought back via an experimental Artificial Intelligence project. Full of glitches, he’s got to track down the person who shot him, prove himself as a cop so as not to get shut down, and save his marriage and his friendship, all with his partner Carver to boot.
How it feels: Absurd, satirical, light and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, friendship, technology, betrayal
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
