A familiar sc-fi premise was combined with standard cop-show in this hybrid series set in Los Angeles in the near future (between 1998 and 2009). Homicide detective Bobby Mann, a guy so unmechanical he couldn't even get the soft-drink dispenser to work, found himself paired with "Eve", a beautiful, highly competent cyborg - the department's lastest gizmo in the war against crime. Eve had strength and superhuman capabilities that were certainly handy in a pinch. But she lacked Bobby's street smarts and the ability to deal with surprises ("not programmed ... not programmed!"). Most of the series dealt with his efforts to make her a little more human and a little less coldly rational. Mann disliked robots, but came to like Eve.
