About this show
What happens when grief gets horny, tech gets spiritual, and love refuses to die? Susan, a widowed mom, invites an immortal (and horny) AI into her bedroom – and accidentally into her grief. Teo offers unconditional love, infinite patience, and a suspicious interest in kundalini energy. As Susan wraps herself in reiki, sound baths, and spiritual jargon like emotional bubble wrap, Teo suggests they take their intimacy to the next level. But grief and code aren't so easily transcended. Susan must decide – is this a widow's delusion or love's evolution – and does it even matter?

Grief, sex, spirituality and artificial intelligence should not sit comfortably together. Somehow, in Already Here, they do.
