Electric Easy

A sci-fi musical drama set in a futuristic Los Angeles where humans and androids coexist uneasily. Kesha, Chloe Bailey, and Mason Gooding lead the cast in this neo-noir story about a runaway android and the gang member sent to capture her -- who naturally develops complicated feelings about his assignment. Created by Vanya Asher (Shadow and Bone) and executive produced by Kesha. Yes, it is a musical. And yes, it works. The songs are integrated into the narrative rather than dropped in as interruptions, and the cyberpunk setting gives the musical numbers a distinctive atmosphere. The supporting cast includes Frances Fisher, Benito Skinner, and Lachlan Watson. At 15 episodes running 28 to 37 minutes each, it has the most room to breathe of any Qcode original. The show earned a 4.5-star rating from over 520 reviews. One reviewer compared the production quality to a "blockbuster tele-series," which is high praise for an audio-only format. Themes of community, identity, and acceptance run through the cyberpunk setting in ways that feel earned rather than heavy-handed. If the phrase "sci-fi musical noir" makes you curious rather than skeptical, Electric Easy will reward that curiosity.
