Cupertino might be made for your mom, but it’s a good take on tech
Cupertino brings the tech backlash to the CBS procedural — an initially awkward combination, but with rewarding results.
AI Summary
Cupertino, a new CBS procedural, tackles the tech backlash by weaving fictionalized versions of Zizians, Polymarket, Jeff Bezos’s looks‑maxxing obsession, OpenAI’s alleged theft of Scarlett Johansson’s voice, and the fight over AI guardrails into its storyline. The series begins uncertainly but quickly finds its footing, using the familiar feel of broadcast TV to explore feelings of helplessness amid rapid technological change that reaches beyond the San Francisco area. Created by married writers Robert and Michelle King—known for The Good Wife, The Good Fight, Elsbeth, and Evil—the 20‑episode season airs on CBS in the current “suspicious age of Ellison.”
