Companion is a fun and clever Black Mirror-esque tale that rips on the sort of nice guys some dudes really think they are.

Jack Quaid effortlessly deploys romcom chops and turns his dorky buffoon character into something terrifying.

Sophie Thatcher gives us a stellar final (robot) girl heroine in what's ultimately a pretty straightforward story.
