I watched this on TV in the uk in the 00s. It was made and set in America.It was set in a law firm maybe ten or twenty years in the future. There was only ever one season it was not renewed.

Most of the episodes considered the ethical problems concerned with the use of fictional new technology.

There was one where members of boyband in their 70s were taking a treatment to look in their 20s and trying to force a dissenting band member to also take the treatment.

There was a teenager trying to stop their parents constantly monitoring them.

One of the lawyers was obsessed, infatuated with his holographic 'secretary.'There was a episode about designer babies. There was one about human clones.

There was one where a man with learning difficulties took experimental medicine that increased his intelligence, but they then found out it also risked killing him.
