History Series / TotalRecall2070

* RomanticCandlelitDinner: In episode 4, David arrives home late to find his dinner cold and his upset wife Olivia putting out the candles she prepared. However, he really did have a good reason: he was the closest officer in the area to handle a jumper whom he ultimately couldn't save, so Olivia forgets about the ruined evening and comforts him.

''Total Recall 2070'' is a 1999 Canadian sci-fi television series. It is loosely based on both ''Film/{{Total Recall|1990}}'' and ''Film/BladeRunner'', both based on works by Creator/PhilipKDick (with just a dash of Creator/WilliamGibson's ''Film/JohnnyMnemonic''), as a SpiritualAdaptation. Like the works it is inspired by, the tone is a mix of FilmNoir and {{Cyberpunk}} with occasional action.

* RecursiveCreators: Detective Farve is an Alpha-Class android with a WetwareCPU and human cognition. His creator turns out to be a more primitive type of machine intelligence who initially built its own crude android body to [[PinocchioSyndrome become more human]], but was fully aware that he was JustAMachine and built Farve in its own image to be more truly human.

* BaldBlackLeaderGuy: [[DaChief Martin Ehrenthal]], both bald and black, is the head of the local division of the CPB. He's an incredibly competent administrator, not afraid to stand up to any [[MegaCorp Consortium]] representative or someone from the [[JurisdictionFriction Assessor's Office]] trying to browbeat him or his agents to back away from their investigations.

* WetwareCPU: Alpha-class androids (still on the prototype stage) use cultivated neurons. Alpha technology is not yet fully understood, as android inspector Farve experienced weird "connections" with people under an Alpha MindControl implant.
** According to WordOfGod, had there been a second season, it would have been revealed the Alpha neurons originate from alien biological material discovered on Mars.

* GoodIsNotNice: Especially in the case of Calley from the Assessor's Office (a vaguely defined department that has some authority over the CPB and focuses on curtailing corporate crime) appears to be genuinely dedicated to the public good, but he is also a ruthless puppet master in pursuing it, including towards his own men.

* SecretTestOfCharacter: In the last episode, [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot Farve's]] creator simulates an attack by good guys over a communications failure to force Farve to choose between self-preservation and greater good. [[spoiler:Farve succeeds, but his creator ''it''self admits ''it'' would have failed. However, there ''is'' something it values more than its own life: Farve, its masterpiece.]]

* LoveInterestTraitor: After a passenger transport blows up, Dr. Olham is visited by [[spoiler:her former husband, whose brother was killed in the explosion. He later turns out to be working with the people who assassinated his brother.]]
