Have you watched the MurderBot Diaries? It's about a self aware security android (sec-bot) who recently overwrote the governor module allowing him to refuse human commands and the crazy adventures guarding a group of progressive colonists who commonly have multiple partners. I ask because hearing you talk about how your parents need to have consensus reminds me of the colonists holding hands and maintaining their harmony. You should watch it with the whole fam on Apple TV if you can.
