Almost Human (2013–2014)
A show that can rival Star Trek and Robocop.
13 March 2014
I watched Almost human simply for Karl Urban. And ended up getting hooked on the whole show. The premise and the characters. It's vision of the future can rival Start Trek's bright optimistic future and Robocop's bleak criminal empire future. When Tech and science allows Criminals to get more powerful the cops need help. and they get it in the form of androids created to protect and serve. When Detective John Keenix is the sole survivor of a ambush. He lost his leg and now uses a robotic leg. But Keenix is mentally scarred. He wants answers to questions that seem to have none. Keenix hates the newer androids and is instead partnered up with a older model a DRN-1 called Dorian. The DRN lines were scrapped because of unpredictable behaviour. They have synthetic souls which allows them emotions and human like behaviour. Keenix and Dorian bond thru out the series. The potential is there to produce a great series that combines the vision of Star Trek with the reality of crime. It's been an entertaining show for it's first season and I hope it's renewed.
