TV show description:
This sci-fi police drama takes place 35 years into the future, in the year 2048. It’s a world in which police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids.
Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban) is a cop who’s survived one of the most catastrophic attacks ever made against the police department. He wakes up after a 17-month coma. He can’t remember much — except that his partner was killed. He’s lost one of his legs and is now outfitted with a highly sophisticated synthetic appendage. He suffers from depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD, PTSD and the “psychological rejection of his synthetic body part.”
John returns to work at the encouragement of his longtime ally, Captain Sandra Maldonado (Lili Taylor). Every cop must now be paired with a robot and, despite his passionate aversion to androids, John is no exception.
He’s partnered with a battle-ready MX-43 model. He abruptly terminates this pairing after the robot discovers incriminating information about him. As a result, technician Rudy Lom (Mackenzie Crook) introduces John to Dorian (Michael Ealy), a discontinued android with unexpected emotional responses.
Although these responses were deemed flaws, it’s these “flaws” that John relates to Dorian most — John is part-machine and Dorian is part-human. John and Dorian’s understanding of each other not only complements them, it connects them.
As he adjusts to working with his new partner, John also must learn to get along with his new colleagues, like the sharp and insightful human intelligence analyst Detective Valerie Stahl (Minka Kelly) and Detective Richard Paul (Michael Irby), a distrustful man who doesn’t welcome John back with open arms.
Episode #13 – Straw Man
Kennex and Dorian revisit the past when a string of murders are similar to those committed by a serial killer who was put in jail by Kennex’s father. Dorian gets his first performance review after being reactivated.
First aired: March 3, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like the Almost Human TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for another season?
Come on you big guys like to cancel a good show with no warning we have watch all shows and enjoyed our Monday Nights watching Almost Human its a better show the the replacement Star Cross ????? almost human is the furture star cross NOT
Please, please do not cancel the one decent show on TV. Isn’t everyone bored with the never ending reality shows?
Definitely renew! What happen? I was all ready to watch it. I also buy each episode. Then I look & it’s gone! Why does this keep happening with excellent shows. All these stupid reality shows keep being added. This show had some creativity.
Absolutely renew. We never miss an episode.
Please continue. Love this show!
definately renew it please. Good story, actors and humor
Renew it please. Why in the world did they take it away without notice? It was there last Monday with a “New” not “Repeat” show and now has been replaced by Bones (nothing against Bones). This TV show really worked – they connected with the public, gave them a look in to what the future might become, got their attention and kept it. I truly don’t understand why it no longer exists.
Definitely renew!!!
This is the most refreshing idea in TV series in years. Give it a chance I would hate to see it go. The creators are geniuses. I look forward to every episode.
I have DVRed all the episodes and have just started watching them and I am HOOKED!!! This show has to be renewed!!! Cmon how many good shows does FOX have??? Other than AMerican Idol this is it!!! DRN and Kennex are great as partners and Im dying to see Minka Kelly and Karl Urban together!!!
COME ON……….give it another chance. It’s just started getting good. The last show especially. when Dorian gives John the new upgraded leg. The best bonding moment ever. He literaly is giving him a “leg up” to working better. Bring the boys back in town.
I LOVE ALMOST HUMAN ……… IT IS A GREAT SHOW AND AMONG ONLY A FEW GOOD PICTURES ON TV NOW. I REALLY HOPE THIS SHOW IS NOT CANCELLED. I WILL BE REALLY MAD AT YOUR STATION IF IT IS!!!!!!!! PLEASE KEEP THIS REALLY GOOD PICTURE ON AND KEEP IT ON MONDAYS!!!!!!!
Please renew Almost Human…it is an exceptional show.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this show I hope it stays on for many years to come
I really enjoy this show. The future of technology is fascinating. The relationship between the DRN and Kennex is classic and fun to watch. I hope this show returns for a second season.
