This evening marks the season finale of Almost Human on FOX. Will it also be the last episode? Should this sci-fi series be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Almost Human takes place in the future and follows the partnership of a distrustful cop (Karl Urban) and an android who’s capable of emotion (Michael Ealy). The cast also includes Minka Kelly, Mackenzie Crook, Michael Irby, and Lili Taylor.
The show debuted on a Sunday in mid-November and drew a 3.1 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 9.18 million total viewers. It was a very healthy start, thanks in part to the fact that it had an NFL game as a lead-in. The numbers dropped more than 26% for episode two on the following night.
Over the course of the season, Almost Human’s ratings have been on the decline and now seem to have settled around a 1.6 in the demo with about 5.5 million viewers. That’s a far cry from its premiere.
While the show’s chances for a renewal could certainly be better, they could be worse too. Overall, the FOX schedule is in pretty sorry shape so that could spell good news for Almost Human. They’ve had lousy luck with new shows and some older shows have lost a lot of steam so the execs may be hesitant to cancel this one.
The decision will likely come down to how confident they feel about the network’s new dramas but I suspect Almost Human will get a 13 episode renewal for next year.
But, what do you think? Do you like Almost Human on FOX? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a second season?
This is one show that both me and my husband look forw2ard to watching every week together! And now it seems to be off the air! It sure seems like anything that has a high quality of acting and storyline doesn’t hold the ratings. I am sorely disappointed in what is going on in todays’s world!
Give the show a chance it was great and refreshing.
I truly love this show please please don’t’ CANCEL
I never watch Fox as a rule of thumb.I detest Fox.I never watched 24,and keifer sutherland is very good at his trade.I never watch anything on Fox.Ever.So I cringe to admit I’m hooked on Almost Human.By cancelling this show you will re-enforce my opinion of Fox.
Please save this show!!!! This is a great show with great characters. I looked forward to Monday nights.
I love this show. Pleasssse don’t cancel.
People don’t watch live TV any more to many things come on at the same time there needs to be some kind of rating for DVR recordings that does not mean shows should be canceled.
It’s 2014 and this called DVR so you see several shows cone at the same time so maybe ratings should be looked at differently.
I am obsessed with this show!! Absolutely love it. The relationship between Kennex, and Dorian is so great. PLEASE renew for many more seasons!
IT SHOULD STAY ON WITH CHIICAGO PD
IT SHOULD STAY ON. AFTER ROOKIE BLUE GOT CANNCELED THE ONLY COP SERIES THATS GOOD IS ALMOST HUMAN. MAKE IT STAY ON!!!!!!!!
Love this show. Please renew!!!!
LOVE THE SHOW, IT SHOULD BE CONTINUE
I am so tired of my shows getting cancelled after only one season. Give the show a chance.
Probably the best show of the season. It has great acting, super interaction of main characters, and genuine human feeling. It just has to be renewed! It’s the best of the best!
