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?
It is a good show, the actors have good chemistry, please renew it.
Finally, a smart, funny and interesting sci-fi series and it is not being watched. This series has the feel of Bladerunner, a different take on Robocop and thoroughly entertaining characters all its own. Fox has not done a very good job of advertising Almost Human in its line up. his series has a lot more to offer if they give it a chance and make sure sci-fi fans know it exists.
Renew it! I want to know more about this seemingly utopian society plagued by problems caused by advancing technology outpacing our ability to control it. A world divided in two by a literal “Wall” that’s gone up, presumably after some sort of major disaster (casual mention of “New Pittsburgh,” anyone?).
Renew it! So many possibilities! The Syndicate story line, what’s on the other side of the wall, Dorian’s creator – what IS he doing on the other side of the wall, The relationship between Kennex and Dorian – ever evolving.
I love the show Almost Human.! Finally something good on Monday nights!
If you insist on moving Bones back to Monday night (even though it’s gotten really tired and run its course), then put Almost Human on at another time. This show …Almost Human…..has so much potential.! Please give us a second season….for the fans.
Hoping it will be renewed! The series is a refreshing take on future police and governmental dealings with the public and within the agencies. I enjoyed the reluctant trust and eventual growing friendship between John and Dorian. Nothing over the top, just subtly touching on what lies beneath the surface of someone dealing with the death of his late partner and supporting officers that John’s character portrays and the confused “human like ” emotion that Dorian’s character portrays as he is recommissioned/reawaken . I like that there is some mystery tossed in to make the viewer ponder Johns past, such… Read more »
I love this show. I am so tired of those so called reality shows they are putting on tv and it is so nice to actually have shows on tv like almost human, sleepy hollow and all the others that we can get into and forget “reality” for a change. We have enough reality in life to live with already!!! Please don’t cancel this show. It is funny, and lets us “get away” from life for a while. Please don’t cancel this show!!!!
Not the world’s best show, but an enjoyable one. Interesting concept, though I wish more had been mentioned about ‘the wall’. I’d keep watching if it was renewed. Better than most of what is on the tube right now.
I love Almost Human!!! The actors are great especially Dorain and his partner John. Please don’t cancel. For some reasons all the channels decided that Monday want the best night so there are several shows that I watch coming on at the same time –8:00 to 12:00. It’s a good time that I can tape the shows and watch one while the others are taping. Wednesday & Saturday seem to be the 2 night that needs some great programs on. Both are 2 dead night for watching anything.
BBC america and hallmark are running shows on saturday. check them out.
I really hope Fox isn’t going to cancel this. There are so many unanswered and I really love those guys. Plus I am soo tired of TV Shows getting quit. And always those who I want to see. Is TV just for the dumb who wan’t to see how other people make them selfs look silly? Please stop with that. I love the show, it’s so refreshing not to have to look at runninggags the whole time!
I think it is dead. The actors are wooden. K. Urban sounds EXACTLY like his character from the new Star Trek Movies, Once I was on my laptop, heard the voice and thought, nice, they are playing Star Trek 2009 on TV, I looked up and it was Almost Human. For those saying how it is a new take on a robot cop and partner angle, it really isn’t. There was a show called Mann and Machine that did it better. Minka Kelly is awful, I am sorry but her lines are delivered like she is in some kind of… Read more »
I look forward to monday at fox with Almost Human and Sleepy Hollow.
If you cancel these two shows and put in something stupid there are other
things to watch.
Of course it may be cancelled and about time. It took itself way too serious. Only character worth watching was the Michael Ealy character. Someone forgot that there is an audience to be entertained. When something is too serious all the time, we lose interest. Am thinking that although the actors are good, there was some mis-casting in here and they didn’t work together because each character was too serious about everything. That is, except the Michael Ealy character. It was a joy to watch him. Kennix the main character acted like he had a board up his butt and… Read more »
almost human is on fox. fox kills shows with no impunity. this one is gone. if they were going to keep it they would have said so already. the finale looked like it could be an ending. to bad , good show.
Debe renovarse!! Almost Human no es solo una serie de ciencia ficción, cada capítulo deja un mensaje!! La TV de EEUU es incomprensible!! Saca del aire series de gran valor y renueva otras que son un desastre!!! La TV Europea (Italia, Francia, Alemania, España) no mide tanto el tan mentado rating, hay otras valoraciones!!!!!
