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?
I think this show should definitely be renewed! It is one of the cleverest and entertaining shows on! Please do not cancel!!!
This show improves with each episode as the actors settle into the characters. Additionally, the stories have also been improving and there’s great scope for the show to do alot better.
Almost Human deserves a chance to shine and a second season could well ensure that happens.
I hope Almost Human is renewed, it is one of the best shows on tv. CW please keep this show on TV!
I love “Almost Human”! Please renew for second season! 🙂
I would really hate not to see more of this show. Of course I’m a big Si-Fi fan, and this kind of show really makes my evening, filling the big holes that Fringe/Star Trek and even the cancelled Alcatraz have left. On the other hand, I don’t watch ANY reallity show and frankly, find them dumb an an insult to all our intelligences (just my opinion). So it is my wish that people at Fox will take us Si-Fi fans into account and give us at least one more season of this entertaining, humoristic, and enjoyable show. (sorry for the… Read more »
I like almost human, the cast is great and I hope that they get a second season. It’s fun to watch!
I also really enjoyed the show. Creative, good cast and chemistry (esp Dorian and Kennex) and of course the sci-fi angle; as well as making one consider the implications of technology running amok (doesn’t sound so futuristic!)
Great show.great acting.bring it back…!
Love, Love the show!! Please renew it!!!
A great show, so I guess that means they’ll cancel it. Seriously, one of the few shows I look forward to watching. There are so many possible story lines here it’s not funny. They’d be fools to cancel it. Enough of the garbage reality shows which I absolutely watch zero. Needs way better advertising and a time slot where it’s not going against two powerhouses on CBS, the Bachelor on ABC and the Voice on NBC. You can almost guarantee low ratings with that as competition. With most DVRs typically capable of recording two shows at most, guess which show… Read more »
Definitely keep the show. It’s one of the few with consistency. The storyline stays on track and the acting is good.
Show has promise, but it’s too episodic (and, yes, I know about the out-of-order showings).
The Wall and the Syndicate, alone, could be a multi-season story ark. But, instead, we get futuristic cop-show.
I’d vote “attempt season 2” but create a full season long story line with minimum episodic filler episodes.
I like the show, it filled the gap Fringe left. Fox should renew it. Sleepy Hollow and Almost Human are a good combo, for Sci-fi fans.
So ends the 13-Episode “1st Season” of Almost Human. It’s not that I don’t love the World that Wyman has built – Which appears to be pieces of Judge Dredd (The Wall) and Blade Runner (Replicants and huge Asian Images on the walls of buildings) – Mostly it is that I started caring about John Kennex (Which has a similar sound to “Dekard” in Blade Runner) and DRN Dorian almost immediately. Also Rudy (Nod to the 6 Million Dollar Man?), Stahl, Maldonado, Detective Paul and even the MX’s which all speak with the same voice. Not many shows have this… Read more »
This show has to be one of the most interesting cop shop i have so far seen, and i have seen a couple, i certainly hope the network realizes what this show brings and can still bring to the table.
I really like the show. it’s a good show and the chemistry between Dorian and Kennex is really good so with all that being said I am really worried now. The show is on fox and they love to cancell good shows
