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?
YES, PLEASE DO NOT CANCEL THIS SHOW. IT’S REFRESHING TO SEE GOOD QUALITY TV SHOWS AIRING ON TV AGAIN. IT’S BEEN AWHILE.
Do not cancel. I love the inter play between John and Dorian.
I hope Fox is taking into account DVR recordings. I hate commercials and all my shows are recorded so that I can fast forward through them! Also, what about all the times this show was not shown due to games and those viewers without DVR, forgetting to tune in for the next showing a week later? This unique show deserves a chance!!
please keep it on the air you always take the good shows off like tera nova
This is the ONLY J.J.Abrams show I watch -and I love it because unlike his other drifting series (Lost, Alcatraz, etc.), this show does NOT drift. It has a simple, straight-forward basis, which hints only slightly at the past, and sticks primarily with the present -meaning the show being viewed. Almost Human des not require a guide book of characters and occurances to make it click. One never expects to be challanged by history getting changed a couple episodes -or seasons- away, to make a new direction fit the stumbling story. This is basically a future-like police procedural -like Blade… Read more »
I ENJOY THIS SHOW VERY MUCH. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW IT WILL PROGRESS. IF YOU DO DECIDE TO CANCEL IT YOU MAY NOT GET ME TO TRY ANY NEW SHOWS YOU PUT ON JUST BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WILL CANCEL THEM. TRY WEDNESDAY. THERE ISN’T ANY GOOD SHOWS ON THAT DAY, EXCEPT FOR ONE.
Please keep it, don’t cancel. We really like it and have looked forward to Monday night!!
Please renew Almost Human, it’s the best show of 2014, I have looked forward to it every week and want to learn more about Dorian’s and Kennex’s past. Please reniew this fresh new show keep Karl Urban and Michael Ealy as the dynamic duo on our screens.
I, as well as 3 other people I know feel the same way as you,always looking forward to seeing Almost Human every week. This is the best cop partner team on tv !!
Please do not cancel this show. Let it go for a 2nd season. It is an excellent show!
Keep Almost Human on the air. It is one of the best shows on Fix. Sure beats Cosmos hands down.
Do Not Cancel. This is a good series.
I can’t understand why great, intelligent shows like this are constantly being cancelled, and pure crap like the Real Housewives or Honey Boo Boo get renewed season after season. Fox has a winner here if they will just trust the writers and producers(who by the way are doing great work). FOX please stop cancelling all the great Sci-Fi dramas…I’m still pissed about Firefly being cancelled!
AMEN!! I can’t stand all this staged “reality” garbage!!
I just read your comment after posting mine, and am so glad to see that we said almost the same thing.
Do not cancel this show. If you do, you might feel “less than Human”. Just kidding. Please keep this show. Love it!
Please do not cancel this show… my husband and I really like it!
Do NOT cancel plesse
