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?
Please renew.
This is one of my favorite shows- the cast camaraderie rivals NCIS, the wit in the dialogue is wonderful, the pace of the plot keeps me interested and the stars are more than easy on the eyes. I’m not overly fond of either of the women leads, but would gladly put up with Minka Kelly’s one-face wooden acting if it means I can continue watching Karl Urban and Michael Ealy!
I like the show, bring it back on
I loved the show. Monday nights were the best with Castle, Intelligence and Almost Human. Please leave it on and bring it back next year.
I LOVE Almost Human !!!! I hope they do NOT cancel it…..
I LOVE it !!! I hope they do Not cancel it….
Renew it. It is a really good show. It just needs a chance to build it’s fan base.
Most cop shows are about the same…the cops don’t solve the murders…the writers do.
BUT, this has so much more imagination and “newness” to solving the “same ‘ol murder scenario” that I LOVE it.
I have recommended this on Facebook and at ‘The Eagles” and everyone is now waiting week to week to watch it.
If ratings are down it has to be something besides the writing, great acting and special effects that are the reason.
GIVE IT A CHANCE….DON’T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF CANCELING THIS JEWEL
Keep it! It’s great! Definitely reminds me a lot of Fringe–but that’s a good thing!
I love this show! I don’t generally like sci-fic but do like this. I look forward to watching each week or if need be, DVR it so sometimes I can watch the same episode twice. This is good writing and good watching. I hope it is renewed.
Only new show worth saving! I love this show; a sci fi that with intelligence. Please, please, please do not cancel!
Wondering if they consider that people watch online as well. I wasn’t able to catch any of the live shows because of my 3 year old always watching Disney Jr.; however, I was able to catch up in 2 days of non-stop watching. Needless to say I am hooked!
HOW RIGHT YOU ARE…
I watched every episode on line as I work graveyard and had not heard of it till a friend recommended it. AND I am so glad he did…
Finally a show for people who think, and the executives who don’t, immediately threaten to cancel it! I have seen enough of lifestyles of the swamp and trailer park that “reality” tv has brought us. Please keep Almost Human on the air and while you are at it how about a few more shows for those of us with three digit IQs.
I am a huge Scifi fan and absolutely love this show! I haven’t been this excited about a new Scifi show since Firefly. Please don’t cancel this show!
I am a science fiction fan and this show really fits the genre. I love this show and each week it got more exciting than the last. Please do not cancel.
