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?
Ok.. what Im about to say is what many many people think of FOX..I don’t watch the network. I gave up on FOX when they bitchered Firefly(yes I’m a browncoat) They aired the episodes of Firefly out of order, just as they did with Almost Human. I only watched FOX this time for this show, and as I feared they are doing the same thing to it as they did to Firefly. When I heard they aired the episodes out of order I knew that this show was going to be screwed just as was done to Firefly. If FOX… Read more »
Renew it, please. My husband and I watch this show regularly on the internet since we have no TV service. We love it! Especially the developing relationship between the two main characters. There is definitely chemistry there which is very attractive to keep us coming back.
I think Almost Human is a great buddy cop drama and very well done..I do DVR the show because of the time slot… The episodes got stronger and stronger…Fox needs
to keep it in their lineup
Almost Human is a great show! I love the humor! It has made regular TV good again!
Please don’t let it be canceled!!!
Such a creative, funny and moving show!! My husband and I will be so disappointed if it’s cancelled!
We love this show PLEASE do not cancel it
As a rule I never watch shows on Fox. They never interested me. Until Almost Human. Its one of the few serial shows I watch religiously. Its intellegence, interesting story lines, with a little social commentary is, I think, a great combination. It just floors me that something this good, gets cancelled after only one season. Guess I will go back to not watching Fox.
It is a great show. I look forward to it every week and that is unusual for me. Please keep the show, between almost human and justifies I think fox has a couple of winners.
This is a great show: interesting and believable plots; appealing characters.. Keep this show!
This is the first sci fi show that has shown some creativity with the characters and plots. I like the addition of John L. as a sinister robotic designer and how he developed. More than likely this show is going to be cancelled because of two reasons. 1) It is going up against the voice. 2) Most Sci fi episodes plots have to be explained to my wife. She just doesn’t get it!
Sure go ahead and cancel it…we will have another Firefly
On our hands. That will make me even happier.
Great show , hoping it does not get cancelled. Look forward to watching it each week.
Almost human is literally the answer to what i have been wanting. They have things like Continum. where a scifi cop goes back in time. and they have things like Bones , a modern day crime show. but i wanted a happy medium, a scifi cop show that just takes place in the future and with high tech but still a contest cop show, pure and simple. Almost Human brought that for me. A nice show to record and watch with a soda in hand, not all shows have to be edge of you seat thrillers with a complex sope-oprea… Read more »
This is one of the best new TV shows I have seen in a long time. If they cancel it, they need to get new management. I think everyone has seen enough MINDLESS REALITY SHOWS to last all us a lifetime. PLEASE DO NOT, DO NOT, CANCEL THIS SHOW
I love Almost Human!! My husband and I watch it every week! It has so much potential. We so want to see it continue!!!!
