TV show description:
This sci-fi police drama takes place 35 years into the future, in the year 2048. It’s a world in which police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids.
Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban) is a cop who’s survived one of the most catastrophic attacks ever made against the police department. He wakes up after a 17-month coma. He can’t remember much — except that his partner was killed. He’s lost one of his legs and is now outfitted with a highly sophisticated synthetic appendage. He suffers from depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD, PTSD and the “psychological rejection of his synthetic body part.”
John returns to work at the encouragement of his longtime ally, Captain Sandra Maldonado (Lili Taylor). Every cop must now be paired with a robot and, despite his passionate aversion to androids, John is no exception.
He’s partnered with a battle-ready MX-43 model. He abruptly terminates this pairing after the robot discovers incriminating information about him. As a result, technician Rudy Lom (Mackenzie Crook) introduces John to Dorian (Michael Ealy), a discontinued android with unexpected emotional responses.
Although these responses were deemed flaws, it’s these “flaws” that John relates to Dorian most — John is part-machine and Dorian is part-human. John and Dorian’s understanding of each other not only complements them, it connects them.
As he adjusts to working with his new partner, John also must learn to get along with his new colleagues, like the sharp and insightful human intelligence analyst Detective Valerie Stahl (Minka Kelly) and Detective Richard Paul (Michael Irby), a distrustful man who doesn’t welcome John back with open arms.
Episode #13 – Straw Man
Kennex and Dorian revisit the past when a string of murders are similar to those committed by a serial killer who was put in jail by Kennex’s father. Dorian gets his first performance review after being reactivated.
First aired: March 3, 2014.
What do you think? Do you like the Almost Human TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for another season?
I hate reality TV except dancing with the stars. Please bring back Almost Human…love science fiction, but it has to be intelligent. The people who cancelled it gave up too soon.
I enjoy this show…..sorry that it was taken off the air….did not get a chance to succeed.
Why was the cancelled some of my favorite actors , made the so interesting a show has to have time to build a fan base , one of the best shows ,hate that it was cancelled.
The show was renewable. The DC comic programs are reruns from the comics. We read them 30 years ago and are not entertained.It amazes me that Castle has been around since Firefly and you cancelled this after 13 shows. Go back to your statistics, because your missing it.
It should definitely been renewed. They are cancelling series so quickly now, even before I knew they existed. I have found several series the past few years when they had already been on for months or even an entire season. This yr I told my adult son about 3 new series I knew he would love and he hadn’t heard of any. With all the the channels and shows on today they need to allow more time or put more into advertising. It would be nice to have an entire station that reviewed and advertised upcoming programming, if you don’t… Read more »
