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?
Great show! Not a bimbo idiot reality show.
They are right Fox is messed up. Almost Human was a great show
I thought the show had just the right mix of humor, sci-fi, tech, imagination and mystery. I’m shocked it didn’t apparently “click” with the general public. Bring it back please.
Seems like Fox just doesn’t understand what quality tv is. How is we can have dozens of moronic “reality” tv shows going at once but can’t hold onto one great sci-fi show for anything. I’m about at a point where no matter the quality of show fox might put out, I might as well not watch it. Because if it’s any good the liklihood of it being cancelled is better than a crap show about some idiotic house wives or people who couldn’t tie their own shoe laces. Here’s a suggestion to anyone with a great tv show idea that… Read more »
This was a wonderful show, thought provoking, interesting. I was so looking forward to continuing the storyline. Why they canceled it is beyond me. Bring it back!
Loved this show, so of course it’s gone. I’m just not sure why everyone is so enthralled with all the ridiculous so called “reality shows”. I watch programming to get away from the stupid people!
you get a good TV show on and what do you do cancel it what the hell whats wrong with you people. I’m 65 I like shows like this
The series was just getting interesting till they stopped. Another cult tv show added to the list of great tv programings to watch.
I’ve been watching the reruns too, but I wish they would pick it back up.
You can fish rerun on the El ray network on cable. Just watched, wow how much I missed it.
Really liked the show. So tired of idiot reality shows and vulgar sit-coms!
At least they are showing reruns where I live. IDIOT studio heads.
Almost Human was a great show. Characters likeable, good storylines. I never missed an episode.
Renewed man I really like this show
Now I guess it’s in syndication, so maybe while people are binge watching it, it’s creators will try to bring it back. If it were on at 8:00, Thursdays, I’d chose it over Big Bang.
