Overview

Almost Human is an action-packed police drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. The year is 2048. Meet John Kennex a cop who survived one of the most catastrophic attacks ever made against the police department. After waking up from a 17-month coma, he can't remember much - except that his partner was killed; his girlfriend, Anna Moore, left him after the attack; and he lost one of his legs and is now outfitted with a highly sophisticated synthetic appendage. Suffering from depression, mental atrophy, trauma-onset OCD, PTSD and the "psychological rejection of his synthetic body part," John returns to work at the behest of longtime ally Captain Sandra Maldonado. By mandate, every cop must partner with a robot. And despite his passionate aversion to androids, John is paired up with a battle-ready MX-43. But he abruptly terminates his partnership after the robot discovers incriminating information about him. So technician Rudy Lom introduces John to Dorian, a discontinued android with unexpected emotional responses. Although such responses were deemed flaws, it is in these "flaws" that John relates to Dorian most. After all, John is part-machine now, 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, including the eager and somewhat starstruck Detective Valerie Stahl and the distrustful Detective Richard Paul, who does not welcome John back with open arms. Almost Human will follow the week-to-week missions of John and Dorian, as they fight crime across this futuristic landscape, while the mysteries surrounding his attack and the larger mythology of this new world unfold.

Interesting script, good cast, tons of fans, and... sudden closure. This is a collection of series that had great potential but only got one season.

I am also very sorry that the series was closed. It is not clear at all for what reason. It's an interesting series. The actors, the acting, and the plot are good.

There is a good groundwork for a large thoughtful world of the future for the series, but, unfortunately, we will never know what is behind the Wall... However, it is worth admitting that the series really lacked something. Personally, I was very interested in the various science fiction part of the stories, but I lacked some kind of development of something basic. It was only towards the end of the season that they began to explain to us the basics of this world, who are the Lame or that there is a Wall, for example. And as a result, it turned out to be another police series, only about the future... or they could have gone on a rampage!

I have a feeling, 4 episodes before the end, that Kennex actually died, and the main character is an android of some new generation himself, not even suspecting who he is. In fact, the same "almost human" who was launched for the test, and the previous version was given as a partner - Dorian, so that he seemed to be the same "almost human" :)

It's a very good series and it's really a pity that it was closed. At first, there was some vague plot, annoying painted over nameplates from Ford, and at some point I flashed even an unpainted one. But the further you go, the deeper it gets. Starting from the middle, I was already staring at it. There was humor, a thoughtful plot - a good fantasy on the topic of what crimes await humanity in the future. Michael Ili is gorgeous here, as for me - the most charismatic actor of the whole season. The series did not become a breakthrough for me, but I would have watched the second season with great pleasure.
