"Almost Human" TV Show

    "This action-packed police drama set 35 years in the future centers around the unlikely partnership between a part-machine cop and a part-human robot.

    The year is 2048. Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban, Star Trek) is 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, he lost one of his legs and he 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. By mandate, every cop must partner with a robot. A technician introduces John to Dorian (Michael Ealy, Sleeper Cell), 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.

    From Emmy Award-winning executive producer J.J. Abrams (Lost, the Star Trek and Mission: Impossible franchises) and creator/executive producer J.H. Wyman (Fringe). Also starring Lili Taylor (Six Feet Under), Mackenzie Crook (Pirates of the Caribbean), Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights) and Michael Irby (Law Abiding Citizen)."

So is anybody watching this? I am excited with every new episode, I really like all these characters, especially as they are played by great actors, who really feel these roles.

If you like sci-fi or criminal movies and tv shows then go for it, watch it. It has 6 episodes so far and every single one is just great, you will enjoy every minute of it, and the music is nice too.

You can watch short trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV2ojHR40TQ

Warning! You might develop emotional bonds with these characters!

Well that's all, share your thoughts about this.

P.S. Had to input some futuristic topic here in this medieval middle of nowhere, haha.

And here I thought Karl Urban was foremost famous for his role in Lord of The Rings :D

The show seems awesome. Definitely gonna check it out.


Reminds me a lot of the one season series of Total Recall 2070. A mix between Total Recall and Blade Runner. Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olVSZLibyDk
