The chemistry and humor in this show is fantastic, and the technology sprinkled throughout the world is really fascinating. A great show with so, so much potential, and the characters to make you care about where it's going. It's had a rough time - what with out of order episodes and even then, only getting thirteen of them - but if anything, it just shows how great things really are that they can pull off such a good show! (Besides that, I get my fluff and my action. This is always a good thing.) Tons of fandom potential.

I hate syfi shows butt this show i loved i think because its based in 2048 a time i might be able to see and all technology based on what we have today just very advanced and technically possible. All of the long running great shows ratings sucked in the first couple season's i cant believe they canceled it before the second season . And they still made money on it but not enuff for them proving they care only about money and couldn't care less about actually entertaining people. there greedy aholez

Great show in the finest traditional of odd-couple buddy cop procedurals, Almost Human is certainly in a class by itself with its human (cybernetically enhanced) and android pairing. Well written up until the point the writers started flailing for a larger story arc, Karl Urban and Michael Ealy bring a realistic tension between human and machine facing life and death decisions police must face. Lili Taylor is probably used to best affect in her career cast against type as the stable commander amidst chaos.
