It doesn't appear as if this has aired in the US yet, but I just watched the pilot episode, and thought it got off to a great start. I'll definitely continue watching. I've caught a few episodes of "Real Humans" now and again, the Swedish show upon which this is based, and wished I'd managed to see more, so I'm glad to see that there's now a good English language adaptation to keep up with.
The show is about a world where there are worker/helper androids basically everywhere, and focuses on a few individuals dealing with the ramifications. There's also a small group of androids who are sentient, and are on the run. It's not a new premise, but it's done very well so far.
It has a few familiar faces, including Catherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd) and Colin Morgan (Merlin), but I like the whole cast so far (especially the hot asian android). I'd recommend this to any scifi fans.
-
Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Just saw this advertised. Being that it's on AMC I think that bodes well also because they produce quality shows. Like you said, it's not exactly an 'original' premise but I'm curious as to the direction and take they'll give us on it.

I hadn't heard anything about this adaptation until I saw it pop up and had to check it out.
So far, so good for quality. I was impressed from start to finish. It deals with the human element thoughtfully and maturely, with every character having their own unique and realistic relationship with the androids. Again, it's not entirely original on the surface, with the obvious stuff like fear of being replaced by robots, and simply wanting to f*** them, but it's shown and developed in subtle and relatable ways. If it maintains this quality of writing, it's going to be one to watch out for.
-
It's starting here soon. I've already set my DVR for it.
-
Looking forward to William Hurt's performance. I loved him in 'The Big Chill' and I think he has some acting chops...

He didn't have as big a part as the other family in the first episode, and isn't connected to the bigger story yet from what I could tell, but the story with him and his "synth" is touching so far.
-
I'm only posting in this thread because Blob chided me.
Are you happy papa?!
-
No. You weren't supposed to tell them that bit! :lol
After the third episode, this is cementing itself as my favourite show of the year so far. Pretty much a perfect series so far imo.
-
:lol
Well, like I said in the general chat, That was a strong 1st episode and I like seeing actors acting like robots and showing their humanity. I also liked the human's reason's for keeping as malfunctioning robot. It's his last connection to family. I like that aspect.
-
:lol

I liked that too. At first impression I thought he just hated his synth and was hiding it away in his closet, but it ended up being a deeper story. Seeing the mother's increasing paranoia with Anita each week is also excellent.
-
For good reason as well! I wonder what the robot's game plan is there? She was stolen and sold of so is she just biding her time for an escape? Also, what's with her carrying out the little girl? I know you know, but I can't wait to see why.

Some of that has been answered, some of it is still an unfolding mystery, but what I like is that it doesn't beat you over the head with questions/answers as is the trend in modern shows. It just lets things play out in subtle ways.
-
A good story arc then. Sweetness.
-
I have this recorded but haven't had the chance to watch.....hopefully tonight I can get to it.
-
Finally had a chance to catch the pilot. Pretty good. It appears AMC may have done it again. I like the William Hurt story line....both he and his Synth essentially going through the same thing...aging and losing memory. when he celebrated when his synth regained that memory, it was sad/touching.
'Anita' is fascinating as well. Carrying the girl off was a bit strange but I guess we will see what comes of it? And I can't decide if the man (organization) who've captured Frank are really 'bad' people or not? On the surface it appears as if they are but I get the sense...from him at least...that he almost admires them?
Anyway...good start.
-
Interesting to see that the 'human' of that group of synths is actually some sort of 'cross breed?' And, I think the actors playing synths are doing a pretty convincing job of it with the mannerisms and speech patterns.

He definitely seems to be some kind of cyborg. How much so I don't know. The latest UK episode has revealed a bit more about Leo, but has raised more questions than answers at this point.
The latest episode had a lot going on, and still keeps getting better. Niska is a firecracker.
-
Saw Episode 2. The memory of swimming what fascinating. Watching robots acting like Humans and then see them act like robots in the present is really cool to watch. I have so many question right now. Can't wait to see how it's played out.
-

I have so many question right now.
Yeah....there is a lot being set up and so much going on. The rebellious Daughter who hates synths (who I suspect before it's all said and done will be a major ally to them) the Detective (or whatever) who called them the 'Mona Lisa' and the 'Atom Bomb'....still not sure what angle he's taking. Anyway, good start to the series.
-
And what about the actor that played "Merlin" on the TV show that's been running with the other Robot. He was cut and the used 2 wires from his insides but he was still bleeding like a human and his eyes don't glow?!
So many questions. I like it.
-
I'm becoming more convinced that the guy 'hunting' down the special group of synth's is more of an ally than enemy. I think the way they present him on the surface....him trying to catch and find them all....makes him appear like he's an enemy but I think when it's all said and done he wants to help them.
That blonde special synth is a psycho. Wow.
for a while there I thought that Anita was 'aware' of who/what she was but was just pretending not to be. It looks like now with that scene where she reached out for help for a few moments saying 'I'm here...help me' that she's buried just behind the "normal" synth programming.
There's no way that dad doesn't want to shag Anita now. Not after seeing her undress and naked.
-

:lol I love her more each week.

I thought that was the case as well, since there were several moments where she acted differently to average synths.
Since I'm ahead a couple of episodes, I can't comment on the rest.
Can you blame the dad for wanting to bang Anita though? :zydar:
-
Yeah, like Blob I'm up to date now (episode 5). So, SPOILERS BELOW if you don't want them.
The show is really good so far, and each episode opens up interesting new stuff. I think the show is definitely moving towards that investigator (or whatever he is) being on the side of the sentient synths (he even claimed as much at one point), but his motivations definitely aren't clear. I don't think he burned the sentient synth they had with them though - and suspect he made it appear that way as it makes the body unrecognisable.
I really like Leo as a character. Great to see Colin Morgan doing a great job of moving away from his Merlin days as well!

Yup, for sure. They even said he didn't need to destroy it that badly, so he's definitely tucked it away. He worked with the creator of the sentient synths, so he's at least curious to know more, if not entirely sympathetic yet.
I'm also interested to see what the deal is with the synth cop's partner now that we know she's a synth.
I really like every character for what they are at this point. I think the acting is great all around.
-
MOAR SPOILERS N SHIT
I'm also interested to see what the deal is with the synth cop's partner now that we know she's a synth.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. Leo and others seem to keep mentioning 5 sentient synths, but I don't think that includes her? So there definitely seem to be more, and probably loads others too.

Some more than others, but yeah pretty much all the characterisation is good so far.

I assume that Leo is still considered as part of that 5, because that guy knows that Leo technically died and that there's something going on there (even though he knows he's still somewhat human). He may have determined as much as the viewer at this point.
I think the synth partner is an unknown to anyone else at this point, but I'm curious to know where she fits in. She may still be able to sub in for one of the sentient synths.
I like that Dr Millican is now involved with the main story. The conversation between Dr Millican and Niska was amusing.

We don't know for a fact that Leo ever actually died (i.e. and then was brought back as a synth) - could well be that Alster used sentient synth technology to keep Leo alive. But yet, I am also for now assuming that Leo is one of the 5.
I like that Dr Millican is now involved with the main story. The conversation between Dr Millican and Niska was amusing.
Same - I really like Dr Millican as a character and so him starting to interact with other main characters is a huge plus and makes the overall story feel more coherent. Definitely feels like it's starting to build up towards something.
-
I did not read your posts. I'm up to episode 3 so far. The replacement robot for Dr. George Millican seems a little evil. I thought they are supposed to obey the human's command. I too thought that Anita was aware but obviously she was reprogrammed. Interesting to see the older daughter knows a bit about the robots though she seems put off by them. I wonder why?

You're right. I should have said they know he supposedly died, and before that was braindead and on life support. The investigator now knows Leo probably didn't die as the records show, and I think he's put 2+2 together and figured Leo was saved using some of his father's tech. In the phone conversation they heard Leo say "it needs all of us to run it", which implies Leo is one of those needed to run the software.

Non spoilery response to king
Interesting to see the older daughter knows a bit about the robots though she seems put off by them. I wonder why?
I believe she's put off by them because she's a smart kid with a lot of potential, but has basically given up and become rebellious because the androids have replaced humans for a lot of the jobs she could have aspired to. So I think there's some bitterness there with the synths, which is why she likes trying to mess with them to put them in their place.

And....given how intelligent she is I could see her becoming an ally to the "special" synths as well....maybe even help Anita break through the programming holding her hostage.
-
Oh I agree, I wondering if she well help Anita and embrace technology or pull away from her since she has a bias towards the robots. It's interesting how the whole family is reacting to a robot.

Very good point, I'd forgotten that. Yeah, definitely must be including himself then.

The husband held out longer than I thought. :rollin and....wow, nice revelation about the Cop partner.

I was like WHAT THE HELL IS SHE PULLING OUT OF HER MOUTH?!?! Ohhh............
The latest episode (UK) was again probably the best yet. It answered some big questions, and was mostly a very positive episode up until the ending. I'm not crying, that's just something in my eye.....
-
this is a bummer that you guys are a couple episodes ahead because I'm sure its a pain waiting for King and I to catch up.

Yeah, but what can you do? There's not really enough interest for separate threads, and it would be confusing, and I certainly don't want to ruin anything for anybody!
I caught a couple of episodes of the original Real Humans the other night, and they were obviously from further ahead in the story. I don't know how much of it they'll retain or change if Humans continues, but it's interesting seeing the same characters and arcs.

Yeah, and we'll carry on signposting any spoilers in BIG CAPITAL LETTERS. At least it makes a change from most shows where here in the UK at least we're behind, sometimes by a few weeks or months (and in some cases things never seem to get picked up here).
-
Yeah...you guys have been fine with the SPOILER talk. I mean really...what is it...you, me King and Blob who've been talking this show? I think it's all good :tup
-
Oh man, episode 7 was so good. You seen it yet Blob?
Finale next week!

They didn't show it but I have a strong hunch that the guy that 'Blondie' asked who that was in the picture of the original team is that goatee dude that fake burned the synth.

Yep, I always watch it ASAP. Best show of the week!
Niska continues to be awesome. Pairing her up with the kid was more gold.
"Has your hair always been like that?"
"Has your face always been like that?"
:lol
They've pretty much revealed everything now, with how that other synth fits in, so I expect a big finale now that they've been caught.
The bit where Odi said "you are dead" was so innocently blunt that it kind of hit me. :(

Great minds, that was my favourite part of the episode. :lol It was quite intense in general, so Niska and Sophie together was some great light relief.

For not being sentient, Odi is a surprisingly great character for tugging on the heart strings!

Just started watching this show yesterday. I'm 2 episodes in.
Good stuff so far. I love William Hurt, and I can't wait to see where his story goes. His attachment to his android is interesting.
Anita is lovely.

Second Season confirmed.... :metal

-
I'm so happy. This is my favourite show of the year, and there are so many places it could go (I've seen bits of Real Humans to see where it could potentially go).
It will also be easier to enjoy the season final knowing that it won't leave any loose threads permanently hanging.
-
Saw episode 3 last night. Nice.
I will try to catch 4 & 5 today.
-
I've seen bits of Real Humans
Arms, legs.....kidneys or liver? Which bits?
-
I've seen some bits that I wish I could unsee.

-
Looks like Leo's dad didn't kill himself after all....or, before he did he created one last synth with feelings to round em' all up and exterminate them. (The chic cop?)
You'd think a super intelligent mind would know to charge itself? The 'only at 4% charge' reason for losing another brother was lazy Writing IMO.
-

Er, why? They do know how to charge themselves (although I don't know where you got the idea that they are supposed to be "super intelligent"), but being on the run and with all the shit going down, they weren't able to get the chance.

Just thinking they'd know how difficult it is to get the chance to charge. They were at that house for a while....grab a cord and fuel up man!! :lol And, knowing they are being pursued leaving the house with such a low amount of energy just doesn't seem very well thought out by a 'superior' mind.
-
I also thought that scene was a bit unlikely, but looking back it's not that bad.
When they first arrived they were busy trying to fix Anita/Mia, and then almost immediately they got the call from Fred. The plan was just to quickly accompany Leo to make sure he was safe on a short drive to pick up Fred, then return, where he could/would have charged.
And even though he was only at 4% charge, I figure that should have given him at least an hour left given that he was only sitting, so it was a calculated choice based on emotion that only went wrong when he ultimately had to perform unplanned physical activity. Had everything gone as planned, being at 4% wouldn't have been a problem for him at all.
He is a robot, but he was programmed to think like a human. The whole time it seems that emotion and family took priority over his own "wellbeing", caring for Mia and Leo.

Yeah...I guess you guys are right. He's shown himself to be very selfless thus far, that might have just been an extension of him thinking of others first. Also, I found it very interesting his 'evolution' of consciousness to address God to care for those he loved as well. Then, ultimately sacrifice himself for Leo's safety.
-
Well, I spent a good part of my weekend watching this show and I was pleasantly surprised by it. As king said, the actors going from robot to human is very well accomplished and one of my favorite things about all this.
-
Just caught the last two episodes. So much for William Hurt's character :lol it was a good minor role and I thought they did a good job with his synth there by him at the end detailing an old story for him as he died.
They rounded that season out to a point where who knows where they take it next year? All in all a good show...neat premise, have to wait to see what happens next season.

Having seen quite a few episodes of the show it's based on, Real Humans, there are lots of places they could potentially go. Since the show isn't sticking to the exact same story, I consider this spoiler safe, but here are some of the story arcs I've seen-
Using the sentient synth code to start the feared robot revolution
Sentient synths fighting for human rights
Synth virus causing the synths to go crazy, including the sentient ones
Uploading oneself to a synth to remain alive
Although I haven't seen the early episodes of Real Humans, Humans appears to have dialed back the more techy stuff, so they may not do any of this at all, or they may adapt some of it.
-

Truthfully.....any of those could be real interesting. Especially the 'uploading oneself to remain alive'. That'd seem like it'd be a 'human' interest....or, natural avenue humans would explore to live forever. Very neat stuff.

Finally finished the season. Fantastic show. Great concept, and outstanding acting.

Left me with lots of questions and wanting more. Great 1st season.

So, Humans is back. The US doesn't get it till next year though, which is a little silly.
I did a rewatch of the first season before the new episode, although I apparently remembered it quite well, and enjoyed it just as much. It was even more refreshing after recently watching another show fail miserably at robot AI storylines..... Anyway....
New episode was really good. I love how they've broadened the scope of the show, while not ignoring what happened last season. I wasn't expecting them to release the synth code right away, and it was interesting seeing the synths' reactions to sudden consciousness. Carrie Ann Moss' character is a good addition to the show so far. I can't wait to see how that storyline progresses with douchey businessman. Still some characters from last season that we didn't see this episode, so there may still be more happening too.
-
I've been wondering when it would be back.
-

Is it early 2017....do you know? I really like this show.

Not too far off.

Not too far off.
Yeah....that's not too long a wait. That'll be right around the time 'Taboo' comes out on FX. that looks real good.
-
Not too far away, but it's relatively far behind the UK (and Oz), which makes a discussion thread even more of a pain than it was last season when it was a couple of weeks difference. Also, I don't think the show did amazingly in the US, and not having any episodes air in 2016 is not great for picking up any momentum. This show deserves more viewers!
-
Agreed. I loved the first season.
-
Is anyone else up to date with this? Either way, possibly spoilers ahead.
A lot of interesting things going on.
I'm glad Odi is back and is with the family. He was one of my favourite characters from the first season. Endearing in a dumb robot kind of way.
Hester is a loose cannon. I hope she goes on a killing spree. :lol It's interesting seeing these newly conscious synths trying to understand the world and develop a sense of morality.
I'm curious about how the court case with Niska will go. There was a court case in the original Real Humans too, although a little different.
The plot with people pretending to be synths is also one I recognize from Real Humans. They had synth parties and everything!
Mia/Anita is apparently crap at pretending to be a robot. SHE CARES TOO MUCH.

Just finished season 2, America is a tad behind on release. Man, Hester was a psycho! Knew it early on but she only got worse and worse. Glad to see her get what was coming to her in the end.
I don't see how Leo is repairable. But, who knows.
That storyline of 'v' and the program of her kid was a bit heartbreaking and neat all at the same time. Raises an interesting question as to how you'd interpret life? That 'consciousness' can seemingly live forever, or as long as there's humanity around to keep a network in place yet it'll never truly live. I'm curious as to if that's the last we will see if that entity?
The ending sequence was straight out of a zombie movie, pure chaos. Can't wait to see where the show goes from there.
-
Yeah, just a tad behind. :neverusethis:
I really hope the show gets renewed, because I want to see where they'll go from that ending!

Saw that this was renewed for Season Three :metal
-
Yeah, I saw the FB page mention it on April 1 and assumed it was an April Fools Day joke, but was pleasantly surprised to find out it was legit. I'd like them to do more seasons after that, but I don't think the ratings are very good.
-
I'm so late to the party! I finished watching season 2 a month or two ago.
I'm not sure where they're gonna go from here, having all the synths go conscious at ones looked to me lime it was going to end the series because it seems like a titanic thing to process.
That bitch Hester got what she deserved, I think she was way to belligerent and caused too many problems just to give the writers conflicts to develop the series and while I understand that her background somewhat justifies her behavior I still think it's a bit extreme.
As Drake said, all the v story is incredibly heartbreaking but it's also very interesting for the future because I think she will have a huge part in the human-synth relationship going forward.
-
Season 3 aired last night, anyone catch it? It appears this show is taking a pretty dark turn and stark look at sterotypes.....mob rule....etc etc.....
-
Third episode has aired for the UK (and thus me :P ). This season is definitely all about the racism allegory. I like how the storyline with Karen and her synth kid is progressing so far too (not too much of that in the first episode).
-
Yeah really good season so far. They've gone a bit overboard with the abuse that humans immediately and relentlessly give synths, which I think makes it feel a bit less believable, but otherwise the narrative is really interesting so far.

It does go a bit extreme, but I can mostly accept it due to the high number of accidental deaths that occurred when they became sentient that has been spun into propaganda, and the amount of time that's passed for people to have been swayed a certain way.

yeah, I'm looking forward to that story line. She's a fascinating character

Just finished the season up. Wow. That really took a turn the last few episodes. I was hoping Mia wasn’t going to die but saw it coming. It’s set up to be an interesting next season for sure.

There's a season 3? I thought this had ended at 2. Why the hell would you spoil the ending without warning!!!!!?????

I was assuming there was a season four coming ....I hadn’t heard that it was cancelled?
And, sorry about the spoil....I really am. I didn’t really think about going small font being that most of the guys talking about the show in here were weeks/months ahead of American viewing. If it makes you feel better that’s the least, most insignificant ‘spoil’ of season three. A bunch of cool stuff happens.

It hasn't been cancelled, pretty sure he just meant the ending of the season.

Don't my word on that, but I remember when season 2 ended there was discussion whether there would be a season 3 or not since at the time it hadn't been announced. Anyways, I'll have to find time to watch this one as I find it to be an interesting take on the whole what being a human means.
