Almost Human (2013–2014)
3/10
Almost CSI in the future
28 January 2014
Put two cops, one human and one android, and let them solve crimes in technology heavy future. Let them be Karl Urban and Michael Ealy and you've got fan. Well if it only was that easy.

Don't get me wrong, this is more of an action-oriented show than a detective show. This show has a good premise and in theory they have many venues to explore, but so far the main plot (which is clichéd) has been non existent except for in the first episode. Perhaps a loosely serialized cop show is your cop of tea, but not mine.

The actors don't have a lot to work with and their dialogs seem forced. After 10 or so episodes they still act as two teenage brats who fight about who gets to drive the car.

The crimes they solve and the technology they show is sometimes interesting and inspiring (future bank robbers take notes). But after a few episode I'd rather read a tech news paper or a Discovery channel documentary. The Black Mirror Scifi show does a much better job at exploring this subject.

Anyway, they promised a lot in the first episode, but I'm here to warn you that the show you're waiting for is not coming.
