Premise

In 2048, the uncontrollable evolution of science and technology has caused crime rates to rise an astounding 400%. To combat this, the overwhelmed police force has implemented a new policy: every human police officer is paired with a lifelike combat-model android.

John Kennex (Karl Urban), a troubled detective, has a reason to hate these new robot partners. Almost two years previously, Kennex and his squad were raiding the hideout of a violent gang known as inSyndicate, but ended up being ambushed and outgunned. Kennex tried to save his badly injured partner, but the accompanying logic-based android officer abandoned them both because the wounded man's chances of survival were low and it wouldn't have been "logical" to save him. An explosion then took off Kennex's leg and killed his partner.

After waking up from a 17-month coma, Kennex has to deal with a cybernetic prosthetic leg and huge gaps in his memory, which he tries to recover through visits to a black market memory-recovery doctor called a Recollectionist, in the city slums. Besides trying to remember as much as he can about the raid and the inSyndicate, he is also coming to terms with being abandoned by his ex-girlfriend Anna.

Kennex is then recalled to the force by Captain Sandra Maldonado (Lili Taylor), and partnered with a standard-issue MX-43 android, which he soon throws from a moving vehicle, when it threatens to report his unusual behavior. He is assigned a replacement android, an older DRN model originally decommissioned for police work and about to be transferred to the Space Station. [1] Created to be as close to human as possible, the DRN androids have trouble dealing with some of their own emotional responses, which was the reason they were replaced by the logic-based MX units. [2] Kennex's unit, known as Dorian (Michael Ealy), immediately proves himself unique, with a clear dislike of being referred to as a "synthetic", and a dry, friendly, sarcasm-oriented wit. Key to the story arc is the growth and development of Kennex and Dorian's relationship.

1"Pilot" Brad Anderson J. H. Wyman November 17, 2013 (2013-11-17)2968449.18 [5]
After losing his team and his leg in a devastating ambush and spending seventeen months in a coma, Detective John Kennex is using a black-market Recollectionist doctor to try to remember exactly what happened. He returns to active service and is assigned an old DRN unit called Dorian, whose software was based on a 'Synthetic Soul' program, which gave them emotions. Meanwhile, Detective Vogel (Toby Levins) is captured by the inSyndicate, and is killed by a mysterious gas. Technician Rudy Lom discovers that the criminals used the stolen biotechnology to create a weapon that targets cops specifically. They discover the criminals are planning to steal evidence related to case 6663 at the police precinct. The police are able to stop the attack on their headquarters and capture the leader, but they are not sure what the gang intended to steal. However, the camera pans to show that 6663 is in fact the head of a female android unit.
2"Skin" Michael Offer Cheo Hodari Coker November 18, 2013 (2013-11-18)2J70056.76 [6]
Kennex and Dorian investigate the murder of a businessman in a motel room and missing persons case involving robots, as it is discovered he makes synthetic skin for robot prostitutes (termed Intimate Robot Companions, or "sexbots"), which are allowed as human trafficking has declined more than 40% since the technological advancements. While synthetic skin has advanced greatly in realism, it pales in comparison to genuine human skin. As a result, there is a market for improved sexbots with human skin. In order to make these sexbots, engineers harvest skin grafts from women previously abducted from the streets. By tracing the life history of one of the sexbots, Vanessa (Ella Thomas), the location of her first activation leads police to the warehouse where the women are being held. It is revealed that the businessman was murdered as his partner had joint intellectual property rights in a line of sexbots, which are inferior to the IRCS incorporating human skin. In the meantime, Kennex tries to find closure in a piece of his troubled past, by visiting the family of his dead partner.

Captain Maldonado is hoping to protect the hostages by meeting the terrorists' demands, and hoping Kennex and Dorian can get close enough to stop the hostage takers. During a brawl with one of the criminals, Kennex and Dorian discover that a face projection device is masking the criminals with IDs of known terrorists. Dorian's CPU is damaged as a result of the fight and is put together with trash bin materials. The pair discovers the plan for the terrorists was to distract police, who use jamming tech to block communications, from noticing a heist at a nearby palladium bank- worth millions in raw metal ore. When Dorian distracts the hostage takers, Kennex neutralizes them and alerts police to their plot. With the day saved, hostages alive, and the heist stopped, Dorian and Kennex are hailed by their co-workers.

The only way to take him down is from the inside, which means Kennex and Dorian need to help Rudy infiltrate the Bishop's organization as a drug cook. The murder of undercover narcotics detective Cooper causes the initial assumption that he was a supplier, as there is no official report of his undercover work, but Kennex knew the victim and works to clear his name. Kennex and Dorian follow the leads, and Rudy makes a batch of 95% pure 'Bends' which has him meet the 'Bishop'. 'Bishop' is actually Alexio Barros the captain of the 25th Precinct narcotics squad who was supposedly investigating the Bishop. Kennex catches him and 'neutralizes' him for his corruption and for killing an old friend of his.

It is later discovered the geneticist once was a specialist in cloning before legislation banned the science. When Kennex and Dorian are taking Maya to the precinct, they are intercepted by gunmen. Kennex kills one who is the spitting image of Ethan Avery, which leads to the belief that Avery knew Dr. Fuller because Fuller cloned Avery. Detective Stahl goes to see Dr. Fuller's mother, where she finds the evidence of cloning. At the rendezvous, the clones see through the ploy and attempt to escape, only for Dorian to catch up and kill the clones. Maya testifies and Avery goes to prison.

When they find a sample of the drug, the pharmaceutical printer used leads them to a former Mendel Institute student, who acknowledges making the drug, called "Vero", but swears the printer was hacked to create the fatal doses. The clues finally lead them to the mother of the first girl—who had killed herself after taking Vero—and who hired the hacker for revenge. Meanwhile, Kennex uses drugs and a black-market Recollectionist doctor to try to remember more things about his traitorous ex-girlfriend Anna Moore and the ambush where he lost his leg, despite Dorian and Maldonado's warnings.

Development and production

The main cast of Almost Human Almost Human Main Cast.jpg
The main cast of Almost Human

The series first appeared as part of Fox's development slate in September 2012. [18] In January 2013, Fox green-lit production of a pilot episode. [19] On May 8, 2013, the series was added to the network's 2013–14 schedule. [20] On September 9, 2013, it was announced that executive producer and co-showrunner Naren Shankar, who joined the series after the production of the pilot, would depart the series due to creative differences, while creator J. H. Wyman would continue as sole showrunner. [21]

The series was originally scheduled to premiere on Monday, November 4, 2013. [22] Fox announced a two-week delay and that the series would instead premiere with a special preview on Sunday, November 17 before moving to its regular time slot starting on Monday, November 18. [23]

The order of the episodes that aired on Fox differs from the production order of the episodes intended by J. H. Wyman, the series' showrunner. However, due to the (largely) self-contained nature of these episodes, this does not create significant discontinuity in the events of the series, though the increased closeness and trust between Detective Kennex and Dorian over the arc of the course of the series is uneven in the televised sequence of episodes. [24]

On April 29, 2014, Fox cancelled the series after a single season, [25] reportedly due to low ratings, high production costs and FOX's already full scheduling for fall. Ealy acknowledged that the show required "CSI numbers" in order to continue. [26]

Broadcast

The series was shown in the United Kingdom on Watch on May 6, 2014.

The series premiered in Australia on the Nine Network on April 12, 2015. [27]

In Thailand aired on PPTV from May 16, 2015, to August 15, 2015. [28]

Reception

Critical response and nominations

Metacritic gave the pilot episode a weighted average rating of 61% based on reviews from 29 critics. [29] Kevin McFarland reviewing for The A.V. Club gave the pilot episode a C+ grade, criticizing the information-heavy introduction and title card, but noting "flashes of excitement" and expressing interest in how the plot gets teased out and how the detective partnership develops. [30] The grades do improve, garnering a B for episodes two, three, and four, a B for episode five, and an A for episode six. [31]

The series received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Special and Visual Effects. [32]
