With award-winning shows like Dexter and Breaking Bad
wrapping up their final seasons, frequent TV viewers will be finding holes in
their schedules that need to be filled. The question is, what has the potential
to fill it?
Almost Human might
be that show.
Brought to you by J.J. Abrams, co-creator and executive
producer of hit shows Alias (2001), Lost (2004), and Fringe (2008), comes a gritty cop drama that is anything but
ordinary. Abrams isn’t the only recognizable name on this project, however.
Karl Urban, who played Bones in the two latest Star Trek films (directed by Abrams), plays the leading man and
Michael Ealy, from Think Like a Man,
plays opposite Urban.
Almost Human is
set in the near future and revolves around a head-butting partnership with a
twist. John Kennex is a detective that has returned to duty after a two-year
coma, with a bad temper and an unorthodox way of doing things. What makes this
show different from every other cop show currently airing is that the partner
he is assigned to isn’t human. In fact, he’s technically not alive. Dorian is
an out of commission android who is reactivated specifically to be Kennex’s partner.
The show will follow the pair as they battle against high-tech futuristic
crimes, while simultaneously trying to cope with their differences and
understand their similarities in order to succeed and more importantly, stay
alive.
The two night series premiere is Sunday, Nov. 17 and Monday, Nov. 18 on FOX.

I'm also a huge fan of Dexter, and need to find something to fill the hole where it used to be. Hopefully, this could be it. I once did a play where soap opera and tv actors were replaced by androids and one of them developed a more complex personality. It seems interesting!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting show! I'm curious to see how they develop the personality of someone who's "technically not alive" and add that to the plot, along with high-tech crimes.
