Humans

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Has anyone else started watching this show? I wasn't expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised to find a well-acted, well-written show with an interesting premise that thoughtfully explores all of the ethical and philosophical questions raised.

YES!!! It was a bit slow to get going but it is pretty storming good. Pretty evocative and definitely makes you think a bit more. Got my blood riled riled up in a few parts. Hope it gets a second series

What is it about?

What is it about?

Human-like robots, or "synthetics," as they're commonly known, have become basically a servant class in near-future Britain. Since they don't feel pain or emotions, they have no rights, yet fulfill many essential jobs. However, there are a handful who do feel emotions and have gained sentience. The show is about what happens to them, and all of the ugly ways a bunch of human-like robots with no rights would change society.

So basically, Bladerunner?

I haven't seen that movie, but from all I've heard, there are a good many similarities.

As in the AI arcs it's similar but it's set basically in our time so no cool Sci Fi/Future Tech stuff going on. It comes on AMC Sunday nights. You can watch it free at their site

Yea I would. It's been really good the past few episodes now that's it kicked off. Ep 1 is very slow and confusing. 2 picks up but it's not really till 3 till the hook is set.
