Does anybody feels it like a Blade Runner prequel? Specially after that huge easter egg in first episode? Would we witness how Dorian become the first rebel replicant?
Although looks interesting, I kinda disappointed since seems to be another police drama tv show. I was expecting a truly sci-fi series not a futuristic Law & Order. Thoughts?

I saw the first episode so far.

I thought it idiotic that they'd just discard Dorian's model in favor of one that is arguably dumber (less intuitive) rather than just try to find ways (either in the making or through conditioning) to stabilize it.

Otherwise, it seems like a decent cop buddies series with an added prejudice/racism narrative wrapped under a sci-fi guise. I think they could probably make it more clever (found the approach a tad lazy so far), but it has good production value. It's not awkward like some of the sci-fi series that gives you facepalm moments with the dialogue.

I'll definitely watch a couple more episodes to makeup my mind about it.

I had an opportunity to meet Karl Urban at Fan Expo and watch the "promo" version of the pilot which had some added scenes (as I didn't watch the TV airing of it I'm not sure what was taken out), and found it to be very clever and more of a nod to Blade Runner rather than a prequel. While I think with time the show's writing and plot work will improve, I found it rather well done.

I think that the move for the less intuitive simulates makes a lot of sense. Not in a common sense meaning, but in that many groups (either government or businesses) will move to an inferior product when a better one may seem not worth the effort to repair or update. While I would like to see a bit more Sci-Fi themes introduced into the show, with what it's trying to do I think it makes sense to have technology more advanced but not to the point of being alienating it's "close to possible future" atmosphere/world.

I do hope it doesn't degenerate into policecopsprocedure50 2099, but so far the writing has seemed to be slow and steady which gives me hope for future seasons to be really worth watching. With any first season of a show, more often than not it's a little shaky and needs some time to evolve into what it eventually becomes. At least that is my view on the show and the direction it hopefully goes in the future. (:P sorry about the pun, I couldn't resist)

I found it far better than expected. In particular the 'technological scifi gizmo' are somewhat plausible (minor spoilers : for instance the DNA remover grenade and the digital mask .... even if the presentation is a bit exagerated/simplified, the idea itself is really good/plausible) , which is something very lacking in other modern scifi shows/movies.

Yes, yes, its a good show so far, I just hope they don't emphasize too much the police aspect over the rest.
I also found some plot holes like the one when the goons decide to attack police station with so little forces and armament... why they don't use that police-killer-gas in ventilation system after deactivate all androids? The previous ingenious way to enter inside police quarter (using that guy to be intentionally arrested), its completely invalidated with such poor execution.

Karl Urban hit his peak with Priest which actually wasn't that good but he was a bad MFer in it..

EDIT, okay he didn't hit his peak and the new show is good, I just like to talk about that part because it was so much fun to watch. :D

From now on he IS Judge Dredd for me.

I like Priest. A good scifi action B film. Certainly above average in that category.

I love it. Best new series of this season, IMO.

Yes, it is a procedural at the moment, but I'm confident that will change. 2nd Season is almost always better than the first one, and Fringe was actually created to be extremely procedural, only to turn into one of the most serialized series ever - something I'm confident will happen with Almost Human as well.

I like how it's more of the clean I Robot sci-fi instead of the usual cyberpunk grime sci-fi.
But yes, it is going a bit cop show with added gadgets at the moment.
I am hoping they give it more time than say Firefly to develop, I think it could be quite interesting.
As it is now I'm still enjoying it and I hope they'll tweak the formula a bit.

Am I crazy or do "good" (yes that's subjective) sci-fi shows not stand a chance on the major networks? The really good ones need time to develop a fan base and that's why the good ones that have flourished have seemingly only done it on the 'lesser' networks. I may be totally wrong but I think of shows like Farscape and Stargate which flourished thanks to the Sci-Fi network. Going back, X-Files never would have gone beyond one season had it not been on the new and fledgling FOX network where it was given time to flourish. It seems if a good show doesn't pull in the numbers that a piece of shit like "Two Broke Girls" gets then they immediately chuck it.

I'm still suspicious that it'll be too similar to the TV show Total Recall yearsomething so I'll wait for reviews of a full season before I watch it. I liked that show so I want Almost Human to not feel as a ripoff or something.

But it's certainly on my radar and I hope for the best. I need a new good TV show to watch. :)

Unfortunately Fox is no longer the same network it was when it had X-Files. Now it's a major player and will opt for numbers over quality 99% of the time. I really can't complain because I love crap, I just hope it doesn't discourage the good writers and producers sticking with writing and producing the good shows.

Small genre fan base compared to drama etc standard shows. Scifi shows needs to run for a while to get their bearings and catch viewers that usually doesn't bother with the genre before they get interesting for major networks. Even then they are usually too expensive to produce for them. Smaller margin for profits.

In short they draw a too small number of initial viewers for the major networks to bother with them.

I WANT to get into the show but it's not pulling me in like I thought it might. Maybe I need to re-watch the episodes.
