Thank you Ch4: Humans

Man, this is robot summer for me. First the amusingly bad Terminator: Retirement Home, then the awesome Ex Machina (cannot recommend that one enough, brilliant film). Now the 8 episode series Humans, in a time not too distant where Synths are abundant, helping us humans with our daily chores. Great program, very well done.

The moment of Singularity approaches....

I found it a bit on the slow side but apart from that the main story line was clever. While I was watching the final episode I was thinking this opens the door to another series which was announced as the closing credits rolled.

Hope its more darker and sinister when it returns next year.

Not had time to watch it yet but have it recorded.

Yeah, you're right, hopefully the next season will be

In the spirit of this thread, I saw The Machine (already saw Ex Machina), quite good soundtrack. The story may be a almost Blade Runner prequel...

Onkel Neal · 08-13-15, 12:25 PM

Thanks, Rhodes. I put The Machine down on my list. Robot Summer still has a month to go

Rhodes · 08-13-15, 01:09 PM

! I liked better than Ex Machina do to the soundtrack and being a British sci.fi, normally I do like British sci-fi better in some aspects.
Transcendence would be next in line, even if it's not robots.

Saw it today. Nasty little chamber drama, clean style, story leaves an impression. I remember that I heard of it when it was release din local movies here, but then had it falling off my radar again.

If you like these kinds of somewhat minimalistic settings with utopian flair, I also recommend "Moon".

Is this an American remake of a Swedish series form 4 or 5 years ago, "Real Humans", and Synths beinc called "Hubots"? That Swedish series I have seen, 10 episodes it were, I think. But I seem to find it difficult to get warm with Swedish TV series, although their crime films are so famous and apparently popular here in Germany. I do not get into liking them, however. I would be interested to see the same story - "Real Humans" - done by somebody else, so if that "Humans" series is a remake, I callibrate my scanners for it.

Humans is a CH4 and AMC joint adventure written by two British writers based on the Swedish series. Two seasons so far and a possible third to be confirmed, both seasons have been plodding leading up to a conclusion.

Hester makes Niska look like a tame bunny rabbit!

Oh heck next week is the end, how are they going to wrap this one up?

STEED · 12-23-16, 06:58 AM

Just got around to the final episode and oh my what a ending, the world is in for a shock!

Well over all season 2 was not as good as season 1 mainly from my view point too many minor storyline's over lapping the main storyline and one storyline about "Vee" never really got to the point. There is clearly a opening for a third season.

STEED · 05-21-18, 03:50 PM

Season 3 has started, just caught up on the first episode online. Its a year on after day zero code was released and the sims woke up, casualties on both sides and miss trust of the green eyed sims though the roof. There are new sims with orange eyes on the block and radical green eyed ones have just hit back.

I hope season 3 pans out to be better than season 2 was but only time will tell.
