Almost Human (2013)

Almost Human (2013) — Action / Crime / Drama Set in 2048, Almost Human follows troubled cop John Kennex, a survivor of a devastating attack who wakes from a 17‑month coma with a prosthetic leg, gaps in his memory, and deep emotional scars. By mandate, police officers must be paired with android partners; Kennex, who deeply mistrusts machines, is eventually assigned Dorian, a discontinued DRN model with unexpectedly humanlike emotional responses. Where other androids are sterile and efficient, Dorian’s “flaws” — curiosity, empathy, dry humor — create an uneasy but powerful bond with Kennex. Together they tackle gritty, action‑heavy investigations while the mystery of the attack that changed Kennex’s life slowly unravels. If you watch Almost Human you’ll get a mix of weekly police procedural cases and a serialized, character‑driven arc. Expect high‑energy action sequences, futuristic tech and cityscapes, tense shootouts, and inventive sci‑fi gadgets alongside quieter, emotional scenes exploring PTSD, identity, and what it means to be human. The show balances suspense and crime drama with thoughtful questions about artificial intelligence, loyalty, and friendship — often grounded by strong performances and the odd, poignant moment between man and machine. Fans of smart, visually stylish sci‑fi cop dramas with both thrills and heart will find this series engaging.
