Almost Human Season 1 Episodes
Season 1 Episode Guide
13 Episodes 2013 - 2014
"Fringe" producer J.H. Wyman created this sci-fi crime drama set in the year 2048, when John Kennex (Karl Urban), a veteran Los Angeles detective with mental and physical baggage, returns to the force, but struggles to adjust to the mandate that requires human officers to be paired with robots. Fortunately for Kennex's psyche—not to mention his well-being—he's eventually partnered with one called Dorian (Michael Ealy), an older model of android that's capable of expressing emotions, which will make all the difference in the world as they depend on each other to battle terrorists, drug rings and cyber-criminals in all corners of the city. Series regulars include Minka Kelly, Mackenzie Crook, Michael Irby and Lili Taylor, and John Larroquette guest stars as a brilliant but slightly off-kilter roboticist.
