Fox's newest fall drama Almost Human finally premiered tonight, introducing viewers to J.J. Abrams' latest addition in his plan to single-handedly take over the entertainment world. Starring Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, and Minka Kelly, Almost Human
is a series set thirty-five years in the future when humans in the Los
Angeles Police Department are paired up with lifelike androids. (Think Robocop, but with a lot less armor, and a lot more heart.)
We're intrigued to know your thoughts on Abrams' newest venture into the sci-fi sanctum. Did Almost Human leave you in awe or was it just plan awful? That is the question we're asking you in our latest Save It or Sink It poll...
Almost a hit, or almost a miss?
The future doesn’t look good. The streets are awash in drugs and weapons
supplied by an elusive but ruthlessly efficient criminal organisation with
corporate ties. The crime rate has ballooned by 400%. The police are
undermanned to the extent they need to turn to technology for help. Enter
the advanced combat model android. That’s the set-up for Robocop, the 1987
Paul Verhoeven film
whose widely un-anticipated reboot appears early next year. By an amazing
coincidence, it’s also the foundation on which Almost Human, the new
man-and-machine buddy cop TV
series from JJ Abrams’ genre assembly line, is built.
