pretty good show. I really like Karl Urban. It was very robo/terminator like except their androids arent as strong or scary as terminators.

Really hoping this gets a second season; they never told us what's on the other side of that dang wall! Additionally, I am already missing the banter between Kennex and Dorian, so cute!

I hope theyīll bring us a second season, I think this show itīs good. Good plots, fx and THANK GOD some humor, buddy movie style. Itīs great to watch something that doesnīt take itself the most serious thing on Earth.
Iīll get it on DVD when itīll be available, for sure.

I'm enjoying it but I felt the show was disjointed when it cam to character relationships.
It turned out the episodes were being aired out of order. If you find the correct episode order on the net then it becomes an even better show.

Yep. I think that problem would be solved on the DVD edition.

My missus told me about this earlier today.
I'm not happy. What is it with Karl Urban, great shows/films and their lack of second season/sequel?

I think this is less on Urban and more on FOX in this case - They still have a bad semi-habit of cancelling most of the decent shows they get either right when they might be something or even before they get that chance.. Been that way for about a dozen-or-so-years now.
I had intended to wait for the full season and watch up the whole thing in order. I caught some of it at the start and it seemed promising. But then I heard they started airing shit out of order and then I immediately thought it was the Firefly syndrome all over again. Rushed into it, or didn't care about it, or maybe both, even.. Plus it didn't seem like they promoted it that well, which always hurts..
Basically, seems like they wanted it to fail, or at least didn't care for it to really succeed, either way, just sucks. And then when it tanks, they can always prattle the good ol' "they didn't get the ratings" song. :roll:
I'm gonna quote something that Andy Richter said a few years back (right after Conan got screwed out of the Tonight Show) that I think fits this deal perfectly. Another one of those 'sad but true' moments. You may remember Richter himself had a show (also on FOX, surprisingly) that also got canned, and right bout the time it was getting in-gear I thought. And this in addition to of course Firefly, Dark Angel.. Seems they especially have something against sci-fi stuff.. Bah. Anyway, the quote -
Andy Richter on Regis & Kelly, March 2010 : | The thing about network television is, if they like a show, if there's extenuating circumstances, they'll say "Well, you have to think about the extenuating circumstances" ... But if they don't like a show, they'll say "Well, they couldn't get the ratings." |
Quote's from this clip - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKlYNW31HhE, right about 5:36. _________________ I don't wanna pay that, PhotoBucket. Now maybe you haven't heard, but I'm the guy in old Archive. So hows about you just shit snow for a year and I'll figure out something else. Sayonara!

Yes, bad luck. Some people started a group on Facebook about Bringing back Almost Human. So Urban gets support from "Dredd" fans in this as well.
I hope theyīll do a decent DVD edition of this show, with the real order and extras.

It's high on the robocop references, I take it.
It never interested me one bit. It looked like cringeworthy, boring, crap, to me.
I did'nt care it got cancelled.
It'll probabely turn up on freeview in 2 years or more time.

There are elements of the ordinary, but the characters and world are what make it.

Ok, it wasnīt the most original show on Earth, but the FX were nice and didnīt look cheap, it has interesting plots and (luckily) it wasnīt 100% serious, so characters would have a sense of humour (something a lot of movies and series doesnīt have). And the little homages here and there were great. It was some kind of cop show mixed with the "buddy movie" routine, and worked pretty well. Things like the "ballsī scan" were hillarious.
I hope itīll come on a nice DVD edition soon.
