alanhurst Potentially good plot, spoiled by a desperately slow story and a surfeit of wearingly one-dimensional characters. Scientist creates sentient robots, human-like in many ways, including the capacity to hate and to be prepared to use violence to eliminate those unlike themselves. Will humans and these 'synths' be able to do something mankind has, on it's own, so far failed to do and come together, focus on their similarities rather than their differences, develop an understanding of what it means to be human, and formulate a meaningful future?Currently halfway through series three and, frankly, getting bit fed up waiting to see where this is going: plot development is like trying to swim in treacle, with pretty much every move in a meaningful direction frustrated by a contrived and often over-dramatised counter development involving the same old characters with the same old hate-filled motives - particularly wearing in the case of certain of the synths, whose ability to think logically never seems to extend to an appreciation that an eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind?Perhaps I do this series an injustice? Maybe I would be able to report on some believable and entertaining movement in the story if I just watched to the end of series three? Well, perhaps; I'm just not sure I can be bothered to.

Pete Brazier This is the best kind of Sci-Fi, doing what Sci-Fi was born to do - ask the deep questions about the nature of humanity, the questions that are too hard to ask in the context of a less fictional environment. The thing that makes Humans so chillingly compelling is that the reality it portrays is only the smallest step away from reality as we know it today. This linked with great script writing, great acting and a great score means that what could have been a preachy lecture on human morality, becomes a warm, fun, scary, compelling tale of lovable characters who have the capacity to transform your understanding of what it means to claim you are human.

facebook-596-720867 I don't get it. Why do English speaking audiences need inferior remakes of brilliant originals? This is exactly what "Humans" is - an inferior remake of an innovative, entertaining, thought-provoking Swedish original TV-show. It's subtitled in English, no need to remake it with weak actors. Go get your asses up and get yourself the Swedish original.

John Citizen What a great example of excellent sci fi. It has very believable actors,suspense,drama, and William Hurt, who is always brilliant. A very deep and layered show that deals very cleverly with the philosophy of what is the essence of being human and sentient. I can't praise this show enough. Even my wife was hooked after the first episode and that never happens !
