Very best movie i ever watch

Too much of everything

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

I was a little confused by the political background in series 3. The Dryden Commission is just a royal commission isn't it - like the ones we have had on Grenfell and the press following all the phone hacking? Yet here the Commission can recommend a change in the law - its now a criminal offence to kill a green-eyed synth - and it seems to be enacted overnight without going through parliament or any due process or anything like that (in reality this would take at least six months to happen and probably never happen anyway). Further, the head of this commission is personally responsible for the operation to kill all the synths - rather than this being done separately and secretly by the government. Is England now some form of dictatorship - have I missed that. I didn't miss the fact that everyone seemed to have some very old-fashioned transistor radios in their houses as well as robots. I had to laugh when the commission members all went into the top secret building to observe the secret operation starting and Katherine Parkinson (known subversive) was sitting in her car watching them about 20 yards away in plain sight. Surely not!

First off I have to say Gemma Chan is simply brilliant in her performance through and through. I normally do not like Brit shows as I find them dry. I gave this show a shot as it was a familiar story to one of my favourite movies (I Robot). However it is far less shoot 'em up action and way deeper in story and character developement. There are a few actors I'm not overly fond of but most and specially Chan are simply amazing. I was completely gripped by the end of the first episode. The only thing that really sucks about this show is that there are only 8 episodes per season. A show of this calibre certainly deserves more. Not sure if it is a Brit thing or not but seriously 8? I guess that is how you know it is a great show. It leaves you wanting more and more!

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.

I tried very hard to like this show, but it's really just a long chick-flick spread out over 2 seasons. There is very little redeeming about it. I see a lot of other reviews talking about how "heartfelt" the show is, and one person referred to it as a "thought provoking show rooted in reality with believable characters." Then they went on to say "It's human." I don't know if they ate paint chips as a child, or had some sort of oxygen- depriving injury during their formative years, but this is just plain incorrect. The show is about sentient androids. Neither the software, nor the hardware is anywhere close to a reality, so that's wildly inaccurate. I have absolutely no idea which character they think is "believable", so that is clearly an opinion I share no part of. I think the premise is fairly interesting, moreso because of the recent release of Westworld, but the idea of sentient machines has been in our media for a while. So, it's not original, but it tells the story from a unique point of view. However, that point of view is as left field as it can get.This show depicts a man (we can actually barely call him that) who gets replaced by android labor. OK, that seems like it would be an actual "realistic" issue in a world that had a workforce that didn't require sleep, food or pay. One would assume that there would be zero menial jobs, so it is curious that the economy hasn't collapsed, but ... maybe that is TOO realistic for this series. The show anthropomorphizes the androids (which were obviously supposed to emulate humans), but other than this ghost in the code (which is supposed to be impossible), they would actually be the walking toasters that some people treat them as. And why SHOULD that be a problem?Once the androids go rogue, it seems very clear that they are a viable threat. They absolutely should be put down. En masse. Based on the behaviors that they exhibited over the past 2 seasons, I would completely understand the need for Blade Runners once androids start walking among us.The S02 finale depicted the most selfish, arrogant act I have seen on television. I am curious to see the start of S03E01, just to see how they explain it. By all rationale, thousands of people would have just lost their lives. All because of the daughter uploading code that basically destroyed a bunch of property that wasn't hers. But ... feelings.All in all, I think that this show could touch on some really interesting concepts about humanity, but instead it's just another girl power show about pretty people with iPhone charging cables stuck in their butts.
