An excellent show that seems to be growing in the right direction.
4 February 2014 | by See all my reviews

Almost Human feels like a plausible future. It's classy, clean and yet, very similar to what we know. Now, what is truly great about the show is the scope. The focus is set on a weekly story that sometimes hints to a bigger arc while carefully presenting us a new avenue of this futurist world. The foundation of the show doesn't break any new ground. Instead, it simply grows on it's strength and quickly discard the weaknesses. Each week, the acting is better, more relaxed and natural. Special Effects are kept to a minimum but when it's time to go all out, it looks fantastic.

The chemistry between Urban and Ealy is really good. Some may call it a bromance, I simply call it, well played. It has heart but doesn't fall into the cheesy or theatrical. To me, Urban never really disappoints. There's a certain beauty that comes out from properly dosing each aspect of your characters. This intricate sense of balance can be felt throughout the entire show. The action is tight, explosive and exciting but condensed and controlled. Yes, there is a certain level of violence but gore itself is kept only for crucial impact. Down times are often layered by a gentle touch of comedy and romance.

Overall, a really good show that presents an incredible cast of actors with a solid foundation at it's core. To me, this is the closest we will ever get to Ghost In The Shell with live actors.
