SpaceChampion Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 Nice first episode. Spoiler I thought they'd go that way in the first season, Laura being a lawyer. That always felt like a gun left on the mantelpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, if they'd done this plotline in season 1 it would probably have been Anita being the object of the case. It's also a handy way to continue to include the family in the storyline, otherwise it might have been difficult to really connect them to the main plotline.

WinterKing Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I really like this series, it is entertaining and raises the interesting questions about ethics, morals and conscience/self-awareness at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's great. It could do with a bit more focus on the economics of the situation, though. With so many people being made redundant by Synthetics, who can still afford to buy anything? I'd guess there'd need to be really generous unemployment benefits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedGhost Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Oh that ending! Sneaky, duplicitous bastard! And Max taking off on his own... Such a good season so far.

Maybe the price of goods has actually gone down because they're so much cheaper to produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 It's sort of clumsy the way they try to shoehorn in all these ethical issues (transgenderism, automation, AI consciousness) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The analogy is a bit of a stretch, I think. On 23/11/2016 at 5:59 PM, RedEyedGhost said: That's the entire point of the show, and you think they're shoehorning it in? Yeah, ethical issues are what makes it interesting. Automation is the central premise of the show, and the consciousness stuff provides an actual plot.

Ser Quork Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just watched season 2 on catch up. Very enjoyable season. If it's renewed: Spoiler it's plot will really widen as all the synths have consciousness. Not to mention the sub-plot of transferring consciousness either way. (Leo, perchance.) I really felt for Pete and Karen, and for Athena finally letting go of her daughter. And what will happen to poor Odi, getting rid of his consciousness only for it to come back? It'll be interesting to see. I hope it gets another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawkcabi Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just got around to watching season 2 on AMC On Demand this week. I forgot how much I loved this show. I'm on S2E4 and thoroughly enjoying myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ashes Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I may be the only one but this show connects with me in a way than Westworld ever did. Largely because the Hawkins family whom I've grown fond of ( with the sometimes exception of Joe). Westworld has too many human douches as its primary, secondary, and background characters that I just don't really give a fuck about it. I actually like Humans' sociopath synth, Hester than any of them. Anyway, I hope Humans get a third season. Even though the Season 2 finale would actually end the series on a good note (despite a few dangling plotlines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westworld has a vast scope, but Humans feels very much more intimate. I very much hope we'll get a third series too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I enjoy Westworld a lot but I agree none of the characters are interesting enough on their own. I was skeptical after the first episode. It was the gradually unfolding philosophical foundations that makes it interesting. My Tyrion Lannister test is: is any of these characters half as interesting as Tyrion? Westworld failed that at first. Humans passes it though. These characters were interesting and inspired empathy from the start. It's a different sort of show, out to do different sorts of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felice Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I haven't gotten round to watching Westworld yet, but I'll be very surprised if it's as good as Humans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJ Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 They are very different. In some ways Westworld is better. In others Humans is. Westworld: The mystery and revelations. The big moments. (Some of the acting is phenomenal too - not that there's anything wrong with the acting in Humans) Humans: Characters we genuinely care about - both human and synthetic, Oh... and Gemma Chan (apologies for being so very superficial ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Renewed for third season. Seems like viewing numbers were down in the UK, but in the US the later showing brought it attention favorably comparing it to Westworld, and boosted its numbers.
