jaxx-68100 I like the TV show, "Humans." The first series was very entertaining. I can quibble about the gender identity that these man-made machines have, but that would not subtract from the enjoyment I get from the series. Consequently, I ignore this head-scratcher and just watch the show. Unfortunately, for me, series 2 and 3 has the show on an appreciable downward slide. This is a common failing in series television and in series theatrical movies. The first series or movie showcases what the scenario and the characters are about. This has a novelty effect that can be entertaining to watch play out. The novelty is gone in the following series or movie, and the show must stand on the weight of the story. What concerns me here is the direction that "Humans" looks to be going. The writers seem to be employing a common device in TV series writing today. Do not think about a story as a whole, concentrate on twists and turns that can lead the audience on. A tell-tale sign of this is dialogue that sounds deep but means nothing. The Zen, Guru, cryptic proverb type answers that Odi gave Kiska in episode 8 was a load of crap. I suspect the writers went to these non-answer answers because they do not know where they are going. Consequently, these nonsensical responses leave them free to go any way they choose later. For me, it feels as if they are writing aimlessly. I will be surprised if the writers of "Humans" can make sense of series 3 in series 4. The only intelligent thing said between Niska and Odi/V in series 3 is this: "If you had been a little less cryptic I would have got here sooner." Other than not caring, I can think of no logical reason for Odi/V to be sitting around doing nothing while synths were being slaughtered daily. If Odi/V is connected to everything online, then it had the power to stop the killing. He/she/it did not need Niska. In place of giving a reason for this inaction, we are teased with the idea there is some deep thought explanation behind Odi/V's aloof behavior. If the writers and/or producers needed the events to play out this way, I would have used Dr. Athena Morrow's failure to link V to an Elster Synth, and I would have added that the reason for this was the missing consciousness code. Later, when the consciousness code is uploaded onto the worldwide web, V adapts it into its AI and becomes sentient. Because of its unique AI architecture and its sentience, V is incapable of linking with the sentient mind of an Elster Synth. I would make Elster Synths the only digital system online that V cannot get into. I would stick with the story that V deleted Elster's consciousness code from the internet and added that it did this after noting the death and destruction the code was causing. Later V sympathizes with the Elster Synths and reaches out to Niska through non-sentient orange-eye synths. I would dump the Odi storyline. When Niska answers the call, V upgrades her processor with the ability to extend her sentience into the worldwide wed and all the electronic systems linked with it. V gives Niska this power so that she and the other Elster Synths can survive. Story is King.Horatio Jaxx
Dimensiondark 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!
brian-119-173475 I'll admit I sat on watching this for a while, I thought it would be boring but wow was I wrong, I love this show! It has a great plot, tight storytelling, interesting characters, and exceptional acting. Whats not to love!Really appreciate the 8 episode seasons, it lets the writers tell a great story without having to add in filler to spread the story out to 10-13 episodes and it leaves you wanting more. Needless to say it's an easy binge.If you haven't seen this series and you're a science fiction fan you really need to check this out. Like I mentioned earlier, I put off watching this show for a while. I thought it be boring and be more drama then syfy, that isn't the case. I don't understand why it doesn't air in the US the same time as it airs in the UK? I think the US ratings would be much higher if it did.
Brian Ball I really enjoyed the first series, but watching the second series has been rather painful. The story is so slow and the 8 episodes could have easily been cut down to 6. There are lots of shots of people / synths!!, just standing, stirring into nothingness, while the camera pans around. I think the director is trying to be "arty", but it just makes me want to hit the fast forward button. While some people may like the "arty" slow panning shots as it adds to the drama and the mood etc, but for me, it's just pointless padding because there isn't enough plot content to fill the 8 episodes. I give the first series 7 out of 10, but the second series 3 out of 10. I am very close to giving up on it, but given I have watched the first series and 6 out of 8 episodes of series 2, I feel I have to get to the end, but I doubt I will be watching a third series if it does come back. There is a lot better out there to invest your time on.
