Alright so here is the episode 1 write along for Almost Human. I am a huge fan of cyberpunk so this show is right up my alley. You throw in JJ Abrams, Karl Urban and Michael Elay and you have my attention. Here my comments and jokes and then at the end I will have some final thoughts.

And here we go

400% Crime rate is no good…Better get androids on the job.

Starts off as a first person shooter

Already androids are ready to sacrifice people for the greater good. Fuck all that shit Spock.

Androids don’t know how to take risks for the chance that…oh shit the android was right.

Oopsie daisy…his leg’s off.

Already this show has gone wrong by Karl Urban not waking up as Robocop.

Uh oh…Don’t trust that guy, he works for Dharma.

‘Recolectionist’ That is awesome.

The city set is all cyberpunked up. I am really digging this so far.

Androids are creepy in this.

Joe lies. Joe liiiiiiies. When he cries. But I kid Lily Taylor.

Not the coolest looking cybernetic leg ever but I’ll take it.

I like the consistency with Kennex not liking the androids and his leg both.

I am not sure how this show has a higher budget than Agents of SHIELD, or if it does but it sure looks like it does.

Androids are NARCS.

Oh well that is one way to get androids to shut the fuck up.

It is good to know Depeche Mode is kicking around.

So if you throw a android out of a moving car they give you a new one that has more emotions. I like the punishment/reward system in the future.

Thugs in the future use super soakers!

 

First Commercial Break

I am surprised that this one hasn’t been thrown out of the car yet too.

Suffocation guns would suck balls.

Creepy androids are creepy

Robot razzing starting already. Someone needs to tell Dorian that it gets better.

It is too bad that the future doesn’t have phone books to hit this guy with.

Bad cop good robot. Kind of weird coming from a Bad Robot production.

I love the colloquial program.

Uh oh, do we have some joker business going on here?

Good to know that toilets still more or less work the same but now have blue led lights.

Dorian doesn’t give a shit about the MX’s orders like a boss.

If Jigsaw shows up I am out of here.

Oh jesus.

 

Second Commercial Break

Set ups suck balls.

Dorian can analyze blood by injecting it into himself. That is handy.

Targeting cops? Must be why they used a cop…

I like that Hanso has gone from working for Dharma to Abstergo.

 

Third Commercial Break

His girlfriend threw the grenade? Christ and I thought my relationships had been bad.

Let’s talk about it over some noodles.

‘It can’t rain all the time…’

‘It was my fault for the ambush on so many levels….it wasn’t the synthetic’s fault, it was my dick’s”

In the future, olive oil fixes creaky joints.

Nice to see Pad locks are still in wide use.

That is the big problem with using androids aside from the danger of them going homicidal, someone could just turn them all off.

 

Fourth Commercial Break

Newer technology isn’t always better. You hear that new game consoles?

Handgun technology really hasn’t advanced as much as I would have liked it to…

This cop killer gas is rough.

Dorian walking in like the terminator was pretty awesome.

‘man’ is now the universal symbol for acceptance.

Uh oh heads in boxes turning on is never a good thing.

 

That is a pretty awesome screen.

“hey do you mean special in a good way?”

Awwww now Dorian can call him John.

 

So, wow, I was really impressed by the first episode. The performances were solid, the world building was very well done with enough details to give it flavor and depth but without overdoing it, the effects were awesome, the action was good and the story was engaging. I am a sucker for this kind of thing and the tone was just right. We haven’t had cyberpunk on TV this good since Max Hedroom. Hopefully it continues this way. Alright, I will see you guys tomorrow for the second new episode. Thanks for reading.
