Humans - New Show on AMC

Agreed. The first season is very interesting. The second and third seasons are watchable but not up to the same level.

The show aired here in the United States on AMC, a basic cable channel that would slightly edit the show's language and nudity for broadcast. The Blu-ray release uses the uncut British masters.

 

Just finished 3.0

WOW!

 

Season three was a big change from prior seasons. It felt more like a thriller with less focus on character development. Here's the Blu-ray review. Gemma Chan remains the best thing about the show.

Have started Real Humans on Hulu

 

Humans Cancelled at AMC After Three Seasons

 

I'm not surprised. The story was rather running out of steam for a while now. Still, sad to see it go.

 

That's not unexpected. Humans was an American co-production with the Brits, but most of the original cast had been written off the show by the end of season three. Any season four would have had to rely on new cast members.

 

Completely missed this on AMC. Finding US programming mundane & boring of late.

Have turned to UK & love Luther (though it practically leaves me breathless from gasping & being on edge of seat throughout!)
Also got Humans (not viewed yet)
Was able to get an Amazon streamed series on DVD:
Good Girls Revolt
Travelers
Life on Mars (love it!! UK version)

Awaiting orders:
Acorn Media:

The Fall (complete series)
Keeping Faith
Murder In Suburbia
View trailers first; all look great!!!

 

Does my eyes fail me, no ashes to ashes?

 

A pale imitation of Life on Mars.

 

The Fall: Series 1 Blu-ray Review - DoBlu.com

The Fall: Series 2 Blu-ray Review - DoBlu.com

The Fall is a taut criminal thriller definitely worth a look. Happens to star Gillian Anderson from the X-Files.

 

I'm still viewing (UK) Life on Mars Season 1, w/Season 2 next up.
Don't think I'll be following that w/Ashes To Ashes, even though the 80s arc looks appealing & soundtrack
for that should be excellent, too. Even though character DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) returns, main character Sam Tyler (John Simm) from Life on Mars is missing and Annie Cartright (Liz White).

 

I think Gene Hunt/Glenister character is the star of both shows. Keeley Hawes is pretty good plus the support characters are even better. And of course a fabulous 80s soundtrack.

 

Quarry a American cinemax tv series is a interesting crime drama thriller set in the early seventies amazing period detail, only lasted one season though.

 

I just finished Season 3 last week. I thought Seasons 1 & 3 were the best of the series. I also thought the writers did a great job concluding each season, that if it wasn't renewed, you weren't feeling left hanging, but w/enough of that to keep you looking forward to it, in the event it was renewed! (Which I think must be very difficult to do.) Great Series!!! I tuned into Westworld, before ever knowing about this series. Did not enjoy that one, at all. I do like Ed Harris, James Marsden & Evan Rachel Wood...Thandie Newton, less so. Was very disappointed w/show. I don't think I went beyond 1st episode. Found Humans immensely intriguing & gripping - was immediately hooked!

Through online meanderings just this morning, came across a show that has a similar content + cop/crime drama element to it:
Almost Human
And, one w/Thandie Newton - completely different storyline (which looks promising, to me):
Rogue

'Almost Human' was great. Pity they didn't do more.
