Almost Human

[Ubik]

I agree with everything Ubik said. Unfortunately, I highly doubt the show will return. I am sure the costs outweigh the ratings. I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best right next to Ubik.

Sadly, it probably will get cancelled by FOX. Ratings haven't been bad, but nor have they been stellar. I'd love to see it given time to develop over a second season. The fact that we only got 13 episodes, means it's still growing as a show.

Fingers crossed we'll get more, but I doubt it.

Sadly, this show has been cancelled!

A real shame as it was just starting to come into it's own, and I loved the Blade Runner vibe.

'Dear' old FOX...not.

I was enjoying the vibe between the characters and I really liked that everybody was distinct from each other - something you don't see all the time in shows. I'll be on the lookout for the actor who played Damien in the future.

They had to know they were probably doomed when FOX came on board. Well that is going to free up time for me. It was one of two hour long 'network' shows I was planning to watch next season because I think I am dumping the rest. I guess I'll have more free time. I am just not really into the other shows I watched this season. Some have gotten good as the seasons are coming to a close, but not good enough for me to be interested in wasting another winter watching them. I think I'll wait for most of them to be released in a format where I can binge watch them if I want to find out what happened. Those shows would be:

Arrow
Blacklist
Hannibal
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Revolution

I am going to stick with Grimm for now, but they are right on the edge.

And in all honesty I would probably stick with a few more of them if I didn't have to watch them with commercials. With a wide variety of ways to see commercial free content why would I waste my time on shows that force me to watch ads?! I can see a variety of shows and movies I've never seen from streaming services as well as DVD content from Netflix for even more choices of shows I have never seen. Why waste time with ad content?! I would have for Almost Human. What a shame.

Yeah, I hear you. I've been watch Arrow and SHIELD as ‘trash TV’. Both have improved steadily, but still aren’t what I’d call ‘good’ TV. About the only thing I’ve seen this season that genuinely excited and impressed me was HBO’s True Detective. Now THAT was TV.

The real question is what will Almost Human fans call themselves when they start the campaign to bring it back?

Actually what do B5 fans call themselves? We need a cool universal title . . . that I approve.

Basic
Agents

Yeah...good luck with that one! There's been no consensus for 20 years so far! Let's just stick with what JMS called us "People of Infinite Taste and Sensibility".

FOX can 'scan my balls'.

Sticking with Phaze's theme - P.O.I.T.A.S. or P.I.T.S.

And that is a great scene Ubik linked. I sure hope they do a proper Blu-Ray release for the show. Maybe if enough sell they'll bring it back in some form.

[Ubik]

Apparently, they call themselves "DRNs" (http://www.change.org/p/save-almost-human/u/7666050)

The campaign is on btw, at least there's a massive petition on change.org imploring most major networks to pick the show up. There've already been answers from SyFy ("no") and Netflix ("considering it"); Netflix' answer is dated May 5, so there's still time to change the tide.

http://www.change.org/petitions/save-almost-human

I've signed it and donated 50 EUR to help spread it. Screw you FOX.

Another semi-major petition is here:

Huh, that's cool. Will go sign these later.

[Looney]

This is a bit disappointing, but at least it is available. No Blu-Ray release announced as of yet. And no soundtrack released as of yet.

It is a real shame it won't be in stores. And it looks like they have put no effort into this release.

[Jan]

That's kind of sad. I didn't catch all of it but what I saw, I liked.
