“Is this RoboCop-like sci-fi series from the JJ Abrams production line too mechanical for its own good?
“Beyond introducing a world where the pairing of human and robot law enforcement officers is mandatory, Almost Human quickly stops gnawing on the flesh of Robocop.
“It then starts raiding the corpse of Alien Nation, the 1988 movie teaming James Caan’s hard-ass lawman with a prosthetic-swamped Mandy Patinkin as his chatty, oversensitive partner from another planet.
“Filling Caan’s shoes is Karl Urban, whose Jon Kennex is a walking compendium of cop cliches. He’s a grouchy, brooding, gravel-voiced, pill-popping mess.” -Telegraph.co.uk
Hm. Sound like a winner to you?
