FOX Upfront Part II - Almost Human


How could we survive the year 2013 without a new TV series produced by J.J. Abrams? Luckily we don't have to find out. After this year's finale of "Fringe" his new sci-fi crime series "Almost Human" is set in 2048 and involves John Konnex (Karl Urban, "Star Trek"), a cop that is returning to work after a traumatizing incident where his partner was seriously injured (and most likely killed). He is emotionally unstable and refuses to partner with an android, which became a requirement at the LAPD in the 2 years he was gone. After he destroyed his first MX, he teams up with Dorian (Michael Ealy), an outdated model with several quirks and bugs that was designed to feel human emotions (what we can only suspect was eventually not a desirable feature for a robot).


I really miss Fringe and this trailer looks quite promising. I love imaginative future tech and the characters seem to be pretty well defined, too, so I'm looking forward to this one.
