10 Underrated Sci-Fi TV Shows You Need To Watch
3. Almost Human
Some TV series don't make it for reasons beyond their control. Others get crippled by their own networks. Almost Human falls in the second category.
In the not-too-distant future, crimes rates have spiked by 400% due to uncontrolled advances in science and technology. As a means of fighting this, every police officer is paired with an artificial life form, specifically a combat model android. This doesn't go over well with the main character, Kennex, who has some deep seeded issues with the androids.
The key to the series is the evolving relationship between Kennex and Dorian, his android partner, though that never got far. Only 13 episodes were produced and the series was cancelled due to low ratings relative to cost. It probably didn't help that Fox aired the episodes almost completely out of order. It's hard for a story to gain traction when it barely makes sense.
