Really love this series. That was a very powerful scene when Max was praying to God.

I fear this show is too cerebral for the average American viewer, though.

Yeah I agree, I watch this and wonder if it has much of a following at all. I love it too though, so hopefully it gets picked up for another few seasons.

Yeah especially after most recent show, its hard to give anything but thumbs up - However i wonder how much source material and how far the show can go. I mean sure you can be pretty creative and have alot of twist but im very curious where it could go in future seasons.

Last episode felt like a season finale with all the reveals they did.
Still wondering about the female cop, who's her maker and why was she planted as a cop.

Hey, that's the receptionist from the early seasons of Doc Martin.

Only place I've even heard about this show is here. Seems like it's a pretty good show.

Wonder if it's more popular outside the U.S.?

Reception

The show is Channel 4's highest rated drama since the 1992 programme The Camomile Lawn. It has been described as having "universal appeal" and as being "one of 2015's dramatic hits." The show has been described as "a bit dystopian and Black Mirror-esque." The actors have been praised for their performances, but some critics have said the story is "conceptually ... old hat" and "wasn't breaking any new ground philosophically."

I won't be watching it, it's just a scene for scene copy of Real Humans which I've already watched.

I do understand most people can't read subtitles so there needs to be an English version, but I wish remakes would STOP.

Remakes aren't just about subtitles. There are cultural references and idioms that don't translate well. I considered watching the original, but not enough time to care atm.

I enjoyed it for the strange and weird cultural references

I don't like everything being spelled out to me, except for subtitles haha

Really curious where this show will go - next weeks is sure to be a total disaster depending on what happens with Leo and the cop dude hunting them down.

The rip I watched said next week is the finale, so whatever happens, it will be big. And cliff-hanger-y.

Wife and I just caught up and couldn't stop laughing at how absolutely terrible of a human being Joe is. Melts down after having to watch the Kids for 5 days, completely ignores his wife and any subtleties or overt concerns she has, finds out she isn't cheating on him so then decides to cheat on her... etc etc

Good show though. Anita is super hot and creepy

Strangely satisfying conclusion to the season - I didnt expect the very last scene but i guess it made more sense than what she tried earlier. I really dug this season and the music is theme'd so nicely.

I'm not sure, I was kind of disappointed. I get the feeling that they rewrote the last couple of episodes because the producers realized, "oh shit, this is actually doing well ratings-wise. We'll get another season!" and decided to string the story out. The season should have ended with all synths gaining consciousness (because that's what they were clearly building up to), but since they got OK'd for another season, the writers decided to have the characters "think about it some more" before doing so.

Regardless, I really enjoyed the series. The actors did a spectacular job portraying androids.

While i agree, i just didnt expect to like the season ending at all. However i liked how there was so "happy ending", i also liked how Nisca played good and bad at the same time with shit. I am curious how the family will play into things next season even with how things turned out.
