Real Humans (SVT, 2012-ongoing)

Post by K. A. Pital »

SVT's Äkta människor provides something for those who like hard-fi stories that are following the Asimov tradition of sci-fi. I can just say that this is a damn good show about robots. Camera work is rough in the first two-three episodes but markedly improves later on and the complete product is well worth the time spent. I recommend it to all on SDN.

The critical acclaim is well-deserved in this case. Also, it is totally not like most of the other boring technophobic Hollywood shit that routinely makes me want to punch some directors in the face.

I watched the first season of this last year. It does a good job of dealing with the various issues involved with AI machine androids, and how the line between machine and human is merged.
TVWP: "Janeway says archly, "Sometimes it's the female of the species that initiates mating." Is the female of the species trying to initiate mating now? Janeway accepts Paris's apology and tells him she's putting him in for a commendation. The salamander sex was that good."

I love how the show operates in a total gray zone all the time, leaving you with no real protagonists and nonetheless with a lot of interesting characters that you care about.
