Die Science-Fiction-Serie spielt in einer alternativen Gegenwart, die sich nur in einem Punkt von unserer unterscheidet: Es sind menschenähnliche Androiden erfunden worden, die als alltägliche Helfer eingesetzt werden – sei es als Putzfrau, Seniorenbetreuer oder Prostituierte. Die zunehmende Intelligenz und Selbsterkenntnis der Roboter führt allerdings zu einigen Konflikten mit den Menschen und auch unter denen gibt es welche, die ihren Lebensstil und ihre Arbeitsplätze durch die Androiden bedroht sehen.

It's OK -- they bought the rights to the concept and butchered the original 2012 Swedish version, appropriately titled 'Real' Humans ( https://trakt.tv/shows/real-humans ) - "Äkta Människor". It wasn't adapted from a book, the creator (Lars Lundström) developed it as an original screenplay for Swedish television: www.svt.se/akta-manniskor/ The original was outstanding, both seasons -- by the end of the 1st season of the remake, there isn't anything from the original plot -- it's been simplified and homogenized. The original, with English subtitles, can be found on Vimeo. As they've completely changed the story, no need to worry about spoilers... ;-) "Real Humans" trailer: https://vimeo.com/35140857
Well not having seen the Swedish series, I can say that I am really enjoying this show so far. Really can't see a lot of use comparing the two shows, as I'm sure they are both great shows in their own way. When this series is over, I'm sure if I take a look at the Swedish show I'll find it missing some of the things that I like in this version. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the next episode and it's definitely on my watch list!
This show is so eerie but in an excellent way. I could totally see having these human droid bots in the future as part of everyday families. Looking forward to seeing how this season turns out!
When I started watching Humans, I was a bit worried. We all know that most films and series that try to tackle Artificial Intelligence are far fetched, too male-oriented; too experimental; or just downright boring. Would Humans be yet another failure? My answer to that question is: Absolutely not! Humans is an exciting series that succeeds on all fronts: a dramatic storyline that makes you beg for answers, that, once given, do not disappoint; realistic developments; what it means to be human; and the most intriguing thing known to mankind: life itself. Humans goes beyond superficial ideas, tacky characters. They have managed to revive the many philosophical dilemma's our species might face one day. But beyond all of this, it's also just a great TV series with a well written, exciting plot. If you're considering to watch this series, I say, go for it. It's well worth your time, and it will leave you with a lot of new food for thought — perhaps resulting in some good conversations around the dinner table.
