_Yet_ another Almost Human rehash. This time with some kind of origin story.
Mixed with a terrible, terrible wet-dream phantasy of a multi-billionaire, bored guy fixing the problems of everyone else with engineering stuff. MacGyver (original) in unlikable/stupid...well basically another MacGyver (2016).

The focus lies on the two people on the cover and we all know they'll [spoiler]fall for each other sooner than later the moment they talk to each other in private[/spoiler] because...yes, why exactly?
Sadly, Justin Kirk is an incredibly bad actor, unlikable to the core, while Natalie Martinez is doing just fine.
The writing is consistently nonsensicle.

The show is dangerous in what it portrays, also.
Taserweapons I'd call excessive force. Drones that mean a huge privacy issue. Untested vehicles/gadgets.
A shady af hacker on the button to wreak havoc, even doing so ("digital justice", ohh, that cringe).
Changes to the executive (in that one district) endangering everyone living in its department.
Having enough money can buy you executive rights, meaning you can "legally" endanger those people.

There's so much wrong with the basic setup of the world. It's like this is some mix of leftover ideas from past seasons (or other TV shows) and the network needed something to fill a timeslot and was desperate to mix it all together.
It's not entirely abysmal like other longer running TV series, but clearly a low-effort show that's supposed to fill another timeslot, only running for one season (unless, like always, for some reason successful).
Although, to be fair, the CGI is surprisingly good (still 90s-ish) compared to other, higher budget shows.

Clearly execs of different networks can't let the idea of Almost Human go either...

@ds1 I agree so much. It puts all the stuff they're doing in such a positive light and it's sending such a dangeorus message. I would love for them to delve into the ramifications of this precedent they've set. But to be honest, with 2 episodes left in the season, it doesn't look like they will.
