    Season Spoiler Synopsis: Almost Human was a 2013 mystery crime procedural that takes place in the year 2048. The show focused on Detective John Kennex (Karl Urban) as he returns to the police force several months after a raid gone bad having been the only survivor and losing one of his legs. At this point in the future, technology has advanced far enough to where every detective has an android partner know as MX’s. John, upon returning to the force, wants a human partner as it was good enough for his partner and, in trying to do so, throws his MX out of his car onto the highway. His replacement is a DRN named Dorian (Michael Ealy), who had been decommissioned along with the rest of the DRNs when they were believed their emotions made them unstable and harmful. Unlike the MXs, who are very stereotypical, vacant, and unemotional robots, the DRNs and Dorian have emotions, look more human, and still possess the strength, intelligence, and combat skills of the other MXs. Over the course of the series, John and Dorian solve a variety of crimes all usually related to the group that lead to the botched raid John had conducted known as Insindicate. The series ends with a revelation that Dorian somehow contains organic human memories of childhood and the two having now become friends and good partners.
