Real Humans (100% Humain)

So far, I have watched 7 episodes with a further 3 to come. What strikes me about this series is how accessible it is for non sci-fi buffs. It is about how robots can or would evolve within a human environment. With the self actuated robots, there are elements of Blade Runner, but as with most things about TV, this is a great canvas in which to explore plots and character development. I'm so looking forward to the final 3 episodes. This is sci-fi which is not too removed or unimaginable from our current time. It also explores how humans interact and use this technology from all sorts of angles. Looking forward to how the series further unfolds and hope that they don't make another series if they have nothing further to add to this current series. However, at the moment, I can't wait for the next episode.

Oh... I was so into this 1st season. I thought it was damn good, given all the possibilities with such a subject to give us a too-usual bad sci-fi TV program. But wow, it raised great questions, the acting is really good, the plot not simplistic and predictable: what a pleasure! ...Until the last three episodes... WTF?! It's like they suddenly realized that they needed to close the first season and panicked to have to do so in such a short time. The pace changes drastically and I felt we were back to the "usual" (lame) shortcuts used by any sci-fi US TV series... How disappointed and enraged I was! How could they do that? The first episodes reached such a level, it can't be by accident! What happened?! Did they need to tick all the commercial boxes and absolutely close "neatly" but poorly at the end of 1st season? Trying to make all the story lines come together in such a short period of time, come on!?! Take your time, don't rush!!! Believe in what you've manage to create to keep us interested! Doesn't make me want to see the next season, what good can come out of this now that they destroyed the good work...? Special thoughts to the actors that kept bravely doing their job, which showed even more that the problem lies in the turns the story has suddenly taken. They kept their acting to the best, but it cannot work. (Forget about the nice subtle transitions always sustained by great insight in "human" condition, and welcome to the usual so called "entertaining" messy story telling) Guys, you had something unique and now it simply feels like the merging of all the US clichés the genre is polluted by! I'm so disappointed... Thanks anyway for the beginning.

Don't let watching a show with subtitles put you off. This is a great show and reading the subtitles doesn't detract from watching. The show has many undertones and a great storyline. I've watched it all a few times and you pick things up each time. Well worth the watch.

There is some great acting and really nice scenery too - for those of us who have never been, and probably will never go, to Sweden, it gives you a little view of some very different places - especially compared to Australia.

If you like this, you may also like the Danish version of The Killing (the original). Also an excellent show!

no statistical scenes, no fancy fighting, no fancy lights, explosions, no expensive effects, no fancy nothing.. no propaganda, and no bloody Apple ads.

its a simple but brilliant and gorgeous show that should be a good lesson to mollywood film and show makers.

writing is excellent, chronology of events and how they stitched together is excellent, acting is excellent for a show, i would think the budget is nothing big, but the makers did an excellent job in keeping everything as real as can be without spending millions.

please share and let all your friends across the world know about this show, i feel obliged to spread the news and get everyone hooked on this excellent work so we can see more seasons coming, and do hope to see more good sci-fi shows from all over the world, where all cultures can contribute their own unique thinking patterns to film making

The Swedes have achieved something unique with this show. Real Humans is about a reality where human-like robots are commonplace in today's world and perform such roles as home assistants, companions to lonely souls, workers of all types and, of course, sex toys. The show follows a selection of different people as they live in this world, from the family with the curious teenage boy, to an old man needing home assistance, and a lonely man who's job is threatened by them, and a woman in love with one. It also follows a group of obsolete and disowned "hubots" who are a quest to avoid being scrapped and recycled. The day-to-day coexistence between humans and hubots provides often amusing situations but there's also a darker side in each episode which makes you feel for them. I'm not ashamed to admit it's a soap, but a very intelligent one, and a very open one. Strictly for older kids and adults.
