Sunday showed us a fantastic start to the series and as an added treat we got the second episode of the series on Monday (which will be the normal night for the show) and if you thought the first episode of Almost human was good you will think the second is even better. The writing is really stand out and the chemistry between Karl Urban and Michael Ealy continues to grow.
The lovely ladies of the Skin episode were indeed everything you would think they should be, beautiful and then some when you find out how they are getting to be just so life like. But the first scene to truly draw me in was the exchange between Dorian and the children and how he impresses them, followed by the mere Human Kennex jabbing a knife into his leg that sends the kitties screaming, of course. Which of course leads to an amusing conversation about Detective Kennex and his negative energy and how kids and cats can sense it. Don’t worry the Detective is not as bad with children as it first seems, he later has a very good moment with a child whose Mother was kidnapped. It also lead everyone me included to wanting of of the little giraffes that he gave to the boy.
The detective work was well done and the case I found very interesting. I like that while there is technology that is being used in this show it does not seem all that far fetched kind of technology and what really shows is the human interactions. Detective work is still detective work and you still need the cops to do it. If they keep up the great plot lines and the fantastic writing this show will be around for a while because it ticks all the right boxes and the cast is really strong in acting. Come on how can you not love a show that has a scene involving the words, John: Don’t scan my testicles ever again. Dorian: Copy that. Mondays are really much better with this show on.
