View Details Critic Reviews for HUMANS Season 2 All Critics (17) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (1) Humans, which is plate-spinning a number of compelling character-development stories in addition to the big-picture themes, is a series that is primed for a larger audience as it improves on its already impressively complex and nuanced story. Feb 14, 2017 | Full Review… Tim Goodman Hollywood Reporter Top Critic Niska's the star of the show, and now the writers have a much firmer grip on her. Feb 14, 2017 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Brandon Nowalk AV Club Top Critic Humans... is a less ambitious production than Westworld. But its more pedestrian nature - it's domestic drama merged with a sci-fi thriller - also makes it more emotionally effective. Feb 13, 2017 | Full Review… James Poniewozik New York Times Top Critic Forget Westworld. Humans is the most compelling, emotionally resonant robot-centric show on television. Feb 13, 2017 | Full Review… Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic This sets up what should be a very good season, with lots of issues on the table. Much better so far than the previous season IMO. Mar 6, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Ron Gilmer TV Fanatic Humans, at times, may feel slight, soapy and overcrowded, but when it works, and everything gels, it can really touch your heart while also touching on a topic that you may not have considered. Mar 6, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review… Matt Fowler IGN Movies Those actors playing AIs were incredible at it and almost terrifying in their portrayal. Aug 20, 2018 | Full Review… Stephanie Cooke Rogues Portal Even when it becomes too complicated or repetitive...Humans is still thought-provoking and enjoyable. Mar 27, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… D.F. Lovett We Got This Covered It's the second series where high-concept shows like this so often come undone. Dec 13, 2017 | Full Review… Calum Henderson New Zealand Herald Humans offers so much future-horror as subtle remarks or background details it's worth paying close attention. Feb 14, 2017 | Full Review… Michael Noble Den of Geek The series' willingness to dig deeper into the singularity and attempt to demonstrate the slow blow by blow account of humankind being surpassed and replaced by its own novel creation is ultimately what sets Humans apart from the other contenders. Feb 14, 2017 | Full Review… Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant Humans can be intriguing, even enthralling. But it's always held back by its title. Feb 13, 2017 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Emily VanDerWerff Vox View All Critic Reviews (17) Audience Reviews for HUMANS: Season 2 Aug 15, 2020 The synths are simply too human, with very human idiosyncrasies, as if there is only one way to be conscious and self-aware. Explores multiple facets of its premise but is somewhat predictable. David B Aug 04, 2019 Great show with some short sighted inconsistencies/script stupidity. But still very enjoyable with a great setting and progression. Jan K Nov 12, 2018 Great from beginning to end and the progression from the previous season was interesting. Andrew J May 11, 2018 Extremely thought provoking and makes me wonder what would happen when humans started falling in love with Synths Paul C Mar 10, 2018 i just love this show. Jan 11, 2018 The British television series Humans is an exquisite, intelligently written and splendidly acted exploration of what it means to be alive. In a near future where human-like androids have become ubiquitous, some androids attain consciousness. The series explores how they feel, how people treat them, and what rights they should have. The excellent second season further addresses how people change in reaction to their presence. All the while, fine writing and multiple plot lines keep the view glued to the screen. The British series is based on and surpasses the Swedish series Real Humans. Two seasons are now available on disk. Bill D Aug 11, 2017 Just finished Season 2. Way better than the Season 1, can't wait for Season 3 Mar 29, 2017 This series goes above and beyond your typical science-fi "humans vs. robot themes, and truly makes you think about what the emotional and physical consequences would be if AI could reach sentience. The acting is both heartbreakingly tender and brutal, each character being developed as truly complex individual beings, and what that means to humanity. I am puzzled by the low ratings, and truly hope that this continues on into series 3. Tracy G Mar 21, 2017 Fabulous series!!! Want more!! Angela R Mar 13, 2017 If I wanted to watch humans i'd go outside.
