HUMANS
February 13, 2017  | By David Bianculli

AMC, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

SEASON PREMIERE: I really liked this show when it premiered on AMC, as a dark adaptation of an already dark Swedish series. William Hurt was one standout star last year, as an early-version developer of “synths” – humanlike robots who may or may not be more alive than their creators imagine. He’s gone, but Emily Berrington (pictured) and Gemma Chan, as synths Niska and Anita, are back, and a new cast addition this series is Carrie-Anne Moss, co-star of The Matrix movies, as a scientist. Between the two seasons of HUMANS, viewers have been treated to another exploration of this topic in HBO’s Westworld. But this one, remember, came first… so give it credit. And a second, or first, chance.
