It's all pretty gripping stuff -- a bit creepy, a bit spooky and rather smart, and as its storylines begin to overlap, Humans becomes an addictive drama that no intelligent viewer -- real or synthetic -- will want to miss.

It's an interesting concept -- as evidenced by the wealth of material already out there -- but for the most part the stories the writers choose to tell are expected.

Humans explores... issues with sensitivity and fresh insight, much of which comes from cleverly using an ordinary family as a stand-in for society at large.

It's familiar sci-fi territory, of course, but the show tackles it in intriguing style while delivering some suspenseful touches.

[An] intriguing, erratic serial that trod the narrow line between the compelling and the silly.

What stays with us about Humans, though, are the reminders of all the little ways things will change once we hand part of our lives over to robots.

On the basis of episode one, Humans isn't any old glass of water. It's a tall, iced glass with a lemon wedge and a curly straw. It's the sort of grown-up, thought-provoking, unsettling sci-fi that we've been craving.

There was much good human acting and creepy robot acting. It was great fun seeing grand old ham William Hurt as a solitary codger desperate not to surrender the unreliable robot that stored all his fading memories.

Like most good sci-fi, Humans makes sure that the philosophizing doesn't get in the way of the suspense and chills. Anyone who doesn't enjoy those might be a Synth.
