"You've seen every bit of this elsewhere," Matt Zoller Seitz says of the J.J. Abrams buddy cop robot drama. "It's Dystopia 101 with a minor in Ridley Scott Studies. But if you're going to steal, you might as well steal from the best, and do it with feeling, as 'Almost Human' does. The show is derivative but passionate, verging on corny." PLUS: The cast is bland, except for Michael Ealy and Lily Taylor, the action scenes are terrific, Ealy needs to be the focus if "Almost Human" were to succeed.

I find it weird that Fox is investing this much hype and I think most of the fandom was just created by Fox's social media team.
