Humans AMC/4HD thread

saw the first episode.. totally different show from what I expected
I like it so far
 
just seen the movie...can't wait for the series

HBO is rebooting WestWorld. Western/Greek themed 'Fantasy Island' with robots. The robots are harmless but they have programming to adjust to situations to make the fantasy more realistic for the customer. What could go wrong? The scene that stuck out to me after the robots went insane was a dude trying to beast robot coochie in a tavern/brothel and getting stuck - the robot ho being a robot does the most logical thing to free him...
 
'Humans' Writer Teases Season 2's Sexual Themes, New Antagonists


Stars, writers and producers of the AMC and Channel 4 hit drama also discuss its recipe for success and the challenges talent faces when playing "synths."
The second season of AMC and Channel 4 co-production Humans ‎will go further in exploring the relationship between humans and "synths" and feature more conscious ‎"synths," writers of the hit drama said in London on Tuesday evening.

Produced by Kudos for Channel 4 and AMC, the show‎ imagines an alternative present where "synths" have been developed to mimic their human counterparts. It became U.K. broadcaster Channel 4’s most successful drama in 20 years.

Speaking at an "Anatomy of a Hit" panel discussion organized by the Royal Television Society, co-writer ‎Sam Vincent noted that "most of our wonderful cast" will return for season 2. Asked about what viewers can expect, he said, "We want to go deeper into relationships between humans and synths, all kinds: sexual ones, love ones, romantic‎ love, platonic love and familial." He added that will be partly achieved via new characters and new combinations of existing characters.

The new season will be set some time after the first, meaning synths will be even more sophisticated and more integrated into society, with "more responsibility." Vincent also promised "a new antagonist or two." And he shared: "The big one is that the conscious synths, the ‎small group ... that we know from [season one] they will turn out to not be the only conscious synths."

Writers, producers and talent of the show on Tuesday also discussed its approach to artificial intelligence and the drama's appeal.

‎Discussing the show more generally, Vincent said he wanted to combine the spookiness of artificial intelligence with rooting things in everyday life. There is a "far-flung" sci-fi and a "more everyday allegorical" level to the story in the drama, he explained.

Co-writer Jonathan Brackley said after watching the Swedish original that the drama is based on, the writing team first decided what elements to keep.‎ The result, he said, is "a very domestic way into what could be a science fiction show."

‎Beth Willis, deputy head of drama, Channel 4, said the U.K. broadcaster was aware of the Swedish original, but liked the ideas of the writers to "gently adapt" it. "It speaks to a problem every mother feels, which is perpetual guilt" that she isn't doing anything well enough, she said. "I connected to it in an emotional way that I just found incredibly effective."

‎Simon Maxwell, head of international drama at Channel 4, added that the show also taps into "a fear about our relationship with technology" and the difference between humans and machines.

Star Gemma Chan said: "There are lots of people in society that we treat as less than human," which also is an interesting theme of the show.

About playing her synth character, which turns out to actually be two, she said: "I discovered the power you have in stillness and not giving everything away." She said she kept in mind with the help of notes she made on the script how much of her second character she would show at different stages as that character breaks through over time.

Chan described the production team's and a choreographer's advice on the movement of synths, saying "there had to be an efficiency" in each movement. "Everything had to be relearned." She added that she found playing a machine "really different" from playing a human," adding: "It was really, really hard."

The producers, meanwhile, recalled seeing first scenes and asking the actors playing humans to avoid moving less or moving more efficiently like the synth actors.

Actor Tom Goodman-Hill at that point described as "incredibly weird" and "unsettling" acting opposite Chan and others portraying synths.

Chris Fry and Derek Wax, executive producers for production firm Kudos, were also part of Tuesday's discussion.


Wax recalled that his firm was in the middle of preparations for the show with XBox when the latter pulled all funding for original series. AMC was "most in tune" with Kudos' and Channel 4's idea for the show, he said. Fry called AMC a great partner and said it had only "productive" notes during the production of season one, adding that AMC embraced it as a mostly British show with a British feeling. And Maxwell said there were no disagreements about casting choices with AMC.

Brackley recalled though that AMC asked the writers to not use the British word "milk float" since American audiences wouldn't understand it. It describes an open-sided van used for delivering milk to houses. Brackley quipped that the writers were fine with the note since younger audiences likely didn't know the word either.

Tuesday's discussion also saw panelists asked if they would buy a synth. "Yeah, why not," said Goodman-Hill. Brackley also raised his hand.

HUMANS Season 2 Starts Production With Carrie-Anne Moss and More New Cast Members




AMC and Channel 4 announced that filming is underway on the second season HUMANS with new cast members including The Matrix star Carrie-Anne Moss and Nashville‘s Sam Palladio. Gemma Chan, Katherine Parkinson, Tom Goodman-Hill, Emily Berrington, Will Tudo, Colin Morgan, Ivanno Jeremiah, Neil Maskell and Ruth Bradley will all reprise their roles from Season 1.

The Kudos-produced drama series, created by writing partners Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley (Spooks, Spooks: The Greater Good) is set in a parallel present and explores what happens when the lines between humans and machines are blurred. The second season picks up several months after the events of season one, with Niska (Berrington) still at large and in possession of the consciousness code. Her synth family, Mia (Chan), Leo (Morgan) and Max (Jeremiah), unaware of her location, are each trying to find their place in the world while Joe (Goodman-Hill) and Laura (Parkinson) attempt to mend their marriage. As unconfirmed reports of synths behaving inexplicably surface, the ripple effects of one simple yet seismic decision sees the past return dramatically and surprisingly to the door of the Hawkins house. Joe, Laura and the entire family are faced with a difficult choice that will put the family under an intense spotlight.

Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix, Jessica Jones) joins the cast as Dr. Athena Morrow, a pre-eminent Artificial Intelligence expert who is driven by her own motives to create a new kind of machine consciousness. Additional casting includes, Sam Palladio (Nashville, Episodes) as Ed, a struggling café owner trying to breathe life into his family business; Marshall Allman (True Blood, Prison Break) plays Milo Khoury, a young Silicon Valley billionaire, founder and CEO of a leading technology company; intent on changing the world. Sonya Cassidy (The Paradise, Olympus) and Letitia Wright (Cucumber/Banana) round out the cast.

The eight-episode second season is slated to premiere in the U.K. in late 2016 before airing in the U.S. in 2017.

Humans season 2 cast, spoilers and start date on Channel 4 and AMC




It was Channel 4's biggest drama hit of the past 20 years. It was Digital Spy's no. 1 TV show of 2015. And it's coming back, back, BACK.

Humans is returning with more scintillating tales of sentient Synths – and here's absolutely everything we know about the eight new episodes.

Humans season 1 finale: How did it end?
Forgotten how things wrapped up? Here's a brief summary of what went down in August 2015's Humans finale...

Elster's children – with the help of Karen (Ruth Bradley) – succeeded in unlocking the secret to Synth consciousness, but before they could decide what to do with it, Niska (Emily Berrington) deleted the code from Mattie's laptop, storing what appeared to be the only copy on a flash drive.

In what appeared to be a big move towards establishing peaceful human/Synth relations, Niska entrusted the flash drive to Laura (Katherine Parkinson) – but Mattie (Lucy Carless) subsequently discovered that her spare flash drive was missing and Niska was later seen boarding a train, carrying said drive.

What actually occurred here isn't 100% clear. Did Niska leave Laura with a copy of the code, while also making a copy for herself? Or did she supply Laura with a dud and take the only real copy for herself?

The latter seems more likely, though you'd think that Laura or Mattie would have double-checked the data on their flash drive.

Humans season 2 cast: Who's in it?
Practically the entire cast from the 2015 series will be returning for the next run. That includes...

The Hawkins Family: Katherine Parkinson as Laura Hawkins, Tom Goodman-Hill as Joe Hawkins, Lucy Carless as Mattie Hawkins, Theo Stevenson as Toby Hawkins and Pixie Davies as Sophie Hawkins.

The Synths: Gemma Chan as Mia, Colin Morgan as Leo Elster, Emily Berrington as Niska, Ruth Bradley as DS Karen Voss, Sope Dirisu as Fred, Ivanno Jeremiah as Max and Will Tudor as Odi.

Odi's return might come as a surprise, given the character's apparent demise, but Will Tudor has confirmed he's back on the Humans set.

Plus: Neil Maskell is also expected to return as DS Pete Drummond, while so far unconfirmed are Jill Halfpenny as his wife Jill and Danny Webb as wicked Edwin Hobb.

One notable absentee from the roster is William Hurt, whose Dr George Millican met his end in the first series.

Real Humans – the Swedish drama which our Humans is based on – brought the character back as a "grief-bot" Synth, though writer Jonathan Brackley has suggested the UK serieswon't go down a similar path.

New cast members will include Carrie-Anne Moss – of Jessica Jones and The Matrix – as AI expert Dr Athena Morrow and Prison Break's Marshall Allman as Silicon Valley billionaire Milo Khoury.

Morrow is hoping to advance David Elster's work by creating a new kind of machine consciousness and is recruited by the young and ambitious Khoury.

Nashville's Sam Palladio is also on board as café owner Ed – and this trio will be joined by The Paradise's Sonya Cassidy, Cucumber actress Letitia Wright and Bella Dayne of Plebs.

Here's the official synopsis for 2016's episodes: "Niska is still at large and in possession of the consciousness code. Her synth family, Mia , Leo and Max, unaware of her location, are each trying to find their place in the world while Joe and Laura attempt to mend their marriage.

"As unconfirmed reports of synths behaving inexplicably surface, the ripple effects of one simple yet seismic decision sees the past return dramatically and surprisingly to the door of the Hawkins house. Joe, Laura and the entire family are faced with a difficult choice that will put the family under an intense spotlight.

"In the US, Milo Khoury, a young Silicon Valley billionaire, founder and CEO of a leading technology company is pioneering new research. But he needs help and attempts to recruit Dr Athena Morrow - the country's pre-eminent Artificial Intelligence expert.

"Suspicious of his motives and focussed on her own work Morrow is single-minded in her drive to create a new kind of machine consciousness.

"As an emerging form of intelligent life – the synths – and an established one – humanity – fight for their places in the world, a thrilling multi-stranded narrative evolves which continues to ask: who has the right to determine what it means to be alive?"


Oooh... but wait, there's more!

Series two will pick up "a few months" after the first, with the robotic Synths having "gone a bit deeper" into our culture. In short: they're no longer a novelty.

"Things are developing fast, as technology does in all areas," said head writer Sam Vincent. "There's lots of new, society-wide effects which we're going to tell stories in."

The new characters played by Moss and Allman will "form part of what is a huge story", Tom Goodman-Hill told Digital Spy in April.

"It's much opened out from what we saw in series one," he hinted.

As for Palladio's Ed, he'll share most of his scenes with Gemma Chan's Mia, whose consciousness was restored in the first series.

"The story takes her down a very interesting path – needless to say it's quite an intense partnership for the two of them," the actor told DS in June.

2016's episodes will also introduce a few new villains, though Vincent and co-writer Brackley wouldn't be drawn on whether volatile Niska will go over to the dark side.

"I think it's really tantalising and dangerous to put the future in the hands of one of your characters who's very unpredictable, volatile, and dangerous," Vincent said.

"We do have a new antagonistic force in mind for this show, which is going to come into play and be embodied by a couple of new characters, but I can't say any more than that."

Humans season 2 premiere: When's it back?
Series two started shooting in April, with new episodes scheduled to air on Channel 4 inOctober and on AMC in early 2017.

Channel 4 began stealth advertising the new series in September, airing a mock PSA from fictional firm Persona Synthetics, urging viewers to return their malfunctioning Synths.


Humans season 3: What's next for the Synths?
But is there a future for Humans beyond the next eight episodes? It seems there could well be, with writers Vincent and Brackley telling DS way back in October 2015 that the show "could run longer than two series".

"Definitely we have a very rough playful notion of what we'd do in series beyond two," said Vincent, adding that the show has "got a few series in it".

Meanwhile, Tom Goodman-Hill has hinted that some big changes could be heading the show's way if it were to continue into 2017.

gallery_lhumanep86767.jpg

"I know Jon and Sam are already talking about what they want to do with the third series," he revealed. "Quite a lot of jaws hit the floor when they intimated what that was going to be!

"We know a little bit about that, which is very exciting – and beyond that, I don't know. I think it's the kind of story that has enormous potential to just run and run."

For his part, Sam Palladio has intimated that he's keen to come back for another go-around, saying: "I would hope that there may be a life for Ed in series three. I'd love to [come back]."
