Fox's "Almost Human" Series Premiere Tonight From Producer J. J. Abrams

The highly anticipated future-cop-drama from the mind of J. J. Abrams called Almost Human is scheduled to air tonight on Fox at 8 PM EST. If shows like Alias and Fringe are any indication of how Almost Human will fare with audiences, then we are in for a treat. The premise of the show follows a police detail 35 years in the future. The officers are all partnered with robots that look exactly like humans.

Fox released a synopsis of the show:

"The year is 2048. Meet Detective John Kennex, a cop who survived one of the most catastrophic attacks ever made against the police department. After waking up from a 17-month coma, he can't remember much - except that his partner was killed, he lost one of his legs and he is now outfitted with a highly sophisticated synthetic appendage. By mandate, every cop must partner with a robot. Technician Rudy Lom introduces John to Dorian, a discontinued android with unexpected emotional responses. Although such responses were deemed flaws, it is in these 'flaws' that John relates to Dorian the most."

This show seems like it will deal with familiar issues such as the differences and similarities between humans and robots, but will it be able to take a new angle to captivate audiences? Abrams has had success in the past with shows similiar to Almost Human, especially shows with a futuristic style.

The lead role will be played by "Star Trek" actor Karl Urban. Will you be tuning in tonight to watch the series premiere of Almost Human? If you can't make it to a TV, check out this live online stream:
