Humans

A quick switch from film to TV, Channel 4's 'Humans' is the British remake of Swedish TV programme 'Real Humans'. The show explores the idea of robots replacing humans. A handful of these synthetic humans are different, they can think and feel, this could spell disaster for the human race.

It seems like a concept that is s long way off, however development of robots is becoming closer and closer to creating reality out of shows such as 'Humans'. Take the robotic receptionist for example that welcomes guest to a department store in Tokyo. We could be closer than we think to creating virtually human robots!!

I am not usually a huge fans of stories regarding robots taking over the world, however so far I have enjoyed watching 'Humans'. Maybe this is because it is set in places and situations that I can relate too, the main characters being a normal family with a normal house with  jobs and schools to go to. It makes it all seem a bit more real.

Further to this it stars  actor Colin Morgan, best know for playing Merlin, in BBC's 'Merlin'. This was one of my favourite shows when I was younger so it is interesting to see him in a different role. He works alongside Gemma Chan, Katherine Parkinson, Tom Goodman- Hill and many more to create a vision of what human life may be like in the future.

The series continues on channel 4 Sunday 5th July at 9pm
