I JUST WATCHED ALMOST HUMAN WITH MY DAD YESTERDAAAAAY.
It was so damn good, but all I wanted to know was the statistics. If crime rises 400% there's got to be some sort of reason. I want to know what the economy is like, I want to know how far (if at all) human rights has gotten. (maybe a little farther than it is now because they have a new group of 'things' to discriminate against.) I want to know the quality of life for your average person and not a police officer. I doubt that synthetic limbs are average for your everyday citizen.
At the same time, it's slightly hard to watch, as someone who has the potential to be seen as not human. Seen as not human or an 'it' by really horrible people, but still. This was actually the first time I thought about 'it' as a pronoun and it's potential for negativity. (not that I would ever use 'it' for anyone except when absolutely requested, but that I wondered what it would be like as a pronoun for me. I've learned that I would not like it at all.)
So basically I like this show so that I can pick it apart anthropologically but I'm a little wary of the treatment and rights of humans and sentient beings.
