Then drop the sci-fi pretense then. I knew this show was going to jump the shark pretty quickly when they brought out the sexbots in Episode 2. We always knew that was inevitable but to start with a whole plotline about that so quickly shows how little material they have. If you want real science fiction go watch a subtitled version of Sweden's Akta Manniksor. Fortunately Almost Human shouldn't last more than a season, with the ratings it's getting.
