Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a small audience and a quick end and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for sci-fi fans.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
2 seasons: a few weeks of evenings, hour-long episodes, about 20 hours in all.
What might put you off
It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).

Set in a parallel universe, Real Humans imagines a world where robots have become so human that they're barely distinguishable from real humans and follows the resulting emotional effects on two families as well as the trials of a group of robots who have attained free will and want their freedom from human ownership.
