I'm struggling to watch Ep 2 (of C4). I'm watching a few bits here and there on 4od but it's rather lost me. I haven't picked up the characters names, which posters on here obviously have done (who is Leo?) so maybe it's just not for me.
Here's a tip. Like you, I sometimes get confused by who's who when getting into something new. What I do is go on imdb.com and look up the programme on there and check out the cast list. It certainly helps me. |

I was a bit suspicious when he was making his escape from the building and just rolled off the balcony, only to be perfectly caught by Max. Were they communicating???

![]() With IMDB I'll tend to go to the episodes listing rather than 'full cast and crew' to avoid seeing how many episodes anyone was in - though I did once get caught out by the episode list ordering and saw a synopsis of a series finale which was really annoying even if I had already more or less figures out whodunnit. |

Can anyone answer
- why didn't Vera sense that Odi was there? Is the fact that he's an old model enough of a reason why they didn't 'share'? Or is Vera part human? - what was the blue tablet that Niska cut out of her neck? (Bear in mind I know nothing about any sci-fi so if this is a conceit I won't recognise it.) |

I was absolutely convinced she swapped places, and it was only after people on here questioned it that I started to doubt. I watched again and of course no it never happened. I think on first viewing I was seeing a synth in the bag the guy rolled through the warehouse at the very start but when I watched more closely there was none. After that I was too ashamed to come back on here, but I'm sorry for any confusion ![]() ![]()

I'm not going to start wondering whether it's ok to get in my car and drive somewhere or whether my car might feel abused by constantly being at my beck and call!

I do not 100% disagree with that, HOWEVER that is not how the world works, even if the synths were developed by a few companys in competiton (like we get with smart phones) other firms use that technolgy themselves. Our world would now allow for them to develop in a vacum, without parts of them being applied to other things, such as cars.
All this goes double if it turns out that synths used to be humans, or were copied from humans, or similar. Quote:
As for Anita I don't remember any sequence showing her swapping places. We only see her look up at the moon via a skylight. I think she has had a memory wipe but her underlying programming means she's more sentient.

I think you'll find the Colin Morgan character is also a synth, albeit a later generation version, in which case they would appear to act 'normally' when together (nothing to hide, you see).

I'm onto S2 now of Real Humans. Watching the original has me excited to see how they tell this story in Humans

I wonder if there are police or military synths? I'm surprised that it's not illegal to have the droids look like humans.

Humans has to be the most unsettling show I've ever watched. It's a great show but very, very creepy. Anita terrifies me with the way the actor delivers the lines and that blank distant stare.

I think a world where synths exist would be a very creepy one. I wouldn't want one in my house.

I would totally have one if they were just robots. Something that could do the cooking and cleaning would be a dream.

this is the downside to making something appear human, some people will start to view them as such, whilst a washing machine was just a machine we didnt really care, if the machine has a face, and a humanoid body we project feelings on to it.
