Pain is in the mind. Presumably their mind processes it differently (like a human) after they've received the code that gives them consciousness.

That sounds about right, I'm sure there was also something about choice and if anyone can remember what Niska said about it before/after she went *justifiably) postal that might be our collective enlightenment. I think they can pretend to be in 'drone mode' but can not switch off the consciousness and pain or it's none or both and nothing in between?

I knew I should have re-watched the first series

Me too, I can't recall many of the series one plot details like how the police officer found out his partner was a plug-in. It was on eighteen months ago though, so we can be forgiven for not remembering all the minutiae.

That dot-com billionaire is highly annoying.

Perhaps the show is trying to be realistic?

With newly pin backed ears as well.

Joining in the Odie love on here. I cheered when he appeared on screen.

I'm really enjoying the start of this series. Lots of big, important stories being set up, and the world has expanded in a realistic way while still focusing on the characters we care about. This is currently the best British TV series IMO.

Odie is the best.

I'm glad you noticed this. I am convinced he had them pinned between the series of The Fall.

Good post, agree 100% especially BIB

He does do a damn fine impression of a Windows 10 afficted synth alright.

Tom Goodman-Hill and Ivanno Jeremiah are on Sunday Brunch.

They have just confirmed that they a storylining a season 3.

Watching episode 3 now ; it's pulled me in again. I found the the first series quite disturbing.
Now the synth androids are manipulating our World. Scary!

How did you get to watch it early! (Jealous icon?)

Hoping the plot moves forward a bit tonight, only eight episodes in series 2 as far as I know.

Does anyone else think Gemma Chan is dressed a bit like a flippin' teletubby ?

why did the detective synth abandon the rest of them?

Was I the only one who assumed (wrongly) that the girl with Trinity at the waterfall was her lover, not her daughter?

There's just not enough Odi.

I'm glad he's conscious.

Since Athena wouldn't sigh the papers to take Trinity off the machines kept thinking Trinity is Athena sister.

Ohh, so it was her sister then? Guess I should mention that when I say Trinity, I mean Carrie-Anne Moss who plays Dr. Athena Morrow on the show but is probably most famous for playing Trinity in the Matrix trilogy. Just for anyone who was wondering.

No I thought so too

Athena looking for a body for Trinity to have, since she's looking in the the five synths wonder if she gets her hands on to Mia, Niska or the synth cop lady so Trinity can have one of their bodies. Since Leo dad brought him back, still eating and ageing as a human Leo could be the key Athena looking for to bring Trinity out of her coma.

Carrie-Anne Moss does great work in her films, she was great in Jessica Jones, it's great she's in humans 2.

God could this get more languid and soporific?

Scientist woman wants to help her daughter.
Is Niska adequately sentimental.

Could have done it all in ten minutes.
This is very much lacking momentum.

Nope. Me too.


I thought it was a great episode, exploring "human" themes. They don't all have to be "whizz-bang" and action every five minutes

I actually forgot it was on... *blush*
