Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow...
Only time for a very quick review tonight, as we are in the midst of the madness of the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour...
The eighth episode aired is the second that was shot in Almost Human's freshman season, and is the one I was most concerned about. It seemed that if they'd delayed it this long, only to air the episode just before the series takes a three-week hiatus, that "You Are Here" would likely be one of the weaker offerings. As it turns out, it was one of the strongest to date.
All of the elements of the show were in balance. The "magic bullet" storyline offered an imaginative take on possible future tech that could be used by a criminal underground, which is an inherent promise in the series' premise that Almost Human hasn't always fulfilled. We want this sci-fi police drama to explore what is possible, even if it's improbable. There ought to be an element of larger-than-life ideas that we're still able to buy in these cases. We saw some of that, here.
