Almost Human

The previews look interesting. The story is ripped off (one hopes they give some credit to) Isaac Asimov. His robot stories introduced the famous Three Laws of Robotics.

This show is a lot like the 1954 novel, The Caves of Steel in which a human police detective is forced to partner with an android. New York City (and all cities on earth) are now domed and gigantic. The detective hates robots but of course warms to his partner as they solve a murder cause with political connotations. The 2 appeared in 2 sequels.
