"The Hawkins family buy a latest tech gadget--robot servant called a Synth in the opener of this series based on a Swedish sci-fi drama. They soon begin to suspect, however, that they may be in danger from this highly-developed machine and the man in search of her......
*Set in a "parallel present," Humans -- which is a co-production between AMC and the U.K.'s Channel 4, which debuted the show a couple weeks ago -- imagines a world where people live alongside synthetic beings that can clean your house, cook your dinner or even check your blood pressure. And although the show clearly suggests that some of these Synths are more than mindless cans filled with wires and code, the dread stems from just how un-sci-fi this world feels now that our iPhones talk to us and help us organize our life......
"We don't want to show this world as a dystopia or a utopia; we want to show the pros and cons of this world," executive producer Jonathan Brackley (http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/jonathan-brackley/653133/) tells TVGuide.com.

His solution? Purchasing Anita (Gemma Chan (http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/gemma-chan/324909/)), a beautiful Synth who will do the housework while allowing the Hawkins to be more of a family. The decision is met with the approval of both teenage son Toby (Theo Stevenson (http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/theo-stevenson/821835/)) -- mostly thanks to his raging hormones -- and youngest daughter Sophie (Pixie Davies (http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/pixie-davies/382562/)), who is thrilled to have a surrogate mommy read her bedtime stories. More skeptical are eldest daughter Mattie (Lucy Carless), who is blowing off her schoolwork since Synths are securing the jobs of the future and Laura, who is nervous about how this new technology will impact her children's development.....
