"DRNs were created to be cops, but they were also created to have souls. They were designed to feel. That makes them unpredictable and is part of what makes this show interesting. These machines are almost human. Almost, but not quite. If we look at the first six episodes as a whole, what we see is how John views Dorian less and less like a machine with each passing day. Dorian views himself less and less like a machine as well. The lines between those who can create and those who are created are getting blurred. The other line getting blurred on Almost Human is the one between the fantasy and reality of the show. One of the things I love about science-fiction is when the fiction is just real enough for the science to seem possible."
