See - told you it'd be a Niska vs Hester death match!

Think that finishes the story - don't think there will be a 3rd series.

I rather enjoyed that last episode - I did think that they might have let Mia die, but waking all the synths up closed it off well.

I'd like to see how this would play out, but it's probably too complicated a story to write...

Or, a third series where all synths are sentient smile

Reading various write ups, it's assumed there will be a third series but who knows!

If that's where it ends it would be suitable. Given Laura's speech to Hestor about Elster creating 'Humans' as perfectly as he has done, all Synths being different and some broken with different views and experiences that shape their life. The show has come full circle.

I would love to see how they portray the initial state of the World after this episode. I don't know where they go with the show from there though! Channel 4 are quite good are leaving a show a little open ended like this though, anyone remember Utopia?

If that was the end of Humans last night, I'd be fine with that, for the reasons you gave. Utopia was cancelled when it still had a story to finish. Dennis Kelly wanted to carry on to finish it, but the one off special never happened. http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015-06-21/neil-mas...

David Fincher's US remake got shot down before it started too http://www.denofgeek.com/tv/utopia/36390/confirmed...

I didn't know that about Utopia. I very very rarely watch an American remake anyway.

I've only just caught up on the last two episodes and genuinely thought they were both excellent (especially the penultimate one).

More tension, action and emotion in those 2 episodes than the rest of the series combined. It did struggle at times with slow pace but kept me watching with good concepts and ideas.

Not sure I want a third series as I can't really see how they'd manage it. Both budget and storytelling would be huge.

Nice to see Hester get her head squidged though and a bit sad that Pete died frown

Just caught up with the last two episodes too. The series has been a little slow in places, but I thought that was an excellent way to end it!

Switched over to E4 afterwards and the Inbetweeners 2 film just happened to be on (which I've never seen). Always seems a bit surreal when you see an actor playing a completely different character when you have only seen them in one role.

Is this a good series? I'm just starting series 1.

I really liked westworld and this looked similar, I'm not sure if it's the British suburban nature of the setting. but it seems a bit. . . .low budget?

Good reviews on IMDb etc.

Give it a whizz and see. I really enjoyed it but it's obviously not for everyone.

Series 1 was very good, at the time, for a home made series, made on a C4 budget.
To be fair, it was very good, and I loved it.
However, I don't think you should compare it to Westworld, which is like a Christopher Nolan Hollywood blockbuster by comparison.

Interesting

The ending did make me think "what are the implications of all this" - I'm hoping it doesn't descend in to a spin on a Terminator type view of life with a war against the machines. Or something like that.

That said. Seeing more of Niska isn't the worst thing in the world smile
