Is anyone else out there watching "Almost Human"? It's the lead in to "Sleepy Hollow" so that helped hook me. I'm enjoying the relationship between the main characters and the sci fi aspect is fun. If I witnessed a crime I'd much rather appear in court as a hologram too. Also where can I get some clones? I have a lot of work to do and having a few extra clones would definitely help. And per "Orphan Black" the first rule of Clone Club is don't talk about Clone Club.Episode 4 "The Bends"
A deadly new drug called 'the Bends' is wreaking havoc on the streets, supplied by a mysterious criminal called "Bishop". The only way to take him down is from the inside, which means Kennex and Dorian need to help Rudy infiltrate the Bishop's organization as a drug cook. The murder of undercover narcotics detective Cooper, and the initial assumption is he was a supplier as there is no official report of his undercover work, but Kennex knew the victim and works to clear his name. Kennex and Dorian follow the leads, and Ruby makes a batch of 95% pure 'Bends' which has him meet the 'Bishop'. 'Bishop' is actually Alexio Baros the captain of the 25th precinct narcotics who was supposedly investigating the Bishop. Kennex catches him and 'neutralizes' him for his corruption and killing an old friend of his.
Episode 5 "Blood Brothers"
Two women saw a genius philanthropist, Ethan Avery, commit the murder of a geneticist in fertility, Dr. Liam Fuller, even though he has an airtight alibi. When one of the witnesses is killed, Kennex and Dorian have to keep the remaining witness, Maya, safe and solve the murder. Maya got a procedure which allows her to talk to the souls on the other side. It is later discovered the geneticist once was a specialist in cloning before legislation banned the science. When Kennex and Dorian are taking Maya to the precinct, they are intercepted by gunmen. Kennex kills one who is the spitting image of Ethan Avery, which leads to the belief that Avery knew Dr. Fuller because Fuller cloned Avery. Maya was shot in the shoulder and hospitalized, where she bonds and shares with Dorian. She got the procedure to be psychic to talk to her parents on the other side, but a fire destroyed their possessions, so now she never can. The gunmen found Maya because the MRX guarding the witnesses was destroyed and his police comm-link was taken. Det. Stahl goes to see Dr. Fuller's mother, where she finds the evidence of cloning, but is captured and used as a hostage by Avery's clones. Ethan killed Dr. Fuller because Fuller wanted to publish his findings, whereas Ethan wanted soldiers to do his dirty work and have alibis. At the rendezvous, the clones see thorough the ploy and make a run for it, only for Dorian to catch up and flip their van, killing the clones. Maya testifies and Avery goes to prison, Dorian visits Maya later and tells her that he looked into the arson case involving her parents. Later, Kennex and Stahl watch the soccer game while drinking Bourbon, which Maya predicted earlier
Grade: 4 Monsters (out of 5). A light entertaining sci fi ride.
