Seasons 1-2 had the self aware synths finding each other and trying to figure out what to do next. As is always the case, some want to peacefully coexist with humans (Max) and some hate them (Niska initially). But even Max will be tested when his girlfriend Flash is lynched while hunting for supplies Some synths want the same rights as humans.
They struggle with the question of whether to upload Elster's consciousness code into the global synth network (so ALL synths can become self awareness). It doesnt go as planned though and only affects a few random synths.
Orange eyed synths are now being used instead of greenies. They can not gain consciousness so are no threat to humans. Laura has joined a government committee (the Dryden Commission) that will determine what to do about the Anomalous synths. Did they say there were only ~520 left at this point? I'm not sure if that is correct. Laura gets an orange synth named Stanley. Their interactions are pretty humorous at times.
One can not help but see the plight of the synths as they compare to today's political climate the US and UK. It's all about fear, bigotry and ugliness. "Others"--be they immigrants or synths--are viewed as less than human. If they are less than us, do we have to worry about their suffering? Millions of synths "died" since Day Zero but that doesnt compare to the 110,000 humans that were killed. Some people (such as Joe Hawkins) choose to live in gated communities free of synths. The local bar with synths and humans mixed is bombed (injuring Niska's girlfriend Astrid). "Humans" now seems more relevant to our lives than ever.
For a chuckle, check out this "Humans" one off that was done for a Stand Up To Cancer fund raiser. Greg is a replacement synth. It is freakin' hilarious: Greg The Replacement Synth
