On Sunday AMC premiered its new series Humans. The series takes place in an alternate present where people own “Synths,” or synthetics, artificially intelligent human looking servants to help them in their everyday lives.

William Hurt stars as Dr. George Millican, a brilliant scientist who worked on the original Synth project, but has since left. His memories are failing, and his only hope to remember his late wife is his Synth, Odi (Will Tudor), who he treats more like a son than a robot; however, Odi is obsolete and starting to fail as well.

Hurt recently talked to the media about his work on the new series.

The actor talked to SciFi Vision about what it was that first attracted him to the role. “Well, initially it was just the title. And because that's my topic, you know. And then I realized that it was about human beings and machines, but still titled Humans; it was intriguing. And it's about a topic that I've been interested in most of my life.

Humans, a series about “Synths,” artificially intelligent synthetic servants, premiered Sunday on AMC. Stars Katherine Parkinson and Tom Goodman-Hill, who play Laura and Joe Hawkins, recently talked to the media about the series.

The two talked about what first attracted them to the series. Parkinson told SciFi Vision, “I had a three week old baby when I got the script and was sort of hoping that they wouldn't be as good as they were, because I wasn't ready to get back to work so soon. My husband read them and said, “You have to do this” - because of the psychological thriller aspect of it. I just felt I hadn't read anything like it before, because it's sci-fi, but in a domestic setting. It felt like it was a very original way of doing it.”

Goodman-Hill told the site, “I think, just when I read it I felt like my entire life has led to this point, and I needed to be part of it, which sounds kind of flippant, but it's sort of true. I read very much sci-fi as a kid, and as a parent of teenagers, living in a world where my own teenagers engage with technology.

Sunday AMC premiered its new drama series Humans. The show takes place in an alternate present where one of the must-have technological advances is a “Synth.” A Synth is a human-like artificially intelligent servant.

Recently, actress Gemma Chan, who stars as Anita, the Synth acquired by the Hawkins family, talked to the media about her work on the show.

The actress talked to SciFi Vision about the “Synth” training that she did to learn how to correctly play her character’s movements and emotions. “Anita was, you know, a really unique challenge for me really. There was a whole physical aspect of the role which as you mentioned. About a month before we started shooting, those of us in the cast who were playing Synths, did some workshops with an amazing choreographer called Dan O’Neil, and we tried to come up with a universal set of rules for the movement of Synths in the show.
