Humans (TV) S1
Started watching Humans for Will Tudor's sake but GOD it is such a good show!! I don't usually watch or read sci-fi but this is really good!! Just finished season 1 in 2 days. I need to calm down a bit before digging into season 2.
Odi and George's storyline is the warmest and the most heartbroken. His clothing makes him look like a little child and I just want to hug him till the end of time. I adore George's characteristics as well. He is a scientist but also full of perception of humanity and emotion. Seems like a stubborn old fool but is actually very wise.
I like Leo instantly and it surprises me. As much as I like Merlin, I didn't pay much attention to the fact that Colin Morgen is in Humans before I watched it. However, Leo just stands out to me and I really like his unique way of talking and moving. His love for his family is so strong and moving. He looks so broken when he cries in contrast to the tough, spiky first impression. And when he smiles it's so bright and sweet I remember that he is the same actor as Merlin.
I love Leo and Max together. Max is such a sweet little brother. His fake synth smile is creepy, but his real smile is the sweetest thing in the world!!! I also really like it when Max tries to pray to god. it just strikes some weak spots in my heart.
Mattie is my favourite female character here. I didn't like her at first, but inside she was actually kind and passionate and doesn't afraid to act. Really admire her. I didn't expect that it would be her to bring back Mia to her family.
I quite like Detective Karen's storyline as well. She gave a different and quite logical opinion on the consciousness code matter. Her emotional journey is also striking! Her face is so expressive. And her ending is heartwarming~~ The best "back to normal"

Humans (Leo Elster) Whumplist
Character: Leo Elster (played by Colin Morgan)
Age Rating: TV-14 (or 16+)
Show available on Prime Video
(The styling of this whumplist is inspired by @love-me-a-lotta-whump who has an amazing blog, go check them out!)
Genre: Sci-Fi, Found Family, Action, Dystopian, Ensemble
Synopsis: In a parallel present where the latest technology is a “Synth” (an eerily humanoid service robot), a struggling family purchases one of their own, only to find that there’s more to her than meets the eye. Meanwhile, a mysterious young man aims to reunite his family.
Note: This show is honestly amazing, but I have to warn y’all, it was canceled after Season 3 and never got a proper ending. It’s still a very enjoyable watch, and the whump is amazing. Colin Morgan gives an incredible performance as always, and Gemma Chan might be the highlight of this series.
TW’s: If I have any younger followers, please be careful with this show if you aren’t older than 14. It gets very dark and deals with themes of s*icide and s*xual assault (both shown on-screen at points), and has some gore and violence. One of the main characters is forced into s*x work, and there are multiple scenes involving/referencing this (especially in season 1). There is also blood and gore, though it’s not as disturbing sometimes especially since most of it involves blue-blooded robots (who can be healed fairly easily).
List Key:
bold = most whump, best whump, or favorite whump scenes
~~ = scene break
(italicized parentheses) = personal note/additional non-whump moments i wanted to list
THIS LIST CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES!
