The nordic noir is a bit dated in 2015 but we still know that there are plenty of hidden gems out there in Scandinavia. One of the titles often hailed by the TV buffs but yet to get recognised and broadcast by the major channels is Real Humans (Äkta människor), a sci-fi drama set in a world that human droids can be found in almost every house working as your maids or replacing you to work in a car factory.

Humans, an eight-part drama series jointly produced by AMC, Channel 4 and Kudos, is the answer why there is not a slot for them in the major channels - because they have made their own version of it. Written by British writing partnership Sam Vincent and Jonathan Brackley (Spooks, Spooks: The Greater Good), starring William Hurt, Katherine Parkinson, Tom Goodman-Hill, Colin Morgan, Rebecca Front, Neil Maskell, and Gemma Chan, Humans seems to come to our screens in a more theatrical, dramatic gesture.

Humans airs in the UK on Channel 4 on 14 June 9pm and 28June on AMC in the USA. You can see more materials on the official website on AMC.
