Real Humans - Äkta människor

Anyone interested in discussing the show? I'm currently a few episodes into the first season (first watch). The show floats around the inet in Swedish, French and German with English subs. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2180271/

Yes! I've seen both seasons, but I can bite my tongue. I hope it's not too spoily to say that there will definitely be a season 3 at some point.

I had to get the Swedish shows and download the subs separately, but it works. I can hugely recommend this programme.

I found this and was hugely excited for a sci-fi show that wasn't US or UK made. But I don't think I got past ep 3 of the first season.

Still, if others are willing to hang in there and discuss, I'm willing to try again. Part of the problem may be the subs. Maybe more nuances than usual are being lost? Maybe I just dislike not being able to multitask?

We'd also need a set day for when posts go up and maybe an accelerated pace since the first two seasons are already done.

Yes! I watched this series at the end of last year. Fantastic show. Very interested in discussion about this. I'll even rewatch it :D

Awesome, folks! Seems like it'll be a small group :-). So, what's good for everybody? 1 or 2 or more episodes per week? On which days should we post? There are 2 seasons in total, with 10 eps each.

P.S.: I just noticed that the Wikipedia entry lacks proper descriptions for the episodes (I didn't read the existing descriptions, there might be SPOILERS.) Same goes for IMDB. I am inclined to write up and add descriptions to Wikipedia, but I've never contributed there. If anyone has advice on that front or wants to participate, I am all ears!

I vote for two eps on Saturdays.

I have no great love for Wikipedia so I can't you there.

Also, spoilers don't bother me.

Two eps on Saturdays is okay with me. How about you, Grangousier and snwod? If I don't hear back, I'll probably post the first two eps on Saturday.

That's fine by me!

Thanks, Grangousier! Hope snwod will chime in. I'll post episodes 1 and 2 on Saturday (16th). Will also rewatch 'em. Next Saturday someone else can post.

Okay, both eps now submitted and waiting in the queue.

Good morning, everyone!

I'm still on ep 4! (Extant and Intruders have been taking up my viewing time.)
