Sci-Fi This Week: Humans’ First Season Finale

AMC’s gripping new science fiction drama is wrapping up its first season this Sunday night. But don’t worry, Humans fans! The show has been renewed for a second season.

This week everything comes to a head as Hobb attempts to extract Dr. Elster’s secret to artificial human consciousness from his prisoners — and the Hawkins family finally unites in order to rescue one of their own.

Also this week: The women of Defiance work to free Nolan from Kindzi’s clutches, while on Killjoys Dutch and John try and turn the tables on Khlyen — the mysterious man who raised Dutch to be an assassin.
