It's disappointing that this show didn't make to past one season. It's one of the best SciFi series I have watched. The stories are actually believable and intelligently constructed. The effects are well done. The action scenes are 'edge of your seat' stuff. A very entertaining show!
The phrase "Destined for Failure" comes to mind. You really can't make a show like this for network television and expect it to last. The production values are too high to justify it. It needs to be on a premium channel to justify the cost. But then... it didn't last long enough to be canceled for cost cutting reasons. People just, well, in 2013 it seemed like Sci-Fi was failing everywhere. It was like America just wasn't in the mood for it, and back when Almost Human dropped it wasn't cool to be a Geek yet. Only... the show was pretty awesome, I mean we have seen it before when it was a movie and stared Harrison Ford, but to make an entire TV show with that concept was pretty amazing. It had a ton of potential. It was an excellent outing. It was just released when people weren't interested in Science Fiction.
