The most readily apparent influence on the look and feel of Almost Human is Ridley Scott’s 1982 classic Blade Runner. Wyman and Abrams have denied this as much as possible, but damn near every review, recap, and preview article has made note of this fact for good reason. This world is a cleaner, more sanitized version, but there are definite parallels, like the secretive, back alley medical services, robots being shipped off world when they become too disruptive, and even the apparent direction that cities and culture have evolved. If you need any further proof, just look at the scene where Kennex and Dorian sit down at the open-air food truck. That moment is lifted almost directly from Blade Runner.
