Almost Human: "Beholder" Review

"A little help here!"

             Wow! #RenewAlmostHuman already shows up when I begin hash tagging it! Great job guys! Now onto "Beholder". We got some laughs as was expected but this episode I feel we focused a little more on Valerie Stahl, the Chrome that broke the genetic mold, which is great because at first I thought she was a little bland but she started to grow on me as the season went on and we found out some things about her. Beauty is only skin deep but in the future looks can kill.

Extreme Face Lift!

      John has had no luck in the dating department. It's nice to see him play the field again but we never really see him with anyone! We all know Dorian can sometimes be very blunt though. Maybe John is boring? Although John's date did take every call that came her way so I get why John didn't answer his phone. The laughing portion was great though. I love it when John and Dorian shoot back and forth, jabbing each other like guys do. Best part had to be Dorian saying he erased his memory of John's smart bed because apparently it was traumatizing. Forget the walls, the bed has the best stories to tell.

Why was Maldonado the only 1 who saw how hot the victims were?

     How much will someone pay for perfection? If you're not lucky enough to be born a Chrome then plastic surgery is an option, but don't do the nano-tech procedure. A serial killer who kills people to get their best feature to give himself. I found it funny that Captain Maldonado was the only woman in the room who noticed how good looking all the victims were. Even Valerie didn't catch that! But the biggest irony for this killer was the girl he wanted to look perfect for was blind! Also it took a suicide to give John the courage to ask Valerie out, only to get shot down.

Chrome or not, this girl is perfect

Wow, a Chrome who's not a jerk

     Speaking of Valerie, there was a little more focus on her in this episode. We also got to peer deeper into the world of Chromes. Apparently a Chrome becoming a cop or a sculptor seems beneath a person who was genetically altered. I loved seeing Stahl throw down with the blond (who I think is the perfect bitch). Yet at the club she met a fellow Chrome who's not a douche bag. He seemed more approachable, more charming and courteous. But that means a rival for John Kennex. When John finally got up the courage to ask Stahl out on a date, he finds that she already had a date and it was with another Chrome! I guess good things can only wait so long before they get tired of someone sitting on their ass. 

"You see DiCarlo anywhere?" "No..."

"Hey, DiCarlo!" "Damn it, Kennex!"

        The best tech of the episode was the exo-suit! Kennex just socked that big woman and out popped a little angry man! I hope we get a season 2 just out of the hope we can see John's CI in the robo-suit again. Also the 4-D play station? That's just so cool. Sony should get on that quick!

If you want cake have cake before someone else eats it, Kennex.

       All in all a pretty solid episode. John and Dorian continue their fantastic chemistry with quick rapport. We got to learn a bit more about Valerie and something else about Rudy being a child model. Next serial beauty killer I hope John will keep Rudy well informed. Only ONE episode left, guys. We are trending but we have to keep it up. Fingers crossed for Season 2!

Way less gross than a real body.
