In the first episode of Humans, we are introduced to a world where advanced humanoid robots, called "synths," have been integrated into society and have become an essential part of many people's lives. We follow the Hawkins family, a typical suburban family struggling with various issues.

Joe Hawkins buys a synth named Anita to help with the household chores. The family has mixed feelings about Anita's arrival, with the only one fully embracing her presence being Joe. His wife, Laura, is initially apprehensive about Anita and believes she is taking over her role in the family, while their children, Mattie and Toby, see her as nothing but an appliance and have a curious fascination with her.

The story takes a dramatic turn when Anita suddenly starts to display peculiar behavior, sparking curiosity to arise. A moment of vulnerability leads Laura to confide in Anita, resulting in a strange, revealing interaction. Meanwhile, George Millican, an elderly synth researcher, questions his caregiver synth's ability, forming a bond with it.

As the synths continue to integrate with society and become more advanced, we see the repercussions of this technological advancement through the different characters intertwined in this story. We meet Leo, a young man displaying signs of having a connection to the synths, and Mia, an extraordinary synth whose purpose and motives remain shrouded in secrecy.

Episode one sets the stage for a compelling story exploring the intricacies of human and synth relationships, the ethics behind creating these sentient machines, and the consequences that arise through their existence. With a stellar cast and thoughtful writing, Humans wastes no time drawing us into a captivating world where technology has blurred the lines between humanity and artificial intelligence. It's a show that raises thought-provoking questions about the responsibility of technological innovations and the idea of what it means to be human.
