Agreed, both shows are/were great, but from what I was seeing, The Following has an average of almost double the viewer numbers that Almost Human did. Although to be honest, if I had to choose one which would be renewed, it would have been Almost Human. The Following is a tremendous, amazing show, but as a fan of good sci-fi, I feel like shows along the lines of Almost Human are much less common.

They had established solid characters with deep backgrounds, they had a great cast, and there was so much still left to develop for that world. What's beyond the wall? How is a synthetic soul really made? Why was Dorian having those memories? Who exactly was John's ex-girlfriend, and how is she tied to everything from his past?

I tell you what though, I really do hope this series gets sold to Netflix. Or the potentially more clever thing for the Fox network to do, would be to push it over to FX or FXX for a season, and see if it holds similar numbers there (although that doesn't sound probable if they are cancelling it outright). All I know is, I'd be deeply disappointed if a single 12 episode season is all we ended up getting from that universe.
