Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Also known as Äkta Människor (original title), Real Humans is a Swedish Science Fiction drama series that first aired on SVT in 2012 and has been sold to more than 40 countries. The shows deals with a parallel present where humanoid robots ("hubots") have gained a significant place in society. Humans use them as domestic help, workers, or even as sex toys.But their condition also causes debates between humans. Some think they should be treated like humans, have rights and be respected; others, like the "Äkta Människor" (aka "the Real Humans", a political party where the title comes from) think they are a nuisance and should be exterminated. And then there are the "Children of David", a bunch of wild and free yet dangerous, rebellious hubots with obscure goals.In 2015, the series got a British remake called Humans.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Polar Opposite Twins | |
| Real Humans / int_4dd46feb | comment |
Polar Opposite Twins: The robot twins Flash and Gordon starts out as being the same except for being of different genders. In the middle of the season, however, they take very different paths: Gordon develops into a morally upstanding Christian, while Flash develops into a despicable habitually lying Manipulative Bitch and homophobic conservative bigot. However, Flash makes it quite clear that she is the way she is because she's deeply unhappy with her life. Which leaves it open that he may or may not change in the future. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: This pretty much sums up the underlying premise of the entire series, and is illustrated by human characters befriending hubots and acting upset if they are "hurt" or dismantled, and by hubots who exhibit human traits such as compassion, love, and revenge. | |

I Want My Jet Pack | |
| Real Humans / int_a567f7f2 | comment |
I Want My Jetpack: Non-hubot technology, such as cars, kitchen devices and mobile phones, seems rather old-fashioned. When characters travel by subway, they use 1950s cars, though most cars in Stockholm are futuristic-looking 2000s models. The series' writers have cited The Singularity in computer and mobile phone technology as inspiration for the rapid development of hubots. | |

| Real Humans / int_ca5eda76 | comment |
Heteronormative Crusader: Flash against the priest and her wife.note If this confuses any international readers, please note that the story is set in Sweden. The Church of Sweden has female priests, and it also recognizes same-sex marriage since 2009. Her homophobia has a strong undertone of Boomerang Bigot: Flash desires to have a real relationship, and dismisses the human lesbian couple for not being able to have children together - something that she herself will never be able to have in any relationship, heterosexual or otherwise. | |

Hypocrite: Theresa and Pilar. Both claim their relationships with hubots are something that should be respected and viewed in the same light as a human pairing. However the dynamic between the couples is very one-sided. Both illegally modify them to suit their own needs, not to help them be more independent. What happens when they decide to head out for a ladies-only night out and Rick protests? They casually switch off Bo and Rick so they don't have to argue. Later when matters become worse between her and Rick, Theresa and Pilar casually discuss selling him off like he's a stolen car, not her supposed lover. | |

| Real Humans / int_fcf6bca9 | comment |
Robosexual: Everywhere between the humans and hubots. Oh, and one cyborg. Between Leo Eischer actually being born a human but after he died was recreated as a cyborg and the hubot Mimi. Tobbe towards the reprogrammed Mimi (now called Anita). Later he realises he is only attracted to hubots, making him probably the most literal example of this trope on the show. Likely between Leo's father and Bea the hubot recreation of his dead wife. Roger towards Bea, though he is unaware that she's a hubot. Roger's wife Therese, who leaves him for her hubot personal trainer Rick. Therese's friend Pilar towards her hubot Bo. Hubot Flash is probably hoping to find a robosexual guy, to fulfill her fantasy of having a normal life with a human husband. And the existence of hubot brothels/strip-clubs such as Hubot Heaven. | |
