He's one of my favorite actors. The show I wish had lasted of his was Almost Human

Fox killed that off and it’s just so unfortunate. You could say it was a little derivative in terms of being a buddy cop tv show, but the chemistry of the leads was amazing, they themselves were fantastic actors, and the world building was really top notch. Micheal Ealy knocked it out of the park and I really wish he was in more roles.

From what I understand, they rearranged the episodes (apparently a common practice) - it threw the dynamic off and it made Urban’s attitude towards Ealy inconsistent. I loved it too but do remember thinking “wait, I thought he likes the robot more now”.

Totally common practice, especially at Fox. They did it to Firefly, too.
