A man working for the police is tasked to hunt down murderous artificial humans.

Moody and mostly-slow, relying heavily on the setting. It’s good, and not just “good for it’s time”. It has a spectacular tone and style to it; definitely recommended.

A rough and tough detective is begrudgingly partnered with the first detective of alien refugees, and they follow the trail of his previous partner’s death.

An scout tracks the origin of Voyager 2, only to be attacked on the way down and forced to adapt to make it there with human methods.

A very well acted, 1980s budget but with a lot of locations and a great story. Truly recommended.
