I tried watching season 1 of Humans but was jaded by first watching Akta Manniskor (Real Humans), the Swedish series it is based upon. It seems that sometimes a lower production budget yields a better story. Forced to rely instead on the viewer's imagination and subject interest. Especially if it's done with aplomb and intelligence. I found the dialogue in Humans to be too "explanatory." Haven't seen a full episode of Westworld yet, but imagine the same is true. Big budgets tend to to that.

I haven't seen the US Humans but did enjoy the original and found Westworld to be even better in the subtleness category. It's probably due in part to being an original and even higher production values, so you get actual good writers. Maybe also a higher-brow target audience.

  Is there a US version of Humans? It's a recent show and on BBC, I wouldn't think a US version existed yet.

    The series is produced jointly by AMC in the United States, and Channel 4 and Kudos in Britain.
