Much of the series will be revelatory. .... Ms. Al-Shamahi maintains a kind of breathlessness throughout, an air of earnest astonishment, which becomes a bit repetitive. Her apparent fear is that we viewers need to be reminded of, and impressed by, how remarkable so much of the human past has been. We probably do. .... Detective work of a very advanced order and, “Human” makes it accessible.
