I am trying to settle into Humans but I am having difficulty.  For one thing, the actors are not consistent in their robotic/synth behaviour. Some of the rogue synths seem to follow orders well (like the black guy with the white guy who is trying to find the stolen one), and others like the prostitute that just decided to operate and "escape" totally on her own. The other thing is the british accents of *some* of the actors. When those same actors mumble, it is worse.

Into 1st season episode 2, I am getting the impression that in that world there is a sub-industry of harvesting/stealing synths and reprogramming them for nefarious purposes?  Is that basically it?  And meanwhile, they explore the ethics and the notion of having those things working as slaves for humans?
