I watched the original again on Amazon Prime [free trial] the other week.
It's a brilliant concept and narrative under-used in the 70's script and I'm hoping they give it a great twist and proper storyline without messing it up by being too clever or postmodern. 2015/16's better VFX should make it interesting too - but make no mistake it's going to be the writing that makes this [hopefully] great TV.

I'm hoping JJ Abram's involvement will be good, but a big name is by no means a guarantee of success. JJ Abrams' sci-fi TV series 'Almost Human' was a flop and cancelled after one short season, and Spielberg's 'Falling Skies' has been kept going but has had a pretty luke-warm reception.

Ideas they could explore / might go with;

# The usual 'replicant' becoming self aware / is confused or shocked whether they are real or not. (Bladerunner)

# Human's being used in some way to populate or augment the android poplation. (Disney's The Black Hole)

# Morality and tourists accidentally killing fellow tourists [in the original there were safeguards like the guns wouldn't fire on real humans].
