Showtime is deciding what synthetic creatures live — and which ones die — on their new drama Syns (formerly Doll's Hospital). Based on a British TV series, Syns is set in a world filled with "humanlike" synthetic organisms that are used for all sorts of purposes — from menial labor to sex. The show will be produced by Jericho's John McNamara and Supernatural's Sera Gamble. [The Hollywood Reporter]
