Unique Show, Full of Joy

[lemonice · 9/10 · 19 December 2015]

I'm not understanding the hate this show is getting. I get that the show probably didn't go where a lot of people thought it would, being a sort of continuation of the 2011 movie "Limitless" but honestly, the way people seem to think it should of gone is boring in my opinion. Every show out there seems to be full of heavy content and really dark, and this show, while still having some heavy themes, is like watching the show equivalent of a rainbow. And I love that! It's light, it's funny, it's well-cast (despite what people say about the lead, who, IMO, is the best part of the show) and it doesn't need to go in a darker, more intricate direction. I mean, also consider that as I write this, the season is only half done, and there's plenty time for more political intrigue or whatever people seem to think this show is lacking. But in my opinion it's a good show as it is now: it's refreshing. It's similar to a cop show, but it is unique because it's not about a cop, it's about a guy effectively functioning as a human Guinea pig for cops. It's a different perspective. It's about how his job, and the drug, affect his life.

It's not a Netflix show or an HBO show so don't go in expecting something like House of Cards... it's great for what it is, and that is a sometimes cheesy network show. I love this show and it's my favorite on TV right now, it makes me happy, and it's nice to watch after a long day. I don't know why people were expecting some sort of break out crime drama rated MA because if you recall the film that this show gets its premise from was mediocre at best. There's nothing wrong with this show that can't be summed up by saying that it's not your cup of tea. If you like happy, funny shows, with realistic and dimensional characters and quick-witted scripts, then you'll like this show.

Really Hope They Continue This..

[lopez731 · 9/10 · 29 October 2015]

I showed up pretty late.. I didn't even know there was a TV series until I was curious one night and looked up "Real Life NZT" I didn't find anything.. but I found out CBS has a t.v series for the actual movie.

Man.. I gave it a shot, and its actually a really good series (in my opinion) I've never written a review for a movie or for a TV show or anything before. after watching the whole first season in two nights, i had to find a forum or blog or SOMETHING that I could use to write about this TV show.

its awesome! i love it. its cheesy and corny at times but it actually makes me laugh. legitimate chuckles! great show, i would be very disappointed to see that they won't make a second season. At least a second season.. come on pleaseeee

sincerely, jacob

I want season 2!

[tamaragebhart · 9/10 · 5 April 2020]

In my opinion this show proves that serious topics can be approached from a funny angle. The main character, Brian, is a kind hearted highly moral person who also happens to ve extremely goofy; so when it comes to solving cases with the FBI he can be hilarious as well as effective. I loved the show and I'm sad that it didn't get a second season.

Remarkable, exciting and funny.

[auxjohn · 10/10 · 4 November 2015]

Limitless is a show based on a movie of the same name. They both live in the same universe in which a pill called NZT-48 unlocks the full potential of a subjects mind. This show manages to make interesting characters and plots, without losing the main idea of the show. The best part about this show, has to be the protagonist, Bryan Finch, played by Jake McDorman. The protagonist has a way of looking at things and portraying them to the audience that gives us some comedy relief that the movie didn't really have. That's also one of the strongest parts of the series, the comedy. I didn't really think this series was going to make me laugh or smile at how the character looks at things. And to make the series even better, they made an episode that was a total homage to Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

This is a truly remarkable series that will, if it continues this way, become a fan favorite over the years. Must watch for anyone who likes crime TV shows and comedy, this show blends them perfectly, making it one of the best TV shows on air right now.

Great premise; lazy execution - analysis why it was cancelled

[johnnymonsarrat · 8/10 · 14 February 2020]

I love this show because of the premise and the idea that we could all improve our lives by just making smarter choices. It's also fun with a likable protagonist.

Even though I would have loved to see a season two, I can understand why this show was cancelled.

-- The protagonist, Brian is laid back. I get it. He's showing that he's a regular guy the audience can identify with. But ultimately, it undercuts tension for him to be a party dude in a thriller. A show that played this well was Psych.

-- The show is laden with soap opera dramas that linger too much on emotion and don't ultimately change the big story. Whenever the father shows up, for example.

-- Although the show has a high-level story arc, it is fragmented. Without a strong sense of purpose, and momentum, the high-level story can't be gripping. I got the sense that there wasn't a well-mapped-out big idea driving the backstory and mystery, but rather guesswork by the writers.

-- Beyond the high-level story, the procedural nature of the show underserves its premise (an intelligence pill), and the smart cop thing has been done before. It's Sherlock Holmes all over again. It's so repetitive that the show has to keep coming up with unusual crimes and unusual crime-solving methods. But a TV show shouldn't be about the mechanics; it should be about the people. The premise naturally leads to more of a thriller / horror / drama like Breaking Bad or The Man in the High Castle.

-- Plot holes take us out of the show. I get it, a cop show isn't supposed to be realistic. But there are some sloppy twists and turns, choices that don't make sense for the characters or their organizations.

-- The show seemed caught between celebrating the intelligence drug and showcasing the horrors of addiction. You can't do both. It learned more towards the celebrating. I read online that the superpowers coming through a pill-based drug was a major factor in the show not being renewed. It's too close to the implication, "taking cocaine is okay if it makes you productive".

-- Finally, and most fatally, one of the show's heroes is under the thumb of (omitted), and gives in too much, seeming not to be bothered when crimes are committed. A protagonist with moral failures becomes less likable, less easy to root for. There should have been a giant struggle there instead of camaraderie, like in Daredevil and Luke Cage fighting the organized crime trying to blackmail them.

A lot of TV shows have a bumpy first season, for example Star Trek the Next Generation or Veep. I would love to have seen if they could have turned this into a miracle show. And I still love the premise. But I think structurally, there was too much wrong with this. So I can see why they cancelled it.

Wonderful

[jujureynolds · 10/10 · 11 December 2015]

I LOVE This show. It is the freshest thing on the air along with "Spotless", which is another category entirely.

What are so many of these reviewers not seeing?

The scripts are funny, clever, beautifully implemented. The characters are truly realized. It's fun and current, light and bright.

I had my doubts as to how a series would be constructed based on the movie, which I also very much enjoyed. But I could not see how the show would stretch for episodic TV. Bringing joyful Brian in lifts the darker material. The dialogue is quick and spot on. It's apparent a great deal of effort has gone into this production, and I am grateful for it.

I have relished every single episode.

Great entertainment! I loved the movie and really enjoyed the pilot.

[roguecritic42 · 10/10 · 27 September 2015]

I don't get all these bad reviews. Anyways, I loved it. Jake McDorman I liked seeing on screen again, I remember watching him in Greek, a show I loved to watch. Jennifer Carpenter brings back all the fond memories I had of watching Dexter. Bradley Cooper, the Academy Award winning actor who stared in the original Limitless movie, come on! what more could you ask for in an acting cast?

Now to the show: If your like me and loved shows like Elementary, the Sherlock reboot, The Mentalist, Forever, etc, etc, then I think you'll like this TV show.

I can't get enough of shows like that. I've seen people criticize that type of genre, and because of that I don't think they should be commenting on this show at all. The "gimmick" of limitless has great potential. I look forward to seeing where they take it. This is not just a show about someone with genius observational skills like Elementary or Mentalist, it goes a step further. If you saw the movie you know what kind of effect NZT can have on a person, and it allows writers to take great creative liberties. I hope they really explore the limits of someone on NZT. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of this season. I'm voting the first episode a 10 out of 10, because I couldn't have possibly enjoyed a pilot episode any more than I enjoyed this one. It felt like a genuine movie and I look forward to seeing the rest of this season.

Too convenient...

[Dr_Sagan · 19 September 2015]

This is NOT an adaptation of "Limitless" (the movie) but more like its continuance. It picks up where the movie ended.

Bradley Cooper reprises his role as the NZT addict who became a senator and researched the drug to make it better (without its deadly side-effects). As I am reading you will get at least a glimpse of him in every episode.

Jake McDorman is the new guy without limits. He's OK but nothing to write home about.

The first minutes of the pilot are filled with visual effects (including the liquid limitless zoom-in effect of the movie).

The plot seems "too convenient" though. Brian Sinclair (Jake McDorman) has all the evidents against him for 2 murders and he actually robs a bank later on, yet he walks free and he becomes a mentalist-like consultant for the FBI! I suspect, even afraid, that this might become a procedural police drama and the NZT is only an excuse to have some weird sherlock-ish deductions at the crime scenes. Don't forget other series like "Forever" where the immortality was also an excuse for a supreme deduction logic and not fully explored as a meaningful plot element.

Is it fun or entertaining? So far my answer is "meh"! Especially if I'm right and this turns to be "a case per episode for a quirky consultant of the police" kind of series like hundreds other that I'm bored to watch.

Overall: Will see...

UPDATE: After a 4-5 more serious episodes the show turned to be a weird quirky kind of comedy...I see some like it some hate it. See and decide...

The premise has promise

[phd_travel · 7/10 · 23 September 2015]

I remember the movie was a bit irritating. But a series is different. It's potentially interesting to see a high functioning brain as a super power. The premise does have quite a lot of stories that can spring from this idea for future episodes.

Jake McDorman is pleasant enough to watch as an everyday Joe stumbling upon unique gifts. Jennifer Carpenter has an interesting face though she is highly improbable as a romantic interest. Bradley Cooper does add a bit of gravitas to the show being all A list now.

The pilot at least has some well done on location NYC filming. So production values look quite high.

Worth giving it a chance to develop and see how it goes.

Brilliant

[justshutupandwatchit · 8/10 · 20 July 2019]

How this didn't get renewed for a second season is baffling. There wasn't one episode I didn't like. The main character, Brian, is just great, as are the rest of the actors. It has just the right amount off comedy mixed with some pretty dark stuff too, plus really cool visual effects thrown in. Some shows seem to plod along, episode to episode, without much else really going on, but this isn't one of those shows. lots of really clever stuff and 'how the hell is he going to get out of this one' type scenarios, without it being over the top. I've watched it twice and I'm STILL annoyed it ended!

Limitless, A Decent start.

[snarkyphilo · 7/10 · 23 September 2015]

This was perhaps one of the most enjoyable premieres that have been viewed this week, perhaps this month even.

The cinematography is great, the use of cool tones and warm tones for the lighting and colour filter to indicate when the main character was on and off the drug was clever, the Sherlock-esque special effects to indicate his thought patterns were a nice edition, but not too overwhelming, and the characters engagement with different parts of the city, while high for the first time were well done. The music was also well chosen, fitting well with the tone and enhancing the light hearted action as well as the tenser scenes.

The characters are engaging with just the right amount of personability, and the beginnings of an instantly interesting dynamic between them. The main character is delightful, with the "average guy" sort of feel that the show was trying to get at, and his internal monologues throughout this experience are reminiscent of Spiderman without being too overwhelming or annoying. The FBI agent Rebecca Harris seems alright, but doesn't have much going for her yet other than the usual clichés of her character type (crime related tragic past the is the only motivation of the female FBI agent) The premise itself, while coming from a film, transfers over well onto television, and you get just the right amount of mystery, action, and interactions to pull it off. The plot progression for the episode moved at a good clip, presenting story and characters in exactly the right way to engage the viewers. The only thing that could be a complaint is that the story of a super-enhanced/powered average shmuck who ends up helping to solve crimes has been quite overused (Chuck, The Invisable Man, The Listener, etc.). But as long as they work with it in an engaging and entertaining way and not fall into the inherent clichés and tropes of this trope (ex. Sexy female partner becomes love interest), it shouldn't be too much of a problem. The mysterious bearded figure (a bit of a thing in shows this week) Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper, the original main character from the film) is just the right amount of politely sinister. Though you would need to watch the original film to get the fine-tunements of his character.

Overall the cinematography, characters, and plot were well executed for a pilot episode, and the story itself can be interesting provided they don't fall too hard into the cliché and tropes inherent in this type of story, then this show has a promising future.

Love it!

[cloggy010 · 10/10 · 14 November 2015]

Great series! McDorman makes it very funny and pleasant to watch. Rest of the casting is very well done too. It is not deep but wasn't be meant to be like that.

There's really nothing new that we haven't seen in other shows, but it works. The acting is good. The pacing is good. The possibilities are there for some twists.

Overall the cinematography, characters, and plot were well executed for a pilot episode, and the story itself can be interesting provided they don't fall too hard into the cliché and tropes inherent in this type of story, then this show has a promising future.

Good Show... Not Bad, but not Great

[nlytnd_1 · 7/10 · 7 January 2021]

I'm pretty selective about what shows I get into. For the most part I've watched the top tier of television shows over the last 20 years (25-30 shows). Witch I'll list below... Limitless falls right around the 7 range, which is my worth watching bar and I'm glad I watched it. It does fall into a super detective cliche' show. It kind of falls into the realm of a Sherlock, Fringe, etc, etc, type of show.

List of watched shows with my rating Breaking Bad (10), Dexter (10), Game of Thrones (10), Sopranos (10), Succession (10), Mr. Robot (10), Sherlock (10), Spartacus Blood and Sand (10), The Americans (9.5), Fringe (9), Rectify (9), Better Call Saul (8.5) True Detective (9, 1st Season), Six Feet Under (8.5), Mind Hunter (8.5), Black Mirror (8), Cobra Kai (8), Lost (7.5), The Shield (7), Firefly (7), Hannibal (7), West World (7, perfectly/beautifully done, it has to be one of the most difficult shows to write for. Although a fun premise at first, it's a brutal one to maintain), Fargo (7, 1st and 2nd season) Atlanta (7, light 22 minute episode show, which I'm not a big fan of the 22 minute show format in general), Barry (6.5), House of Cards (6),The Walking Dead (6.5), Stranger Things (6 - many people like this, to me the acting and everything is off and the pilot is embarrassingly bad), The Wire (5, I guess I saw it too late. I don't hate on it, it's well done). Mad Men (3, I only got through one season and I did not like it at all. It felt like 1 long running joke that tries to carry the entire weight of the show. I lot of people like it. It's one of the only shows that I started that I disliked so much that I have no desire to ever watch it again).

I like the acting and the characters in this (except for the dad).... I like Jennifer Carpenter.... I'm a huge fan of the Dexter series. The storyline involving Brian's father is ridonculous and horrendously corny. Partial spoilers below in my Brian's dad rant, which luckily only surfaces every other episode or so. His dad is supposed to be endearing, but to me he's a gargantuan jerk, but I digress. Throughout the course of the show there's this lingering melodrama about Brain having to lie to his father, which is like a bacterial infection that keeps coming back. All Brian has to say is, I'm working with the FBI and what I'm doing is classified and close out this corny/nonsensical storyline.

Please Don't Become Just Another 'Cop Show', Pleeeeaaase.....?

[lewilewis1997 · 4/10 · 28 September 2015]

After watching the pilot:

I loved the original film and idea, Bradley Cooper nailed it (he has a cameo in the pilot as well). So I came to the TV pilot preying 'don't screw it up, don't screw it up....' and they didn't! Good start. It starts out as a 'who done it' and the main protagonist, Brian (Jake McDorman) has to work out A: How to get a supply of NZT? And B: Who killed his friend/supplier? Brian is similar to the original film character as in he has no future, is almost a bum and is going no where fast. Also similar is a chance encounter with an old friend with a little clear pill.

I liked it, although there seem to be some convenient 'allowances' on the part of the writers. But they're just lining up their ducks and laying the ground work for Brian's future with the FBI. There is an absolute avalanche of cop shows; and it doesn't look like there'll be any let up this Autumn. The amount of new cop shows cascading out of our TV sets in the next few weeks seems excessive. However I'm hoping that this one will be different? It has an original idea that could lead us to a thousand fascinating places - as long as it doesn't become 'just another cop show'.

Senator Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) will be back, he's said as much as he has plans for Brian. Brian will amaze and dazzle all of those around him, in fact he already has to some extent. As long as the writers can avoid the formula 'good guys vs bad guys and the good guys always win' which sucks and is far from true in the real world. Here's hoping Brian will be an insider in the FBI for Senator Eddie and spying/double cross and intrigue will prevail?

At the moment the probability of this taking off and giving us some original TV drama is 93% (yes, I have NZT) - But the moment that there is a single car chase/shoot out that prediction drops to 24%. If Brian falls for the female lead that drops to 12%; with her in peril and needing rescuing it becomes a paltry 2%.

Please don't do it, stick to the originality of the idea and do a cop show that's different. It's a big ask but I can't be the only one sick of 'the formula', can I?

After Episode 2;

A total change in 'tone' - far less serious, almost jocular, a little ridiculous and tongue in cheek (I howled at the 'gun and badge' joke).

Brian is a clown, naturally and is charming/disarming the highly trained, doubly serious FBI agents. He's amazed and bamboozled them in equal measure and has solved things in minutes that left them scratching their heads for years. All good. I was tempted to switch off at the start because of the total 180 it's done since the pilot (which was way more serious in tone). But I stuck with it, got used to the change in tempo and angle and was rewarded. I'm a little concerned by his new 'partner' FBI agent Rebecca (Jennifer Carpenter). She needs a good steak, or a good anything, I don't think she's eaten for a few months. Gotta pack away that protein if you're going to be chasing and wrestling bad guys, Reb'.

It probably is going to be 'just another cop show'; but it has redeeming features so I'm prepared to make allowances; like you would for your naughtiest but funniest kid (just don't tell your mother, Okay?!). The underlying plot of him working for Sen. Eddie Morra is still there, but it's a slow burner hidden away underneath weekly crime solving.

All in all this is light hearted relief with a sprinkling of drama so that's how I'm treating it. I was all stoked up for a serious thriller, maybe that will still come? Either way, I will continue to watch, and laugh, but this is down from 9/10 to 7.5/10.

After episode 3;

I was wrong, way wrong....... this is now a four, So I watch no more, Just find it a bore that makes me snore.........

Couldn't help that last bit. What happened Limitless Team??? How could you screw this up so badly???!!! Muppets, the lot of you.

One of the better season premieres of the fall season

[kendahlj-55 · 8/10 · 28 September 2015]

I have not seen the movie Limitless, but was aware of the premise. I wasn't really interested in the pilot for the new TV series, but I happened to catch it by luck. I was glad I did.

The show follows a man who hasn't done much with his life. In a temp job, he runs into an old band mate, who sees in him potential and gives him a super pill that unlocks the deepest recesses of his brain (makes him really, really smart). The plot follows him as he is chased by the FBI who want him for murder, while he tries to clear his name.

There's really nothing new to the show that we haven't seen in other shows in the crime procedural genre, but it works. The acting is good. The pacing is good. The possibilities are there for some twists. It sets up a good overarching mystery. Overall, if you like TV dramas like Mentalist and Chuck then you'll like this show.

As an aside, I thought it was WAY better than Minority Report, and that was one I really looked forward to when it was announced. Of the pilots I've seen, Lucifer was better. Player was okay for some silly action fun. Quantico has a better mystery. But Limitless is in the top three.

Fine example of how TV show can evolve from average to excellent

[steefan-92 · 10/10 · 17 December 2015]

As title says, this show was off to your average TV show, with plain plot, an average cast and you know, all other things that we had seen by now. To plot was center around NZT drug and one propagandist, while efficiently ignored other characters, their side of story.

It was washed down crime TV show with main character who is on NZT and only real plot was around NZT for good half of show, with little side tracks, that consisted of solving crime cases and throw backs to Brain story. That was for first half of first round of this season, however from episode 7, show evolved considerably.

They learned that if they are going to pull, second season or at least get full season rundown (which happened and i am so glad they pulled out), they need to grow bigger, risk more, start thinking outside of box. Oh, boy they did all of that and last episode of first round - episode 11 is result of all that.

I didn't go into any specifics , I wrote this review in general perspective, because until the season ends, there can't really be any objective based review, it's simply too early for any final thoughts . That said I really urge anyone to give it a shot because it deserves it (being #2 most watched show on CBS should speak for it self).

Edit 1: With a show one episode away from season ending and having watched part one of finale, I have to say, hands down to a team, you had done incredibly job.

TV show had become everything I hoped for, when they order full seasons, I laughed, felt sad, confused and etc. They explored multiple characters, their agenda, motives, feelings, experimented with risky directions and so on.

However, ultimate thing that really shines is how every peace of story, every peace of puzzle has fallen into place and I don't have words to express how much I recommend this show, so stop reading,go ahead and watch.

Why was this limited

[iceman_what · 10/10 · 19 May 2020]

This is such an Enjoyable series with a fantastic cast, how it didn't get past one season is beyond me, a real shame. Glad I watched it but will always be wishing for more

Sad there's only one season

[bluj-87480 · 10/10 · 18 June 2019]

This show was entertaining and very funny. Too bad it didn't get a second season.

The movie was a tough act to follow

[imdb-4912 · 16 February 2016]

Still, you could have tried.

For a drug that makes you incredibly intelligent, Brian is doing very poorly.

I don't get it. Even I, a person of somewhat above average intelligence, can easily figure do better than Brian. Sure, I can't learn a language in a day, or analyze thousands of small pieces of information and find a pattern etc... but is that all that intelligence is?

The first thing Brian should have done is MAKE A PLAN. Make several plans! Make a plan B.

• How to get rid of the FBI - How to get rid of Morra, I mean, he must have figured out that it won't end well? - How to secure some resources, and a safe place (where Sands can't just walk in any time he pleases) - How to secure access to NZT and the antidote

What's he doing instead? Playing games!! Being silly! Playing detective. Solving murders that no one gives cares about. You're not a detective, Brian! You're a genius! Do something, anything!! Stop being a tool! Stop being a dummy!

PS! Seriously, IMDb, I can't write the sh*t word?? Are you little babies?

Promising pilot, a big letdown after

[vedranonface · 6/10 · 22 November 2015]

The show began with a promising pilot, it seemed as if it will be a proper continuation for the movie. It showed everything that we liked in the movie: a guy that was lost, not being able to move forward with his life, then a sudden gift - a pill that allows him to achieve the full potential of his brain, twist with killed friend and FBI trying to pin the murder on him. All of it seemed promising and interesting, continuing the concept of the limitless movie. However, with the second episode it is already visible that the show takes a sudden turnabout where it becomes just another cop show with a genius solving crime. This review is not meant to insult the show, however the show does not really implement the idea of the NTZ effect, it just becomes a crime solving show and it is a huge letdown after a promising pilot. For someone who is searching just for another crime show, this will probably be interesting and fun, but for those expecting part 2 of the limitless movie, I recommend not watching it as you will most probably be disappointed, especially after the first episode that showed potential only leading to a much greater letdown in the coming episodes.

Intriguing and Funny

[geetika-40210 · 10/10 · 15 February 2020]

I honestly think all the negative reviews here are overtly harsh and the show, the cast and the crew deserves a lot more appreciatiIon.

Undoubtedly the show loses some steam after a couple of episodes, but it soon picks up pace and adds a lot of excitement to the narrative.

I absolutely loved the show!

Episode 1 great. Episode 2 wasn't that great.

[ragudown · 7/10 · 1 October 2015]

I enjoyed the movie, however once I watched pilot of regarding the TV series I was fascinated to say the least. However once I watched the second episode, goodness, how I was disappointed, has no end. The second episode felt as though he was just a normal "genius" even though that's a bit much for him, since the way he thought felt so normal. I enjoy a great sci-fi movies, though episode two was deeply disappointing. To elaborate further, the director should allow the main character to engage in thrilling actives. Others may intact enjoy this sort of thing. Though as for myself, I'll stick to the fast lane. I truly hope that the third episode isn't was disappointing.

Amazing

[photoninadoubleslit · 8/10 · 25 February 2021]

I binge watched this awesome series, and I want season 2 now :) Its an amazing, fun-filled series with a non nonsense approach mixing comedy and thrill together so effortlessly. Loved Brian, Rebca's character the MOST, but all characters were so well cast. PLEASE bring season 2. I am a big fan of blindspot and this on crvd its niche out in balancing thrill and comedy very well :)

Do something important with this fantasy talent.

[billtomlinson · 6/10 · 3 February 2016]

I'd give it a 10 for potential. Most of the reviewers have put their finger on the problem with the series. The scope. We should realize that the major appeal of a show about NZT is the fantasy of it. So suppose you were ten or 100 time more intelligent than any other person on that planet. What would you do? Get a job with the FBI solving crimes? This is where the other reviewers have it right again. A total lack of imagination. Certainly the character reads the paper and knows that there are much more pressing problems on the planet. Maybe he could construct a plan for world peace. Or find a way to eradicate world hunger. Or maybe invent a cheap energy source, like improving the cost or efficiency of solar power. Not fun enough? How about working on a space elevator? Think "Lucy" here. If I were a writer on the show here's where I would go. First the character should find a way to break away from the FBI. He might even get Bradley Cooper to help him, or at least not be against him. Then go do something important. Or maybe if the Senator is against the idea, do these other things as a side project. If you have to solve crimes, maybe find a way to convince criminals to turn themselves in, maybe even before they commit the crime. Of course, to do any of these things you might actually have to have some real solutions, or at least solutions that are plausible solutions. This is what the writers of the show could be using their imaginations to come up with. If those writers only have crime solving imaginations, fire the writers, hire other writers. The show has great potential and I like that they use Dexter's sister in the show. So maybe the main character can go find Dexter?

Such a potential is wasted

[satilla · 5/10 · 22 September 2015]

I really liked the Limitless movie, both the idea and the acting was good. But this series is another "consultant detective" garbage. It started as a continuance of limitless movie but suddenly ( very illogically ) they involve cops and it becomes another case solving genius story.

I cannot understand why anyone take this story and turn it into nothing. There are so many case solving genius TV series , why would you make another one? People are really bored with the same lame stories. Charismatic con man becomes consultant and solve cases, an immortal doctor somehow becomes consultant to solve cases, an enigmatic genius ....you know which series i am talking about. Stop this....

They still have some chance to turn the story around and make it a big success , but if they keep using the same script over and over again i will not watch it.
