12 Monkeys 2015

Around & Around, then Around Some More...

Standard SyFy fare -- not great, not awful, sticks to the bland middle-ground. Time travel is a hard plot to do well, and SyFy hasn't succeeded where others have failed. There are plenty of times when you might wonder, "hey, wait a minute -- if they could go back and fix that thing, why can't they go back and fix this one" -- it's best not to think a lot while watching 12 Monkeys, you'll get a headache. They've employed the lazy way to construct time travel stories -- melodramatic catastrophic events followed by time travelling back to fix things.

Mediocre, average and bland -- like most series on SyFy. The plot runs in circles, with no resolution in sight. Would've been better as an 8-episode miniseries telling a story to completion.
