Come on May 26th!!
I have mixed feelings on this. I mostly agree with @ketu except for the Blonde scientist (played by Catherine Lemieux); I find her abrasive and thoroughly unwatchable. When the monkey got her in the face I thought 'excellent, she's out' but no, not even a scratch (wtf, come on!)
Fringe was mentioned and I've heard elsewhere this compared to and touted as the next Fringe. It will never be Fringe. Fringe was lightning in a bottle. There is simply no potential chemistry here like it, and Walter is so unique in both character and performance. These characters are very flat and the nature of the contained environment leaves little development for our 'heroes' that won't slip into soap opera territory.
There was some good dialogue, the exposition wasn't grating, though the 'working with the ex-wife' is amongst the handful of clichés here. I like the main guy (played by Billy Campbell), I think his performance is quite good. I think the make up effects are good, the CGI monkeys were cool though some of the other CGI is a little wonky (the shot where they were walking from the helicopter to the complex was bad).
I'm hoping this show develops into something with some balls. It's seeded enough interesting points that it may, but stretching this out beyond a season (13 episodes?) seems like a push to stay interesting.
Season 3 > Season 1 >>>> Season 2
The violence, the class, visuals, audio, psychology and Hannibal's mind control. It is so beautiful I want to cry. I wish I could go back in time and see it for the first time again so I could cry from the psychological and eye candy this show brings. In my crazy head this places as #1 and best show I've ever seen even above Breaking Bad.
Jimmy Fallon is so cool , energetic and musically gifted . He inspires me xD !
24 will return in early May as tentpole event drama "24: Live Another Day", which will arc through the summer.
Ends on cliff hanger. Starts new ep. 5 minutes in its good. next 40 minutes its quite disappointing. Ends on cliff hanger. Repeat.
