I stopped watching at episode 10! Now, let me say that I was really looking forward to this show and I'm very disappointed it didn't live up to my expectations. What made me stop watching? It's not the acting, not the effects - it's the story.
It feels like the writers didn't know where to go with this around episode 7. Cole and Cassy stopped the outbreak, everything seemed to be fine! Guess what? They didn't! Somehow the story must go on and thus the outbreak wasn't really stopped. I suspected this would happen, but it threw me off anyways.
I think the two hour movie it was based on just hadn't enough juice to fuel a whole TV show, so the writers introduced some other characters and brought more storylines into play. Unfortunately, this didn't really help and made the whole show more confusing than interesting. If they had sticked to the original storyline, explained some parts of it in more depth, especially some characters, I believe they could've made a great 20 episode show.
There was so much potential. Instead the show was convoluted with characters and storylines, which I think are just there to stretch the whole show over more episodes.

If you wanted only another 12 Monkeys movie then this would've been a bit of a disappointment, but if you're after much more then this is a series that you perhaps should have stuck with.
I've only gotten through the first two seasons but I cannot wait for season 3 and 4! It's taken me this long to dedicate the time to start watching 12 Monkeys, but it's a show you need to pay attention as it jumps many times, but it's worth it!
This show is both really good AND really bad...
it doesn't have the usual CW feel to it, the fight scenes are excellent and have me coming back for more but the show still has plenty of face palm moments throughout which serve as reminders that it's the CW lol

I'm probably one of the worst for calling out cringe moments, but honestly I haven't come across any in the episodes that have aired. I've been really and pleasantly surprised. I've been looking forward to watching this on a weekly basis. There's only one or two other shows I can say the same for and I'm a bit of a hobbiest with series and shows generally. Blacklist is another of my habitual dietary needs.
gets better every episode, actually.

Hope so, I'm struggling getting back to it after just 2 episodes. I normally watch the first 4 eps before making up my mind on shows but this is becoming a drag but I can see potential. Also have always liked the actors in this so I'll continue to get better, as you say every episode.
