Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

CoolRam This is a very wholesome family series. Love it so much but I'm just so frustrated that it was being canceled. I love to watch this series with my family and children. It portrays love, helping one another, drama, action, sci-fi and so many things evolve in this series. Good writer, too.I don't want to criticize other series. We all have our own tastes. But just wondering why this series was canceled. Was hoping for more, you know, then suddenly, poof, canceled.I hope there will be more series of this kind.God bless us all.

gurubesar I do not normally write a review for a TV series because it is so difficult to judge the whole series based on one or two episodes. However, when there is a uniformity of the content of the episodes, it is easier to make a summary of the whole sets. As you may well know already, this story is about the little girl with a potential high power ability which has yet to be developed. Of course in this kind of set up there will be a bad guy who always seem to win on every chance but then never quite catch it. He always looses on the last moment. You could say something like this is normal to happen in a TV series, but there is time when you should say that the good guy should have enough brain as well. It is silly to make a series where the bad guy lost to the good guy every time based on luck and not on the action or the plan of the good guy. There are several characters who are acting on the good guy side; however, the thing which I don't really understand is why all these persons are so indecisive when it comes to make a decision. Nobody seems to know what are they planning to do and how are they going to achieve it. The fact that there a person on the run from town to town in the US from the police or rather from the FBI does not make sense to me. Is it really true that the FBI is so useless that they can not even catch a person who is on the run with a little tailing behind him ? Did the director ever discuss this with the real FBI to make it more believable ? And the bad guy is sooo powerful, that even the FBI has to follow his call when it comes to do the action. Is there really such a person in real life ? The fact that this bad guy is just a private citizen with a lot of money and connection can do so much in the US makes me wonder whether the US is run by people like this or they have a real government who can do something without consulting this kind of guy. Anyway, I am very disappointed for spending my time on this series. If you have some free time to enjoy, I don't recommend this series, the story is too slow and always end up in the same pattern. So far I have watched 10 episodes and they all look alike to me. Of course the title is another matter, but believe me it has nothing to do with the whole story....

bkaylorcollins It isn't that it isn't a good show - it's that it's too much aggravation to watch.First, no one tells him he is her father - which might, just might help him understand why he should take care of her... so, it's frustrating with the constant lack of cooperation.Second, the Mad-Man using the FBI with an Amber Alert looking for these supposed 'criminals' and the father and the girl and using his own torturous means of other 'special' people who are killing - even by accident just to find Bo because she's the best.... with such a frenzy - I just can't buy it.Bo helps people, which is great because we all like to see good deeds done but, the negativity of the rest of this show is a little too intense. In fact, there is more negativity going on than any positive influence. Sorry, I just gave up on this show. Correct it by lightening up a little and I would probably love this show.

unitythroughterror This is the kind of show I wouldn't be surprised to see earns a small cult following after its DVD release, despite tanking horrifically on the air. If you're a macho man who is not in touch with his sensitive, TLC side don't bother. If you are an intelligent viewer who is willing to lower a few expectations and suspend your disbelief - this is a show for you. One of the things I loved about Believe is it has the same, melancholically cozy vibe as other "magic child" productions - The Lovely Bones, Steven Spielberg Presents Taken, The Possession, Chronicle, etc. etc. I really am a big fan of that vibe mixed with the vibe of a thriller, or a horror. It makes for an interesting experience because such an approach is very character-driven and makes you get attached to the character go through the various ordeals scripted by the writers. Now onto the Pros:-Solid cinematography, gives the film a CSI: Miami feel which is an interesting approach because of the fantastical source material. The shots are not glamorous or overly stylish. The ordinariness of New York City and the photography is part of the interesting grounded aspect of this show.-Solid acting. Nothing Oscar worthy here, but genuinely beautiful and emotional performances. Jake McLaughlin does a solid job as Tate, Johnny Sequoyah completely embodies Bo, and Jamie Chung and Delroy Lindo add sparkle. Kyle MacLaughlin makes a hatable villain, and whoever plays the newest addition to MacLaughlin's team does a good job of being Bo's dark negative. -The music is extremely fitting given the atmosphere, visuals, and acting. Not amazingly gorgeous, but nonetheless very fitting and therefore effective.The cons:-Thus far (four more episodes to go) you won't find anything that hardcore in here. The violence is quick, bloodless, and very tame. In some ways I think this vitally damages the tension. We don't need to go Texas Chainsaw but a bit of blood here and there I think would strengthen the tension and show Kyle's evil side even more, and the necessity to not let Bo get swirled back into the shady facility she came from.-The government conspiracy problem. This is a bit hokey, understandable, but hokey. It almost feels like they ripped off The Syndicate from The X-Files, replace aliens with psychics.-The show can become so sickeningly sweet that at some points you almost have to laugh. It gets a little hammy here and there. What I do like however is that it isn't a bombastic show about famine, murder, rape, and horrors around the world. Bo can't get to that yet. So she helps this people in all these small, but fundamental ways. However some of these people who are "helped" are cardboard cut out clichés.Overall: A very good show. I'm sad to see it go, as I think things were just starting to kick off in Season 1. The show may never realize its full potential, but thus far if you have a soul you'll be hooked instantaneously.
