Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
ShowMeTheCredits Started out with the first episode here, kinda liked the atmosphere off-the-bat, and the production seemed above average.Then weird things start happening (gotta love that), and uh, does someone have special powers? (I friggin' LOVE that).Then, it starts to get, well, sloppy. Continuity questions start to bubble in me old noggin, all-the-while the weird things start to get weirder. But not in a good way.Then, half-way through episode two, and something starts to feel... familiar... It's the constant adding mystique to questions with more mystique and no answers. Now where have I seen that before?I ride my moped onto iMDB, check the writer's bio, and sure enough: This piece of shiitake was also writing LOST, which wash a ten-year shizzle fest of "But?"s and so, so few answers. This guy already robbed me of ten years of random mystical detours "just-for-the-mystique-of-it-oh-and-the-giggles-uh-you-know-you-don't-actually-have-to-make-sense-of-it-just-make-the-viewers-ask-questions-and-be-confused-and-it's-like-the-same-thing." (Full honesty: I'd probably still watch the whole thing again with a box of toilet paper just for Evangeline Lilly)No way this idiot is doing this to me again. I'm just so happy that either (a) I'm so brilliant that I recognised this crap in less than two episodes, or (b) that it's so obvious that I recognised this crap in less than two episodes. Either way, I dodged a (possibly ten-year) bullet on this one. WIN!
markusjohnson-17113 Stupid BOORING teeny bopper coming of sexual age BAD series!!! The series tempts you with powers but alas the ENTIRE series is about her sexual assault and her EXTREME PTSD about the episode. She initiates a make out session, the boy puts his hands down her pants, she starts to say no bc she no longer wants to do anything, he takes his hands out of her pants and tries to force himself on her by saying yes and kissing her, she paralyzes him for life with her powers by breaking his back. She spends the rest of EVERY episode acting as if she had been put though 9 levels of hell as if the guy raped, sodomized and beat the living hell out of her. If they wanted her to react in such a strong way for sooooo long they should have ACTUALLY had the guy hurt her which would have given her extreme ptsd credence. It would have made more sense. And, they should have thrown in A LOT more powers action. Wont be watching ever again, waist of time.
dean-556 Watched the whole things cuz once I'm enticed to start a Syfy series I can't stop. Won't be biting on any season 2 bait though. The title of this show should be The Impulse to Rape, or perhaps, the Impulse to Sexually Assault. Though clearly no one would watch it then. The subject is treated sometimes honestly, insightfully, sensitively, but mostly - Progressively. As is the case with almost all drama whose primary objective is the selling of a political point of view and retraining the masses, the art suffers. Actors do their best with the preachy lines and 2 dimensionally motivated characters. If you and yours are of the ilk that needs, "to be taught not to rape", this is as painless a vehicle as any. Otherwise this fails, or is at best mediocre fare, for all the genres, teen angst, syfy, superhero, etc. it purports to be about.
kim-bailey-358-184263 I really hope we get a second season! By the end of the first season I was just starting to get invested in the characters.
