Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Radish4ever Originally entitled 'the Frankenstein code' the show, strangely, reminds me of another excellent show from 2001 - JOHN DOE (with Dominic Purcell - a guy wakes up and knows everything) like that show - axed after one series.The plot is simple, Jimmy Pritchard is murdered and brought back to life and wakes up with enhanced abilities i.e. strength and speed and them proceeds to build a relationship with his son (who doesn't know who he is as he looks 40 years younger) and hence what would you do with a 'second chance'.Excellent show, likable characters, good acting and good exciting story's. I'm furious that its been axed but going to watch the episodes over and over again. Sad there wont be a season two as the potential was there for a long running series.
safeharbour01 It was bothering me when I saw the description of this series, I knew I'd heard it before. Back in 1999 - 2000 there was a series starring Eric Close (had such a crush on him) called 'Now and Again'. A husband (played by John Goodman) is killed. He's brought back by a scientist in a younger, genetically enhanced form. Maybe the personal issues are different, I don't know but the premise is the same. I guess they thought they'd give the idea another outing. So although they have tried to make this into a bad guy going through a learning experience to become a good guy (as has been done before) the similarities to the previous series spoilt this for me. I guess I never got over Eric Close :) The smug-faced beefcake who's the main character just didn't cut it for me, not my type! Couldn't get into this at all.
jwstrtmn When you watch a show like this, you expect some entertainment, action, humor and good acting. And that is exactly what it delivers.The story is good (old sheriff, gets revived to save a woman from cancer through blood transfusion. While trying to right his wrongs). I liked the interaction between Jimmy (father) en Duval (son). I is almost believable that they are father and son :)!Acting is solid and convincing enough.The action great and well done.Solid 9 as far as I am concerned. Really curious how the story will unfold.
frenchmonkeys When I read the plot line I wasn't overly enthralled, just figured I'd give it a go. So glad I did.There are some really interesting characters here, most of whom are deliciously flawed, with interesting relationships and interactions between them. Visually pleasing, an interesting extension of technology and software that we already take for granted (and the slightly darker big brother aspect to it with the developers using it for their own ends without conscience) is a believable near future that makes the more esoteric sci-fi storyline feel more natural.The plot for the first episode was a bit 'seen it before', but I think a necessary lack of invention in order to establish the story and give us an immediate understanding of the prime characters. I expect the plots will thicken up nicely.I'm really looking forward to seeing how this develops; early days but has serious potential, for me, the best show so far this year and I'm eager to see more.
