I was mildly excited upon hearing about this show, but then considering they already canceled one futuristic cop show "Almost Human" which was a fairly enjoyable show, I failed to see why we need another one.
Unfortunately my low expectations were rewarded with a run by the numbers, "yet another cop buddy" show. Oh dear me, they took one of the pre-cogs and turned him into what can only be seen as a replacement for Tom Cruise with the ability to see bits of the future himself. The police partner is very poorly represented by Meagan Good, with a typically cast technician by Li Jun Li. Neither have any on screen presence and the inclusion of one original cast member is a poor attempt to relate to the movie.
All suspense, acting and good script from the movie has been totally stripped out of this show with what can only be described as an empty shell of a show, with some glossy special effects for good measure.
I really hope they don't make anything more than just this poor pilot episode.
Go watch Mr Robot instead to see how a well written show looks!
