Storyline

Helix is a science fiction thriller that focuses on a CDC expedition into the arctic. They go there to investigate the potential outbreak of a disease with no idea what they are getting themselves into. They encounter an almost zombie-like threat that could threaten mankind itself whilst the operator of the facility seems to know more than what he is saying.

Goofs

The series depicts day as bright and night as dark in the Arctic. However, north of the Arctic circle (which is the implied location), because of the tilt of the earth, they would have 24 hours of daylight in the summer, and 24 hours of dark in the winter.

User Reviews

Let me tell you a story!

Small spoiler alert:

I was watching the series from the beginning. At first i expected nothing else than a series about a virus infection, so maybe nothing new. Then it changed to be a series i expected to be a resident evil remake. Then i expected at some point aliens. An now, i really want to know what is going on there.

What i want to tell you here is this: I have never seen a series with so much plot changing, so much different ideas. That is really a welcome, because at this moment, i enjoyed every single episode. This is mystery science fiction at its best, and nothing else. The story that is told here is one of the best in science fiction history. Everyone who can should watch it. If you liked X-Files, you should watch it. If you liked Lost, you should watch it. Hell, this series did want to make me an IMDb account, because i did not understand the people who were giving bad critics.
