S01.E11: This Is Your Brian on Drugs

[Free]

The thing is the overtly known watercooler shows often let you down. Blindspot is leaning that way a lot of the time. 

 

I'd say that Limitless is more of a gem that's slipped past people's notice. Not TOO past because the ratings aren't horrible, but the critics seem to be processing it simply as part of the CBS procedural block.  Maybe the situation is akin to that of Person of Interest... except Person of Interest didn't start sidelining into wild creativity until much further into it's run (second season, bare minimum) than this show (which started pretty much right after the Pilot).

Wow, I just realized both Person of Interest and Limitless have people named "Finch".

 

Blindspot was more of an overhyped mess and even that seems to have subsided.

 

POI did eventually hit its stride so it's very possible for this show to do something similar, most of its PR buzz seems to be from Bradley Cooper's appearances though so far.

Mind blown.

 

Sadly, Alan Sepinwall doesn't watch this and he'd love it. Remember he loved Chuck? He gave the pilot a very tepid review and apparently never returned to watch again.

Which is why the show never made an impression on me till I read this blog entry last week. Since then I've devoured all existing episodes and am hungry for more.

Anyone here with a line to him (he's got all kinds of sources) should tell him otherwise.

The Mike and Ike opener was hilarious. I really loved that character development.
