A promising start, but not without hiccups.
It feels like it takes inspiration from the X Files and such shows, without being a blatant knockoff.
I did like it - but I can't help feel there are too many questions and not enough answers. I guess that's what a Pilot is supposed to do though.
This idea of "the Pattern" is rather nebulous at this stage. The whole world is their lab? Very intriguing.
I felt the ending was a little contrived - in terms of explaining how "the gang" is getting together to investigate these "dangers". I hope subsequent episodes solidify the motivation of Joshua Jackson's character to be a part of this stuff.
My favourite characters were the Bishop father and son. They had a fun dynamic and also the most entertaining dialogue in the episode.
I found the lead actress's performance a little flat at times. Comes across as a bit robotic.
The sci-fi stuff was fun, with the mind merging and whatnot. The face melting was a great way to open the show.
I just want answers! Who was Scott working for? What's happening with the Bell corporation? What does Broyles know that he hasn't told? What is the Pattern?
I'll get frustrated if we don't get answers.
