Review of Eureka

Eureka (2006–2012)
9/10
Who ever said that Science Fiction has to be serious?
29 December 2021
I loved every episode of "Eureka" from the very start to the very end.

I am not a scientist and therefore I cannot evaluate which of the theories and facts examined in the series are actually based on real science or at least, theoretical science, but as played out, they all seem reasonable (although quite weird).

But what makes this series worthwhile watching are not so much the scientists in the tiny brainy "Eureka" town (a secluded and very secretive town financed by the DoD - Department of Defense), although all geniuses mind you, but rather the Sheriff of the town (the only one with an average mind but with a knack on finding original solutions to catastrophic problems).

And indeed, all turns around him, and his rebellious daughter who comes to join him from Los Angeles.

I have watched many science fiction series, but never such a funny one (with maybe "The Orville" as an exception, although happening in outer space).

The problems arising in it are serious enough and indeed at times, even life threatening, but there is always that Sheriff going stumbling around where he shouldn't, while the scientists are attempting to solve those problems, and guess who solves them in the end?...

Well, let me say, he is an essential part of it all.

As said, a highly entertaining series for the entire family and for once, also very fun to watch.

Forget all the more recently produced ones and go back in time and watch it again, or better, if you never watched it before, discover it as a big surprise.
