I’m surprised there hasn’t been a thread made for this show. I think it’s one of Syfy’s best new shows and is more “Heroes done right” than any show based around superhuman powers. I like that each power shown so far has some biological front their manifestation and not just tacked on randomly.
The story has a good base, and the characters are all unique and quirky enough to identify with.
Oh and Hicks’ power of perfect execution is to good. He’s basically Desk but with everything. I want his power more than anything!
Alphas is a miss or hit kind of show for me. The only actor/character I like thus far is Ryan Cartwright/Gary. He plays his role with amazing accuracy for an adult person with autism - and always puts a comical twist on everything just because of his perosnality. Other than that, I have no reason to watch the show. Last week’s episode was remarkable (yes, again with the Gary fandom - since it was an episode that focused on him). Dr. Rosen has been alright, but he’s starting to get on my nerves with pulling the typical psychiatrist routine by trying to act ‘calm and relaxed’ about just about anything that’s going on around him.
Overall, I’m giving the series a shot this season. If it goes wonky on me, I’ll stop watching it. Last night’s episode was rather stupid - not too keen on the woman’s power. Even though, I have to admit that they did kind of put a rather realistic spin on it.
This show has been really good so far, I like how they don’t drag out scenarios. The way the Alpha powers are treated are pretty cool and the characters all have a distinct sense of individuality. This week’s finale was cool.
