Action Comedy
Based on the feature film of the same name, "Limitless" follows Brian Finch, who, possessed of extraordinary cognitive powers thanks to the mysterious drug NZT, works with the FBI to help solve complex cases. Working with him in New York City are Special Agent Rebecca Harris, an investigator with a dark past, and her confidant, Special Agent Boyle, who's a former military officer. Brian also maintains a secret relationship with Sen. Edward Mora, a fellow user of the drug who has plans of his own for his protege.

So you guys know that I'm a Netflix and (literally) Chill kind of girl. I very rarely use cable except for special occasions like The Walking Dead, Downton Abbey or on those instances where I had a tough day and I want to use some brain antacid by watching some Real Housewives. I've heard of some shows, but I don't really know what Primetime has to offer.
I was so so sooooo bored last week and started browsing On Demand. That's where I found LIMITLESS, and I'm like Hey, is this that Bradley Cooper movie?. And it was and I thought that movie was so brilliant so I decided to give it a go. Also, I'm familiar with Jake McDorman as I've seen and loved his other two series, Greek (2007) and Manhattan Love Story (2014). So go I went, got hooked, and here's five reasons why:
- Based on the hit movie starring Bradley Cooper, LIMITLESS TV Series continues with the NZT pill that made Eddie Mora (Bradley Cooper) a genius overnight. We've gotten close to the origins of NZT and the FBI is close in its heels. It has records of known users and tracks and studies its deadly effects. Like Eddie Mora, Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) got a vaccine from NZT's side effects and this "anomaly" had the FBI hiring him as their "consultant". And this twist is the just the beginning, but you can already see how complicated things are going to be for Brian in the long run.
- Bradley Cooper is an executive producer AND makes sporadic appearances too! His character is closely tied to Brian Finch and acts as both Finch's savior and nightmare. I love this twist in Mora's character, he started as a hero in the movie and it appears that being "gifted" also inflated his ego and greed for power turning him into a dangerous megalomaniac.
- Despite its dark and suspenseful undertones, LIMITLESS is funny and witty and full of comedic breaks and silly situations. I particularly love how Brian Finch is such a crafter! His case presentations are like art projects, it adds a layer of contradiction to his genius.
- The cases Brian is assigned to are interesting. I especially love his methodology in solving them. He reminds me very much of Gregory House minus the multiple hit or misses. Smart people are simply rockstars!
- LIMITLESS is not only entertaining, it's smart too! I'm sure the writers exercised their creative licenses yet the science makes sense! And again, Brian's craft projects helps dumb it down for me. Ha!
I hope CBS doesn't cancel the series because it's so much fun! On that note, I also just discovered Fox's new series, Lucifer. I am loving this new show too, it only has 3 episodes so far and it's a bit formulaic as the arc has yet to gain speed. But I love the dry humor and Lucifer (Tom Ellis) is so easy on the eyes! I'll watch a few more episodes to get a good feel of the series so watch out for my feedback for that.


This week, I discovered Netflix. Yes. Netflix. So that's what I've been doing. I got caught up with The Mortal Instruments, then I'm working my way through The 100. My God, that Thomas McDonnell is hot af. Serious boy crush.
ReplyDeleteOhh yay I need to add this to my to be watched :D
ReplyDeleteI wanted to try this one but in the end I gave up before watching one, I liked the movie and I was curious but well... maybe I should try if you enjoy it that much!
ReplyDelete*drools over Lucifer*
ReplyDeleteBut Limitless, hmm, I have seen that it's on tv, but I have not watched it cos the movie was boring. But maybe I should give it a go
You had me at Bradley Cooper. ;) Then I read on and realized I actually saw Limitless, the movie. But Braine, you know I don't watch tv. *whines* I'm glad you're enjoying it and I hope it doesn't get canceled. Oh, and I just had a friend recommend that I watch Lucifer. I'm very curious now...
ReplyDeleteI am a TV addict. I love my cable, even though I am not pleased with the service I have, since the digital era. Not sure if they will ever get it right. That being said, YOWZA. I love Limitless too. I have been watching from the first episode. I know it's hard for people to come up with new ideas, but I think they did a good job with this one. I love that he goes from happy go lucky pothead to the smartest guy in the world. His "happy" cohort, from the Dexter series, Rebecca. I hope they keep it going too.
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
I watched the first episode but for some reason that was it.
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
Limitless looks intriguing. I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI also need to check out Lucifer. I watch a ton of British telly, so I'm a big Tom Ellis fan, plus he nice to look at. lol

It's my off day, so you have convinced me to get on Demand and watch this! Like I need another show to obsess over...... LOL! About to check this out in a few, so I'll come back here and let you know what I think after a few episodes.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I don't watch too much TV Braine but this looks like it might be worth my time!
ReplyDeleteThanks for this!
I seldom invest in new series until I know they are going to last. I can think of countless dramas I started watching only to have them get canceled. These days, I watch so little tv that I am behind on everything.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear that it balances witty and funny with the suspense
ReplyDeleteoh yes another tv show for me to try out. I have been looking for a good one.
ReplyDeleteI get On Demand and I rarely see what is on offer. Limitless sounds good.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten into this one yet since I just didn't get through the movie. I think I was doing 5 things at once at the time so I didn't really give it a chance. I will have to really watch it and then watch the series. I also need to watch Lucifer. I did see that it is formulaic but I want to watch it for the humor.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds interesting how it's both dark and suspensefull and also funny. Not sure if it's a series for me as I haven't watched any series like this before. I am glad to hear you're enjoying this one so far and I hope you'll keep enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I love this show and Lucifer is great too. I love it when he gets all demony and mad at someone and lets them see who he really is?
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, you totally have me sold to watch this now! I have really cut back on my shows but I might have to add this one. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe depend on Netflix so I hope this shows up there. I love the sound of it!
ReplyDelete*sigh* I haven't even watch the movie Limitless yet. Ohhh I love Lucifer though!
ReplyDeleteI haven't started watching this one yet - but it's been on my list. I don't watch much TV because I am SO picky. So this makes me happy you love it!
ReplyDeleteI really need to watch the movie before starting this one. It sounds brilliant, it looks brilliant and I have high hopes for it. Happy TV watching! :D
ReplyDeleteI wanted to watch this when it started. But life and other shows got in the way so I haven't watched it. Though, I will say I've been watching Lucifer for the last few weeks and enjoy it. lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. I didn't know Limitless was a series, and I did love the movie!
