When Holden wakes up from a coma that lasted 12 years, the young man discovers that he has new abilities, which land him in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. Now that he is out of his coma, Holden must figure out what happened to him during the past dozen years and how to survive in the world that has changed significantly while he was in his coma. But perhaps the biggest question of all is why it happened to him. As Holden tries to adjust to adulthood -- all he remembers is being a child -- mysterious Willia warns him not to trust the people around him.

All of this postcoma supernaturalism is familiar, of course... That doesn't mean the territory can't be revisited effectively, and this show... has good bones... But when it most needs to be intriguing - at the start - it's just ordinary. Go to Full Review

As it is, Beyond's characters are so bland and their dilemmas so unremarkable that it may be difficult to make it through the show's two-hour pilot. Go to Full Review

It's not that Beyond is bad, it's that there is so much more on TV these days that is more worth your time. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
That's really where Beyond shines: a production value that elevates the standard and editing that injects electricity into the familiar. It's fun and safe, with a cast that sharpens the dull edges. Go to Full Review
Elizabeth Rayne Den of Geek 01/03/2017
The power of this series lies not necessarily in its plot and characters as much as its ability to send viewers hurtling through virtual reality without any more equipment than their own senses. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
It's tough to imagine adding yet another mysterious sci-fi show into the jam-packed schedule. But with Beyond you'll get a conspiracy, supernatural abilities, and the heart-warming family moments to give you those fuzzy feelings. Go to Full Review
