      Audience Reviews for Emergence: Season 1

      • May 23, 2023

        S1E11: They said, they contacted Piper on CB (11m) radio. That's not true, since the radio device they used in s1e10 was an amateur radio. Besides that, they used a 2m frequency (142,205MHz), that is not approved for HAM radio, which starts at 144MHz. Only thing i missed, is that stupid fictional "over and out" phrase...

      • Dec 04, 2021

        Really enjoyed this show. Ended far too soon.

      • Jul 27, 2021

        Significantly better and gripping than about 90% of the "popular" shows out there but I think I do know why it has been cancelled. It needs comedy elements. It's just serious. Zero humor. People don't like that.

      • Feb 21, 2021

        Bone of the best shows I've seen in ages. Good clean entertainment. Can't understand why they aren't going for a season 2 or even 3. If ABC can't market it they need to sell it to Netflix, I'm sure it would rocket into the charts on there. It would be far more popular. Great cast. No language, just a good story. Such a disappointment they aren't doing more

      • Dec 15, 2020

        I like this show l thought it was intriguing, imaginative, and showed how family cares about their children... even when they weren't biological to the family!!

      • Oct 17, 2020

        I really enjoyed watching this show. I was looking forward to watching a second season. Please bring it back!! I want to find out what happens next!!

      • Aug 14, 2020

        That girl robot who plays in Emergence as piper is a human Robot that's really bad

      • Aug 13, 2020

        Overall, a solid show. Had some good bits, some unnecessary filler, and one or two plots and characters that could have been better thought out, but a good cast ultimately keep it on track. I would have been happy to watch a second season but, alas, it was a one and done. A little derivative at times, but the personality of the cast wins you over.

      • May 26, 2020

        The idea of Emergence is great - the "world" is uniquely created to involve many phenomenal plot twists that are no doubt used to the show's advantage. However, the idea is butchered in execution. Allison Tolman stands out amongst a sea of "meh" actors, and even her performance is choppy (at best). The writers completely destroy the show with terrible character creation that quite simply doesn't provoke thought or display emotion - much less feel at all genuine. The entire setup is based on a storyline that would be good if the world felt more real and the characters felt like human beings instead of robots just attempting to push along a plot. This is a fine show to watch to pass the time but feels like a knockoff, no-detail, horrid version of skillfully made series in the sci-fi genre.

      • May 04, 2020

        A strong cast of compelling characters and twisty, quirky plot lines lure you into coming back again and again. As one of those truly awful people who can guess the ending from the beginning, I am happy to say that doesn't happen to me here. It's that original.
