The Season 4 premiere... is a decent demonstration of the show's charms: some action, some humor, some dystopian high-tech intrigue and an ensemble of actors who seem to be having fun and whose characters actually seem to care for one another. Go to Full Review Alexa Planje AV Club 09/24/2014

Murilo B @Murilo2026 Jul 29 Film: 5, Screenplay: 5, Acting: 5, Directing: 5, Heart: 5, I found the series very original. Reese and Harold are great characters. The early seasons were incredible. After the introduction of Samaritan, the story was rushed too much. I found that a shame, as there was so much story left to tell. See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Mar 19 Shaw's almost superhuman abilities drag it down a little, but knows how to work with ROOT and Acker really delivers See more Clara Y @RT49213015 10/26/2024 Welcome to the machine. See more 07/01/2022 Top marks. Keeps me interested, not spoon fed. See more i already d @wanderingeyes 02/15/2021 Season 1-3 were consistently 5-star with missteps here and there. But in season 4 the writing has gotten a little bit heavy-handed in the dialogue department as things proceed onward, not over-the-top or all the time but far moreso than the first 2 or 3 seasons. And the I.T. mumbo-jumbo factor has regrettably gone up too, becoming much more in non-reality based, e.g. CSI-style "enhance that image. there!" sigh. We loved how grounded the tech elements were early on in the show. The writing becomes convoluted, exposition heavy (which is entirely unnecessary) and even hamfisted at times. I hope they can course correct by season 5. See more 01/11/2021 Very good series👍👍 See more Read all reviews
