fraser-simons Cancelled before it could really explore what was shaping up to be a really cool world, I can't say it made for super compelling TV either. It's easy to see why it was cancelled though it did have some stuff working for it. A diverse cast was super noticeable and awesome, there were a couple episodes exploring some interesting themes -- especially racial profiling rubbing up against the normal tools law enforcement possess and what those tools may be in the future. That was an exceptional episode. The main actress is also fantastic, I thought. But Dash had some problems. When you have an unlikeable and awkward character like that you need to really work to endear him, which only began much later in the series. What really hampered it though was the fact that all three of the precogs were basically just used as representations for meta arguments that the movie has already made really well. They retread ground frequently while trying to humanize them, the conflict is really apparent and at time jarring and I think ultimately that is what led to the show being cancelled so early on.It also suffers from what most cyberpunk TV shows suffer from, they never nail the low life aspect of the show. The new Incorporated show knew this and in the end I liked it because it ended up being a primary focus. When you're characters all look perfect and the arguments are all from the ivory tower in a sterile environment, you miss the veneer that makes cyberpunk really resonate with everyday people. It ends up looking and feeling a little cheap, unfortunately. I still enjoyed watching it but I can't say I am surprised it was cancelled and am going to be super sad there isn't a season 2. Like usual, at least they showed me some sweet tech~

rikuriku-87175 I read a few comments on this website where people compared the TV version with the movie and commented that the TV version should stick with the same theme as the movie. I actually disagree. The movie talked about whether people should be arrested for crimes they haven't committed because future can be changed. The TV version discussed that as well but focused more on whether the world should sacrifice 3 people to save thousands. However, the entire TV version has nothing to do with the 'minority report'. This term only showed up in the last episode. So really, why spend a fortune buying the license when instead they can create a whole new story by altering the structure slightly. For people who watched the movie they actually had high hopes with the TV version continuing the movie;s plots. Well at least audiences would not be as negative if this TV series has a different name I guess. Two characters I dislike the most are Dash and Vega, but unfortunately they are the leading roles. Vega acted badly, or I guess they could have picked a better looking actress, whereas Dash's character was just plane stupid. There are too many weak spots in the plot as well. Examples: if Vega has the heat sensing technology why don't she use it more often? Sometimes Vega just forgotten that she has this function in her VR contact lens and put herself and her partner at risk in the crime scenes. She knew showing the octopus tattoo drawing in front of Blake would expose Dash and she still insisted on doing it. Dash is too arrogant, it's quite simple logic that if he lays low, he won't risk exposing himself, Arthur and Agatha, plus saving more lives in long term. But I guess he is too much of a good person that just has to save this next victim even if it means he'll get caught and won't be able to save the thousands of victims after he got caught and gets put to jail. If he is that worried about other people's life why don't he turn himself in and keep saving more people living in the milk bath? Even without the other two he could still help right, like he's been helping Vega? And at the end, he doesn't want to kill Blomfeld but he has to sacrifice Vega. While Blomfeld only works for money and Vega could save more lives doing her job, it's not a tough decision right?I had many questions in my mind while watching the TV series, but I did indeed watch all the episodes so I guess it's not that bad after all.

ericrnolan The first episode of television's "Minority Report" (2015) has all the bells and whistles of it 2002 cinematic source material, but little of its skilled storytelling. I'd rate it a 6 out of 10, and that probably reflects my positive bias connected with my love for the classic film.The show looks great — the special effects are well thought out, well rendered, and in abundance. Visually and in terms of its fictional technology, this is terrific way to revisit the future that was painstakingly envisioned for the fantastic movie. The show is an earnest follow-up, too; you can tell that the writers respect the film and were reaching for its unique vibe and its fast-paced suspense.Regrettably, the pilot here just doesn't suggest that this will be an unusually good show. The writing and directing are average, at best, and some of the acting is downright poor. A hastily conceived plot features one of the movie's plot-driving psychic "precogs" rushing to intervene in future murders, which he can still predict, like some kind of lone, nonviolent, pre-emptive vigilante. A cheesy covert partnership develops between him and a tough-and-sassy-but- sexy, single, female cop. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Cue the bad dialogue. I honestly think my friends and I could have come up with something better than that.Oh well. It can't all be "A" material. At least, that's what I've been telling people who bitch about my jokes on Facebook. And this was just the pilot — maybe the show will get better.

Paola Dee I'm a junkie. It doesn't even have to be really good stuff. I'll consume it... As long as the hook is Sci-fi. Rare is it so painful that I can't bear it.I think I'd rather pluck every hair off my arms than endure another moment of Minority Report. I don't know what is more painful, Meagan Good's disturbing eye-brows or her horrendous acting.And I simply cannot explain my irrational desire to slap Stark Sands upside the head - like my Nonna use to do when we behaved like idiots. Maybe it's because he's always on the verge of crying... It's just so annoying.I'm never going to get those hours back. Hours better spent doing laundry, dusting, polishing silverware... Anything else, really. But if I can spare you the wasted time, I'm happy to!
