jlthornb51 An excellently intelligent science fiction program that featured some brilliant writing, imaginative direction, high production values, and superb performances by an outstanding cast. Brent Spiner and Peter Dinklage do some wonderful characterizations and steal every scene in which they appear. Without them, Threshold wouldn't be nearly as interesting as it is. Charles Dutton is adequate but unfortunately overused, ubiquitous in series television and therefore rendered ineffective by repetition. The first two dozen similar characters he has played have sometimes worked but he doesn't fit into this particular ensemble. His presence is simply jarring and often downright irritating. However, it is Carla Gugino who anchors the drama and proves again what a gifted actor she is. Her interpretation of the character of Molly is nothing short of magnificent, dynamic, and fascinating. It doesn't hurt that every frame with her image is mesmerizing and she lights up the screen as few actresses can. The camera simply loves her and the directors are wise enough to let their lenses linger on her and allow her just a few seconds more than the usual time in every close-up, leaving the audience satisfied yet still craving more. There is no doubt that when she appears, the viewer can't take their eyes off her. She is intelligence, beauty, and strength personified. The charisma and magnetism of Gugino is magnified by her natural beauty and stunning eyes. She is no Emily Watson but she is still quite good. The cast has strong chemistry and their interactions, with the exception of Dutton intrusion, are the best part of the program. Overall, this is a very satisfying science fiction series that deserved to remain on the air because it had so much potential and so much more to offer viewers.
jdana-2 I actually missed this series when it was on and found it by accident while searching for other Peter D. stuff. It looked interesting so I bought the series. I started it on Saturday morning and watched it straight through back to back episodes! I couldn't believe how good it was! Each episode got more and more involved, blending more characters and beefing up the plot. Every episode was edge of the seat with wonderful comedy tucked here and there. I don't know the story behind the cancellation, but this one really deserves a comeback provided the original cast can be acquired still. I haven't seen such great character chemistry with such a big group of people since star trek. I especially loved how each "department" headed by one of the original people was starting to evolve to include newcomers as the task became larger. I would have loved to see this go to the next season as the storyline held such promise. It was a complete screw up to let this one go!
Anonymous Please For what I intend to do, this series merits a complete and total ten. I watched this series one hundred percent because Brent Spiner (Dr. Nigel Fenway) is in it. That's all. From a member of his faithful little army, IT'S WORTH IT. Good god, is that man stunning. You have to wonder what CBS was thinking when they decided to can this series without even bothering to tell us. When is Hollywood going to learn that thirtysomething women are really, really, really into older men? How many Lara Flynn Boyles and Callista Flockharts have to date how many Jack Nicholsons and Harrison Fords before these morons figure out that what younger women want is that touch of gray with gorgeous eyes and a perfect backside? I could seriously go on forever about it, and I might.It doesn't hurt that the series is important and engaging. If you're in a mind to question recent "national security" efforts, the story here will definitely give you pause. Everything about the story will have you asking "What if that's really why they're doing this?" You'll spend a few days in a dream seeing aliens everywhere. It's really a great ride, and if you're into scifi at all, you'll love it.But if you're one of my grrlz (and if you are, you know who you are) you owe it to yourself to catch the series. Spiner's absolutely mindblowing. Buy wine and chocolates first.
general-melchett Our TV world revolves around three main types of show - hospital dramas, crime dramas and sci-fi dramas. Some of them are corkers (there are corkers in all three categories) whereas some of them are total cr*p. Threshold just is. It serves no real purpose and is really just made to try and hook a few more people who were going off Sky a bit. But it didn't hook me. I watched about five minutes of it before I switched over - it is mundane and uninspired. The Threshold logo looks interesting and the trailer is superbly gripping, but all trailers for crime/sci-fi series try to put in as much action as possible to get you into them, when all you're really going to be watching is a group of boring old gits talking to each other in buildings rather than blowing things up. At least Doctor Who is enjoyable and action-packed. This is just boring and shows a lack of imagination and ideas. My review can't be very detailed because I've seen so little of it, but that helps prove my case even further, if you get my drift. 4/10
