Frequency

Solid performances and edge of your seat suspense.

Really pleased to discover they're going to work the different layers of the time-lines. Doing that, they can blow this series wide open.

The photography is great and the music fits nicely. They stuck with the main characters for the first episode, instead of watering it down by spending more time with the secondary players.

This may end up being one of the best "about time" stories I've ever seen. I really, really enjoyed the first episode and I'm so looking forward to more.

I can't recommend this highly enough.

Wow what a great series, I love it.

The first episode was so exciting. I've watched the whole season in 2 days. I think everybody is way too negative about this. Even after the plot twists i wanted to watch the rest of the episodes. This is one of the best series I've seen. A combination of tension, humor and love.

I really hope for a season 2, it is my favourite series!

This is one of my favorites shows this season. I only watched the pilot but it looks very promising.

It's a TV show based on the 2000 film of the same name. It is a fantasy series but a serious one.

Although its premise has nothing really to do with time traveling, the repercussions are pretty similar. A young female cop in 2016 opens a communication channel with her soon-to-be dead father in 1996 who is also a cop working undercover. In her attempt to save his life, she passes critical information to him that change their lives (and those around them) dramatically.

The pilot episode has a remarkably balanced tone. Everything collaborates almost perfectly to create an atmosphere that is both moving and exciting.

The leading couple of Peyton List (the daughter) and Riley Smith (the father) have great chemistry and their scenes "together" are really touching.

The script isn't over-the-top and it doesn't defies logic as another "parallel universes" series of this season (Timeless). The music and the songs work well in this too.

Overall: The subject is trite and it has misused countless times, but "Frequency" deals with it with great care. The two leads give great, touching performances, and the show looks entertaining and interesting. Highly Recommended.

UPDATE (after seeing the 6th episode): The show has lost many of its initial virtues that I pointed out in my Pilot's review. The plot now seems less interesting, the atmosphere is failing to be captivating ( the Nightingale scenes look like a bad episode of Maggie Q's "Stalker"), its logic starting to fail with numerous plot holes (not to mention the brand new "It is Karma" (inevitable soon or later) element that they introduced to us in episode 1x06) and in the end it seems less and less entertaining. I'll keep watching for now but it starts to bore me and I started to dislike the main characters now that we know more of their actual personalities.

If you are fed-up seeing Barry messing up time-lines and creating complications ,this show is perfect. Loved the pilot. They kept it simple with the science and acting is good. Peyton List was enough for me to watch it.

I haven't seen the original movie and i guess that makes it more sweeter. Don't care about the science and how much it makes sense in reality but it indulges you and that should be enough.

Looking forward for next episode.

Give it a try.

Thanks CW. 8.5/10

Since I was a big fan of the movie I also enjoyed the changes in the new television show. I will watch again next week. Love the two lead actors. There is a big mystery with who the daughter and father can trust. I loved the 1996 time period and I thought the makeup artists did a good job aging the police officers. I liked the idea she was still in her childhood home. She has never recovered from the loss of her father and now has the chance to get to know him all over again. I look forward to finding out what happened to her parent's marriage. Their are similarities to the movie and Dennis Quaid is hard to beat but I hope viewers will give this show a shot. This is not time travel exactly but so interesting with the Ham radio. My favorite scene was when the daughter brought the radio to the hospital.
