Reminiscent of the Twilight Zone. Great cinematography.Have watched multiple times. Highly recommend.

Although I have never seen the British version of this series, "The Syndicate", and I have heard rave reviews, I was pleasantly surprised with this show and was sorry to see it was canceled so quickly. It offers a cast of relatively unknown "fresh" faces which is very welcome in a series like this. The actors and producers did a good job on this show at a time where it seems like networks are often quick to jump on the bandwagon for what else is currently considered a hit, whether it be a fantasy, western, crime drama, etc. It is nice to see a story line that has not been recreated on multiple TV shows.

I am also continually disappointed with good shows being canceled after such a short period of time. I almost never watch live TV anymore, but rather catch shows online or on the DVR so my viewings aren't even counted. Have we not learned anything from shows like Arrested Development which were prematurely canceled? Why a show like this gets canceled while another one remains on air solely because of star names or time slot is beyond me. I would rather watch a good show with a lesser known cast than a bad show with a celebrity lineup. I hope they realize they made a mistake and bring the show back or at the very least offer the remaining 5 episodes already in the can for streaming....
