Stitchers

I just finished watching the third episode of Stitchers. I read the bad reviews above and don't agree. This show is interesting. Each episode so far has promised something more to be revealed about the plot. The premise, that a group of young scientists working for a secret organization that can probe the minds of the recently deceased, is an interesting one. If only the dead could talk.... I've enjoyed all the episodes so far - fast-paced goal centered, not a lot of drama (too much drama irritates me), some humor and characters that are slowly being revealed and getting to know each other. I like that there is not a lot of "meaningful conversation", but just the banter that normally passes between coworkers. No it's not philosophically deep or scientifically accurate - but it's entertaining.

Well, this is another sci-fi-ish series with the unoriginal idea to examine people's memories to find clues that could help prevent a crime like a bombing. Instantly my mind went to "Source code" (because in the pilot is about hidden bombs too), but if you count that these memories are from ...dead people you may also have an iZombie rip-off (which I stop seeing as I got bored).

There is a secret federal Agency, of course. And a special lab. And some Special hackers and scientists. And the heroine is ...special, with some form of brain dysplasia (like maybe the producers???). And everything is ...special BUT the problem is doesn't feel like it.

Emma Ishta, the lead actress, looks like a cross between a tall Scarlett Johansson and Taylor Swift but she is annoying as @#$&@. A pretty good reason NOT to see the show.

Technically also is sub-par. The graphics during the flashback are uninspiring and you've seen it before a 1000 times.

So. What is the target audience for this? I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure I'm not in it. I suspect most of you too...

I think this show is interesting. it is true that there is alway this circle that a couple of series would stick to, but I think this show is going to get better if it gets a shot just like the other TV shows. the main characters are interesting, and from the three episodes I have seen so far, they are being better developed each time. the plot at first seems so obvious and nothing much to expect, but as we keep watching it reveals that nothing is what is seems to be, maybe somethings are easy to predict still not all of them which push the suspense admirers stick to the show a little bit more. I believe that around the 10th episode it will receive better critics and more followers. you will never know until you try.

College student Kirsten Clark (Emma Ishta) suffers from temporal dysplasia, an inability to sense the passage of time. She is recruited into the highly secret government Stitcher program. It is an experimental machine used to tap into the memories of the recently deceased. Maggie Baptiste is the leader and Cameron Goodkin is the leading scientist. Kirsten's roommate Camille Engelson is revealed to be monitoring her for the program before she was recruited. Kirsten's dead father is revealed to be connected to the Stitcher program.

Emma Ishta is not that good as an actress. That's why her social awkwardness with the temporal dysplasia is so helpful. She actually fits her character. The show suffers after her normalization. The sci-fi premise is ok and the stitching is not the most compelling aspect of the show. I guess a wet Emma injects some sexiness but it's all a little cheap. Allison Scagliotti provides good sass but it's not always maximized. The start is acceptable level of TV sci-fi but the show deteriorates over its three year run.

Show was a good sci-fi show, then in season 3 they decided to spend a good portion of each episode focusing in the characters romantic relationships. 3 different couples all making out with their partners on every show. I had to fast forward so much just to get back to the plot. That ruined it.
