Believe

This is not an untarnished genre, but I have found this show to be unique and original. Most notably, the style of the show uses the characters to tell the story, and the plot is subtly interdependent with it. It allows you to think about the plot, rather than forcing you to make singular assumptions about what exactly is going on. It doesn't isolate the viewer through needless and technically proliferous action. By the 3rd episode, I found its depth to be apparent. It is also nice that this appears to be a show that is both family oriented, and has adult themes. I think if you are the type of show goer that wants to see bullets flying everywhere and a bad guy put away at the end of each episode as it builds towards one epic and final exclamation, this is not for you.

Its refreshing to see a show that not only isn't completely predictable, but which also gives off a vibe of being exciting and action packed. Its not all action, and its not all science fiction. Its a mix of the good qualities that any genre of television can provide. Action, humor, science fiction, etc; but without the repetitive nature that seems to come with following a specific genres motifs. Every cop show gives off the same vibe as any other cop show. Believe's vibe is one of a kind that breaks free of genre stereotypes. At least the stereotypes that I worry about. ;) In particular the best aspect of this show, in my opinion, is the innocence of its main character. Too many shows today are about the shock factor to real in viewers. Believe, like any other show, has some of the usual cliques to draw in viewers. But it still provides aspects that are refreshing and wholesome in nature. After all whats better than remembering the good in humanity while watching some cute and exciting television?

Fantastic show so far, Looking forward to seeing the relationship develop more with Tate and Bo. Milton has to be my favorite character so far. Didn't know what to expect from the start but has me gripped. looking forward to seeing the 3rd episode and eventually finding out who Bo's mum is. Expecting lots of plot twist and seeing Bo's "talent" develop over time. a fresh Show idea, just what was needed. I can definitely say I am waiting eagerly for episode 3, and it annoys me to wait for it, but I know it will be worth the wait as it is with The Walking Dead also. Well worth watching for fans of science-fiction, & fantasy shows. keep up the good work. keep me gripped is all i ask :)

To be honest with you all, 'Believe' was the only show that i was looking forward to watching this year, although i must admit that 'The Goldbergs' turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise in the comedy genre.

I have loved almost all of Alfonso Cuarons work,Gravity, Children of men, the guy is a genius. The involvement of JJ Abrams only served to intensify my interest in it.

This is my honest response to watching the pilot episode a few days ago.

The premise of the show is interesting, its similar to 'Touch' but not quite the same. A girl with supernatural powers, being chased by the bad guys and being protected by the good ones.

The Good- The casting is near perfect Jake McLaughlin and Johnny Sequoyah have an amazing on screen chemistry, clearly they are the highlight of the show, Delroy Lindo fits into the scheme of things like a glove in a hand-again spot on casting.

The Bad- Katie McClellan is only partly convincing as an assassin there is a very obvious lack of character development in her case, its kind of odd to see a person kill 5 people in one episode without any remorse and all of a sudden get emotional thinking about her mother.

The Ugly- It came as a shock to me the way the action scenes were filmed in the pilot, really disappointing, the action-drama genre is not something new for Cuaron yet the pilot had a lot of sloppy direction, the hand to hand combat scenes were like a brother and sister getting into a fist fight, the prison escape scene was again totally unconvincing.

I'm going to watch the rest of the season, but i really hope they step things up, you cant blame us for coming to expect more from the guys behind this show who have set such high standards for themselves that we naturally expect more, much more.

Plot summary : Tate (Jake McLaughlin) is on death row and has only 30 minutes until his execution. He's visited by a priest who tells him he's there to help him break out - as long as Tate agrees to do a job for him. Tate agrees and soon finds himself employed by Milton Winter (Delroy Lindo) - who impersonated the priest - and Channing (Jamie Chung) to care for a young girl, Bo Adams (Johnny Sequoyah) who has extraordinary abilities . There are powerful forces who want to get control of her and her skills and Tate's first job is to get her out of the hospital after her , there they are chased by a cruel killer woman (Sienna Guillory). Two major groups are fighting to get to Bo and her supernatural powers . While the connection of Winter and his team to Bo was clear, the involvement of Skouras (Kyle MacLachlan) was murkier , as he is the employer of a mercenary sent to retrieve Bo . Meanwhile , FBI Agent Elizabeth Farrell (Trieste Kelly Dunn) is in charge of tracking down an escapee and Bo Adams . Later on , Bo and Tate are on their way to the safe house in Philadelphia but have to stop in Atlantic City on the way .

Entertaining TV series plenty of action , thrills , suspense and supernatural events . It is a crossover between ¨Touch¨ series and ¨D.A.R.Y.L.¨ film with a little girl and an escaped inmate being pursued by all kind of forces such as CIA , FBI , Police and other strange organizations as a group known as Orchestra . Furthermore , an enjoyable relationship between two main protagonists , the girl with fantastic skills and a death row escapee . Nice acting by Johnny Sequoyah as a little girl who has extraordinary powers , to sense the feelings of others and the ability to influence those around her and acceptable interpretation by Jake McLaughlin as a tough young who cares the child against violent enemies . The first two episodes of "Believe," viewers have seen some of Johnny Sequoyah's powers and been told that she may have even greater untapped abilities , what hasn't been explored, though, is the source of her abilities . Very good support cast such as Delroy Lindo as Milton , Sienna Guillory as a highly skilled assassin , Jamie Chung as enticing Channing , Kyle MacLachlan as nasty Skouras , Rami Malek as Dr. Adam Terry and many others .

The first part is a magnificent thriller chapter introducing the attractive characters ; the second one is a solid episode that, while lacking the visual flair of the pilot, does a good job furthering the story and adding new complications.This is a new NBC ratings hit supernatural series splendidly created by Mark Friedman and recently Oscarized Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) . Being lavishly produced by great TV producers as Bryan Burk , Kathy Lingg , Athena Wickham and J.J. Abrams (Lost , Person of interest , Revolution , Almost human) .
