Oustanding cast delivers the characters protrayed from episode to epsiode. The general story isn't original but you will be pulled through this one-season series. Dont worry, NeXt does have a proper conclusion. In my opinion, NeXt was always planned to be one epic season-only story. You will end up wanting to unplug your Smart Home after a few episodes.

In this sea of reality TV crud its refreshing to finally get something well written, with good acting, an intriguing storyline that from the 1st episode left me wanting more. Two Thumbs up. Bravo! now if FOX will only keep it running and not cancel it. I mean its getting pathetic all the great shows they keep canceling to replace with crap!

Only started watching this as there was nothing else that peeked my interest, so I wasn't really expecting much. However, I found myself hooked on the first episode, I hope that we get to see a few twists and turns throughout the rest of the season, as this is the type of TV Show that has the means to-do so.

Not bad, give it a go :)

I really liked this and looked forward to watching it every week.

It's very disappointing that there is only one series though.

Tech entrepreneur Paul LeBlanc (John Slattery) warns the world of the dangers from a future rogue computer AI. It is already here. FBI Special Agent Shea Salazar leads the cybercrime unit. She visits her hospitalized friend Richard Weiss who found a hidden computer code. Apparently, someone or something is attacking him with tech. He had left her a tape addressed to LeBlanc with a somewhat paranoid warning. Paul had been kicked out of his own company after shelving his AI program which his brother Ted as the new CEO has reactivated.

This show got the quick axe after two episodes. It probably deserves better but it never gained a good audience. It does have Slattery leading a good cast in a fun thriller. It runs into the foreseeable problem of an omnipotent enemy opposed by a ragtag team. It's an uneven fight unless the AI is brought down a few notches or some contrivances be introduced. This does both with varying degrees of success. My initial thought is that the show should explain why the AI doesn't simply multiple. It's an easy solution. The AI doesn't want competition and therefore it doesn't want other AIs. My other thought is that the ragtag group needs better camouflage. They should be found much more easily by all the security cameras. Either give them some fictional tech or have the AI hack the camera system later in the show. There needs to be a clearer progression of the AI's abilities. The show gets a rushed conclusion. The characters do a bit too much handwringing about their tactics especially in the last few episodes. There is one character who is forced to do unlikely tasks for the sake of drama. All in all, it's a good network TV thriller although some smarter writing would help.
