... View MoreAfter watching the first episode, since it got released to Netflix, all I could really say is Holy crappy flying tentacles Batman.Its probably the best mesh up of two distinct time concepts that I have seen thus far. One aspect reminds me of the campy love story movie Lakehouse where Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock communicate across time by mailbox. The other aspect reminds me of the Butterfly effect, where subtle changes in the past muck up the present. Creating that Back to the Future motive of needing to fix things to restore the present. Will be interesting to see how the show manages to progress the story without being limited by the radio communication.
... View MoreWow 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!
... View MoreWhen I started watching this I was really happy to see that the story unfolded well. I was a bit apprehensive at first, thinking the story about this specific subject could go two different ways. Either it was going to amaze me or be completely disappointing. The complexity becomes greater with each episode, where past and future influence each other. There are different time lines. Life in the past, life in the future, life in the past after a choice changed the time line and time in the future after a choice made a change. I think the way these time lines work together is really attractive.The characters are well played, and quite realistic. However, one character really annoys me. And it may be personal. But I can't get over it. Raimy's mother just keeps going about how her ex-husband chose the job. But he's a policeman who went undercover. Without starting a whole argument about what I think about that in real life I just think that no matter what the issue is, it shouldn't be repeated 10 times every episode. Just let it go already!
... View MoreI just finished streaming Season 1 of Frequency and I really don't get the complaining about the time shifts, I thought the story was great SciFi! Daughter talking to her dead dad 20 years in the past, working together to solve a crime and with each change to the past a subsequent change to the future in each episode making each one a thrill ride. Maybe watching it with a week between episodes made the time shifts and affects hard to follow, but while streaming over 4 days it was easy, and quite enjoyable. Even with the ending in the finale, they made a lot of mistakes but discovered that Robbie was the real killer, not his dad. While his dad killed only his mother, but confessed to the others, then BAM back to just his wife and Robbie blamed for the others but the time line still basically as it was in the pilot, but with improvements! Raimy gets to know her dad Frank, gets her mom back, her best friend is a lawyer. Sure she still lost her dad, but they got 15 years more of good family life together... but now of course the radio is broken and Robbie is stalking her mom in her modern day. I thought Season 1 stood well on its own, but am hoping they don't dump it because of ratings dropping off. Maybe the medium is the key, as a streaming show I thoroughly enjoyed it!
