    The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

    It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

    Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

    Cancelled before it could really explore what was shaping up to be a really cool world, I can't say it made for super compelling TV either. It's easy to see why it was cancelled though it did have some stuff working for it. A diverse cast was super noticeable and awesome, there were a couple episodes exploring some interesting themes -- especially racial profiling rubbing up against the normal tools law enforcement possess and what those tools may be in the future. That was an exceptional episode. The main actress is also fantastic, I thought. But Dash had some problems. When you have an unlikeable and awkward character like that you need to really work to endear him, which only began much later in the series. What really hampered it though was the fact that all three of the precogs were basically just used as representations for meta arguments that the movie has already made really well. They retread ground frequently while trying to humanize them, the conflict is really apparent and at time jarring and I think ultimately that is what led to the show being cancelled so early on.It also suffers from what most cyberpunk TV shows suffer from, they never nail the low life aspect of the show. The new Incorporated show knew this and in the end I liked it because it ended up being a primary focus. When you're characters all look perfect and the arguments are all from the ivory tower in a sterile environment, you miss the veneer that makes cyberpunk really resonate with everyday people. It ends up looking and feeling a little cheap, unfortunately. I still enjoyed watching it but I can't say I am surprised it was cancelled and am going to be super sad there isn't a season 2. Like usual, at least they showed me some sweet tech~

    I read a few comments on this website where people compared the TV version with the movie and commented that the TV version should stick with the same theme as the movie. I actually disagree. The movie talked about whether people should be arrested for crimes they haven't committed because future can be changed. The TV version discussed that as well but focused more on whether the world should sacrifice 3 people to save thousands. However, the entire TV version has nothing to do with the 'minority report'. This term only showed up in the last episode. So really, why spend a fortune buying the license when instead they can create a whole new story by altering the structure slightly. For people who watched the movie they actually had high hopes with the TV version continuing the movie;s plots. Well at least audiences would not be as negative if this TV series has a different name I guess. Two characters I dislike the most are Dash and Vega, but unfortunately they are the leading roles. Vega acted badly, or I guess they could have picked a better looking actress, whereas Dash's character was just plane stupid. There are too many weak spots in the plot as well. Examples: if Vega has the heat sensing technology why don't she use it more often? Sometimes Vega just forgotten that she has this function in her VR contact lens and put herself and her partner at risk in the crime scenes. She knew showing the octopus tattoo drawing in front of Blake would expose Dash and she still insisted on doing it. Dash is too arrogant, it's quite simple logic that if he lays low, he won't risk exposing himself, Arthur and Agatha, plus saving more lives in long term. But I guess he is too much of a good person that just has to save this next victim even if it means he'll get caught and won't be able to save the thousands of victims after he got caught and gets put to jail. If he is that worried about other people's life why don't he turn himself in and keep saving more people living in the milk bath? Even without the other two he could still help right, like he's been helping Vega? And at the end, he doesn't want to kill Blomfeld but he has to sacrifice Vega. While Blomfeld only works for money and Vega could save more lives doing her job, it's not a tough decision right?I had many questions in my mind while watching the TV series, but I did indeed watch all the episodes so I guess it's not that bad after all.

    I really like this show. It got better as the show went on. It got me emotional at times, there are some moments of absolute brilliance. Bringing Christopher Heyerdahl as a villain was a great move, he suits the part perfectly. Last episode was amazing. It's actually well set up for a second season. Fox has canceled a lot of great shows and I really don't know why people (like producers) even sign up with them at all. I'm hoping a Netflix/Amazon/Hulu could jump in and get this show going if Fox don't continue with it. Meagan was so hot too, and her jackets were great, where do you get them from? Loved them. I see a lot of negative reviews but I really think Americans are way too spoiled and picky. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    When I heard that they were making an adaptation for Cruise's 2002 Science fiction, I was hyped, Then I heard that Fox was producing, And suddenly I had mixed feelings, Although Fox is known for making great science fiction, They do tend to cut the show before it gets to take off. E.g. Firefly, Almost Human etc.Law Enforcement getting help from civilians or even criminals seems to be quite the trend in TV shows these day e.g. Limitless,Blindspot,The Mentalist, The Blacklist etc. As the pattern continues with this series, As one of the three PreCogs is hidden amongst civilians trying to prevent crimes from occurring, however without his siblings, There is only so much he can do, As he is only one piece of the puzzle and it doesn't seem to be enough. Although this is produced by some serious names including Spielberg, It is a fairly weak adaptation, Especially when compared to the movie.Grade: F
