    It is not as good as the movie. It's very average.

    It's not really like the movie except for the first ep. Honestly I kinda like it now, it's pretty silly and enjoyable.

    I actually really enjoy this show. Also the Deb & Quinn love connection is back with this show, lets bring in MCH as a bad guy or Batista and I'll be happy as a turkey on Thanksgiving.

    This week's episode was a bit of a step back for me. Nice to see them digging a little more into his family life, but "Headquarters!" was an episode where they really nailed it. In the long-term, there's probably not a lot to take away from that other than a standalone ep, but it was an enjoyable hour of tv for me.

    Going to have to see how the full seasons play out, but this is neck and neck with Blindspot for best new show on broadcast.
    Hell of an episode.

    Ew, Blindspot. I try to forget about that show.

    This episode definitely felt different, but it's probably just as simple as the supporting cast got more focus and it was more serious tone than usual, and it was a nice change of pace.

    What's going on with the schedule for this though? I hope they're not going to have some sort of lengthy mid-season break soon, considering there were just 2 weeks off since the previous episode.

    Just getting into this. Ferris Bueller EP was funny, but then they have Babymetal playing in next episode?

    Who is writing this show? Me?

    The weirder thing is, the big names involved are Kurtzman & Orci, who are also responsible for Scorpion, Hawaii 5-0, and Sleepy Hollow.
    So, yeah, not exactly sure how that happened.

    I watch it as well and really enjoy it. The end of last week's ep was one of my favorite things ever (after the credits).

    Hmm... Fuck now I gotta rewatch it. I'm loving the show, it's maturing well and we even got another Bradley Cooper episode. There was a pretty big twist in the latest episode and we now know who the antagonist is going to be. Another thing is that they seem to be building up to something much much bigger than the petty stuff they deal with on a weekly basis. Yes the show does have a sort of a monster of the week thing going but they really spice it up and you can tell midseason that they knew the show wouldn't last on random FBI investigations alone.

    This is one of the few shows that I find hard to predict what the next episode will be about. The latest episode leads me to believe that they're going to end the first season with a bang, or at least a large revelation. I'm hoping that season 2 pivots to something much more riskier, and higher stakes. Though I love the show's quirkiness I don't know if I can do another 22-24 episode season of Brian being an FBI lackey, putting out small fires everywhere while trying to keep everything a secret. I'm hoping they fleshed out the story enough that we can see Brian really utilize NZT for a better goal than just "doing good". It's probably nothing but the scene with Bradley Cooper in the latest episode really got me thinking that Limitless could really go somewhere bold and risky. It reminds me of Lucy which had so much potential but the last quarter of the movie was completely squandered because the writers didn't know what to do with what they had. Limitless has the potential to scratch that itch, maybe not to the extreme that Lucy went but nonetheless give us something meaty and original.

    Sadly, the writing is pretty average and this seems to be pretty high budget for a CBS show. I'm sure they'll take the easy way out and play on the Deborah(Rebecca), Sands and Piper arcs until the show is run into the ground.
