12 monos

This is one of the series that you are happy you started watching. So so so underated. If you like sci-fi and time travel you are simply NOT ALLOWED to miss this show. Most people that write bad reviews here didn't bother to see how the story is unfolding and how many layers there are. Trully appreciate the fact that each season is better than the previous. That is something rare in TV.

So the thing is , i was one of those who watched 12 monkeys the movie in the late 90's and it was a revolution then..

Anyway SyFy is doing a good job in many shows and a TV show based on a blockbuster Hit movie is risky ,, but since the Pilot everything is working smoothly, the dates are attracting, the events and how things in 2016 will get messy , the Time traveling also was spot on.

Also the butterfly effect is present in some episodes. the casting is brilliant, Aaron Stanford was not that memorable face apart from his role in "Nikita" . a new faces like Amanda Schull and the German Barbara Sukowa made it look more fresh.

The writing is good, having 6 writers so far and 12 episode have been credited makes it various and new. and the most important thing , the Cinematography and Visual Effects are great , but it's nothing new on SyFy, i mean they used to things like these.

honestly, nothing elevates to an original story or a first movie , not even a sequel ,, but this show is damn close ;)

If you love the concept of TIME TRAVELING trust me this was worth it Main highlight of the show was a impressive Screenplay that shifting the time from 2043 to 2013 to 2015 to 1987 and the viewers will not get confused anywhere they just keep it very plain and simple I just watched 13 episodes of season 1 today and here i am writing this review If you want to just watch a show worth your time i just came to know that season 2 & 3 are more far better than season 1 TRUST ME THIS WAS WORTH WATCHING ONE OF THE MOST UNDER RATED SERIES EVER

SyFy has outdone themselves with this remake, I was expecting the typical SyFy lackluster writing and transparent acting. I am glad to say that they have hit this out of the park in my book. The story is close enough to the original that you kind of feel comfortable in the universe but changed enough to freshen it up. The actors and actresses all do a really good job. I am impressed and waiting for more! The story line feels very thought out and not just thrown together, I am enjoying the changes they made to the "present" time it feels more realistic(not sure of how to describe it) than the 1995 movie. The lead actor Aaron Stanford really nails the part of Cole, as does Amanda Schull as Cassie. I hope they get a series 2 and keep this going! Best show SyFy has done in a very long time.

This show has a beginning and an actual ending. Not every show can offer that. This TV show is underrated and that's a shame. People need to watch this!
