Real acting talent isn't depend upon language. The skillful utilization of space and time, combined with agile adaptation of voice, eyes, body language and other nuances, to character, conflict, imagination and verisimilitude (convincing me wholly that what is fantasy, is truly happening before my eyes). "Alphas" evinces every one of these essential ingredients; I quickly forget that they are merely acting; the story and the performers come alive within their personae like a glove indistinguishable from skin.
I suppose that when an intriguing series is cut short after only two seasons, that truncation leaves aficionados of the performers with keenly whetted curiosities, eager for more, somehow, some way, some day.
