Alphas is going to debut on Syfy at 10p and this show will be your weekly must watch show! It is a like a cross between Heroes (when it was at its best) and the procedurals that are currently on the air but better.
Alphas is about a team of people who have special abilities and use them solve unsolvable crimes. David Strathairn leads the team. Ryan Cartwright (Bones) plays an autistic man who can see electrical frequencies and pin point where a cell phone call is coming from. Azita Ghanizada (General Hospital: Night Shift) plays a woman who can enhance one sense at the cost of the other ones and that can put her at risk. Laura Mennell has the ability for people to do what she wants and see what she wants, great power to use for bad but she does it for good. Malik Yoba (Girlfriends) can give himself an adrenaline rush, but that tires him out quickly and puts him at risk. And finally the newest member will come to them during a case.
Alphas is a well done enjoyable show that will have you guessing what will happen next up until the credits roll and then you are going to want to know what is going to happen next week.
When I got the screener, I wasn’t hot on the show. But once I watched it, I couldn’t tear myself away from it and there are not many pilots I can say about that. I seriously can’t wait to see what they do next because they set up some great scenarios for the future episodes!
Alphas is a great fit with Syfy’s two other Monday hit shows Eureka and Warehouse 13. So put on Syfy tonight at 8p and put away your remote until 11:30p because you are not going to need it until Alphas ends.
