I have to start off my review by admitting I have never seen the movie Minority Report, so I went into the Fox show blind. I don’t know if that helped or hurt me, but I really enjoyed the show that debuts at 9p tonight.
Three kids (Agatha and twin boys Dash and Arthur) were born brain dead because their parents were drug addicts, but science found a way to save them and give them back their lives. Then one day the three of them started having visions and they are able to see murders before they happened. When the scientists realize what they could do, they hooked the Precogs up to machines and for 10 years they were left in a pool of water only to solve crimes before they happened. When science was done with them because there is no crime left, they are shipped off to an island and never to be heard from again.
Or so they thought. It is now 2065, Dash (Stark Sands) left the island and is living in a big city. He can see how people will die, but his brother knows all the details. Without Arthur (Nick Zano), Dash can’t always solve the murders. Arthur is a successful businessman and he doesn’t want anything to do with his past. Agatha (Laura Regan) on the other hand wishes Dash would stop using his gift and remain hidden.
One day, Dash gets to a murder too late and he tries to help the detective find the murderer. Detective Lara Vega (Meagan Good) is suspicious of him until she realizes he is a Precog. Now they are working together to solve crimes. He has the visions and she has the know how and that makes them the perfect team in this thrilling procedural.
The best way to describe Minority Report, is that is a cross between Sleepy Hollow and Almost Human. If you like those shows, then you are going to like this one too.

Then at 10p over at ABC, Castle is back and there will be a lot of changes coming this season.
Castle (Nathan Fillion) gives Beckett (Stana Katic) a gorgeous bracelet for her first day as a Captain. She has to go to One Police Plaze before going to work, but she never shows up. Later on when he is called to a bloody murder, he finds her bracelet in the blood. Now, she is missing and it looks she is working with the person who committed the murders.
While at the crime scene, Castle, Ryan (Seamus Dever) and Javi (Jon Huertas) come across a woman and Hayley (Toks Olagundoye) is a quick-witted, free-spirited, former Scotland Yard police officer. Everyone is suspicious of her but they still work with her. After all it is Beckett, and they will do anything to find her before it is too late.
This year’s season premiere feels a lot like last year’s and I didn’t like the whole Castle missing story last year. In other words, I am not liking the changes they made even though I like Toks Olagundoye.
