Absolutely brilliant as some Indigo children are showing
"I am the Alpha and Omega." Ever thought what this ancient writingcontent held? Syfy, you have taken a bold step in t.v. broadcasting story form. How?For those waiting for what 2012 will take this world into, this showcan be considered an insight to the end of present Piscean Age, thatyear and the beginning of whole Aquarius, where that world will havewhat these characters are portrayed common place. Right now, most suchpeople become as the recent episode Summer Glau guest starred, tryingto rid herself of power crazed people after her gift to exploit andtoddler daughter character crayoning esoteric mathematics symbolizingwhat an incarnation here CAN remember from the spirit world whereEVERYTHING IS KNOWN.Sound crazy reader? Review earth's ancient past, to the present we are,has highly forgotten how this world has been reduced presently to myth,legend, folklore because apathy/dark powers do NOT want all humans toknow their gifts as t.v. production is able to technically create forus such Hollywood magic does. Note these characters are recluse?Again thank you Syfy because this is a courageous production in whatentertains we who look for more than meager, mindless, story telling.Take a bow.

yawn!!
I have been watching this show, based on the other reviews, hoping thatmy impression of the series was wrong. Sadly, it wasn't. It ispredictable, almost laughingly so. The only remotely interestingcharacter is Gary. Aside from that the premise, a group of individualswith unique talents under the control of the government, and abenevolent overseer. In other words, they cannot be left to their owndevices otherwise, they could 'implode'. This is the same laughablepremise that is always put forward in order for people watching to feelbetter, so that they can believe the that if there are people like thisin the world, different from them, they can be 'monitored' by peoplethat 'know better'. Really, is this truly what is considered leadingedge good?!?!?I'm not much of a writer, but, I could probably come up with muchbetter premise. Sadly it would never get funded because it would notallow for the concept of benevolent overseers.

limited average stories
I love Sci-Fi, want more, and am always happy to see a new show comeout. That being said, 'Alphas' is a little trite and conventional. Noinnovative or particularly clever/engrossing writing here, just aregular us/them drama that has yet to expand the story into any of thepossible 'big idea' categories. X-men comics do a better job ofexploring alpha/mutant to human conflicts. Characters aren'tparticularly appealing, even in a love-to-hate way. This show has whatI believe to be the kiss of death for any episodic TV program:blandness. I hope the writers get bolder for the 2nd season, every timea Sci-Fi program fails I cringe thinking fewer will be offered in thefuture.

Excellent Characters, Interesting Writing
This is going to be short because I've rated this a 10, with nothingbut delight over how this show is progressing.I just finished watching "Bill and Gary's Excellent Adventure". WithFringe off the air until the Fall, I really have to say that I havefound a satisfying summer replacement.The character's interactions are very creative and entertaining. Eachcharacter has flaws that make this so much more intriguing than asuper-hero action team, perfect and powerful in their own right, whosemain test is to overcome some all-powerful evil. I hope this show gets renewed, The big shock is that the Sci-FiChannel, (SyFY) is hosting this program. This is heads and tails abovetheir other fare, but a welcome surprise.I have to say that I think Gary is emerging as my favorite character inthe series.

Alpha Review
This year I was watching two Sci-Fi series. Alphas and Falling Skies. Ihave to say Alphas has wiped the floor with Falling Skies. It has agood characterization without getting away from the nitty grittyaction. Falling Skies seemed at first like a great series but despiteit being about aliens invading earth it was more terrestrially basedthan out of this world. Alphas managed that perfect blend of showingcharacters and fight scenes. I'm looking forward to the next episodevery much.I'm living in the UK so am watching it on 5* but if thoseacross the pond have reached the end of the series I hope it's good.There is still lots to be told with quite a good plot line with twistsand turns. It isn't that complicated but at the same time they haven'tdumbed it down like most Sci-Fi shows.
Sennara 10 May 2012
Seriously, only watch it when you want to fall asleep right away.
This show used to be somewhat interesting at the first few episodes,but lately it has become so unbearably boring. I can't even finishwatching an episode.The characters are like robots, especially that Gary. He acts exactlylike what he's supposed to be, an idiot. No, not just Gary. All of thecharacters act like they have no brain!There's nothing fun, or at least interesting, in the story, either.These alphas just keep doing meaningless things. Their super powers donot seem to be of any use. They're like a bunch of people being underthreats or attacks all the time. Get a new screenwriter, or better cancel the show, please!

Completely awful
Rarely have I seen a series that completely insults the viewer'srelative intelligence as this one. Alphas has as a premise a team ofpeople with special abilities led by a neurologist who areinvestigating strange cases for the US DoD. The premise itself (as wellas the characters) are bleeding with logical holes that are simply toopainful to bear through the first 6 episodes (I stuck through thisordeal trying to see some potential in the subject). - why is aninvestigative team led by a neurologist? What exactly qualifies adoctor to be an investigator of any sorts? (this is the same hole thatplagues CSI series) Moreover the team also acts as a tactical team ledby nothing else except "Common sense" as none of them are trained to betactical leaders - the only thing they have going is their abilities. -the autistic kid (Bell) can intercept any sorts of wireless signal andprocess the information within "as fast as any computer" (to quote thedoctor). Is he? No. Within the pilot he is shown tracking a direct lineof communication between two mobile phones. Dude! That's not howmobiles work! The signal from one goes to a tower then to the secondphone. At best he would've been able to track the signal to the mobiletower and then get the general location of the second phone (in thatcase a mere triangulation would've given a much more accuratelocation). But wait, there's more! The kid can practically decrypt anyand all protocols carried over a wireless signal. That includes anykind of video stream, TCP packets, communication over SSL, GSM signalsand the list goes on. Any and all encryption algorithms are useless.This kid would be better put to work cracking terrorist communications.Hell, he's the universal decoding machine, in real time! TSL, RSA, AESare useless regardless of cypher strength, which goes way beyond thecombined power of all normal human brains added to the total power ofall the CPUs in the world. - the "marine" (Hicks) could very well bethe equivalent of Bell in abilities. He can't tap communications but hecan process just as fast. - the linguist (Pirzad) - initially herability was described as heightening one sense and lowering the others,but it was changed to "disabling all the others". The problem here isthat it's not just the senses that get boosted. Her ability is againthe equivalent of Bell, because a sense simply feeds information to thebrain. You need absolute knowledge in order to interpret that volume ofinformation. One time she uses a heightened scent to detect complexchemical compounds. But first of all she needs the ability to processthat much detail and then to have a comparison term - this kind ofknowledge is available only to aging doctors in chemistry with so muchexperience. Unless her brain has the infinite processing power of Bell,there's no way she could know what she's smelling. And how could shedescribe the smell to another? It smells like .. aaaa ... potassiumpermanganate? For that she should know from experience what potassiumpermanganate is ... and she's a LINGUIST!!The list goes on, in an annoying and unbearable fashion. I really can'tbelieve that this level of stupidity gets to be compared to Heroeswhere (granted, 1 great season followed by soapy ones) at least thepowers were well defined, strict and well explained.The acting (on the other hand) is decent and on the par with otherseries (Warehouse 13), but the terrible and poor universe given to usby the inept writing and senseless characters turns this show into aterrorizing experience for the average intellect.

I love it.
I loved Ryan Cartwright on Bones. He's the main reason I wanted towatch. Syfy also does pretty decent shows so I decided to take a lookand I was instantly hooked. There's something about the show that setsit apart from the other 'superheros'. Because they're NOT superheroes.They're just people with neurological differences that give themspecial abilities. Abilities that are not over the top and quiteplausible. As well, with these abilities come downsides.Bill, (Malik Yoba) has the ability to gain strength by igniting hisfight or flight response and pumping his adrenaline. You don't see himpicking cars up and tossing in the air over his head. No. He can push acar and he can be a good fighter but he doesn't have a super strength.The downside to this is that once he's going for 5 minutes, it startsto take effect on his body.Nina, (Laura Mennell) has the ability to "influence" or "push" someoneinto completing an act against their will, by simply looking into theireyes. (Doesn't work on Gary, though). Her downside is mostly trustissues being that nobody who knows of her ability can know for surewhether what acts are genuine.Rachel, (Azita Ghanizada)has the ability to enhance her senses, forexample scan a room or read the New York Times from blocks away, butthis comes at the expense of her other senses, leaving her vulnerable.Gary, (Ryan Cartwright) is I think one of the most interestingcharacters just because they haven't done many autistic people onshows. His powers are that he can read electromagnetic wavelengths inthe air. (Nobody can see this but him). He can track signals from cellphones, look things up on the internet and even watch videos fromanywhere. The downside to this is apparently headaches. Some peoplewere mistaken in saying that the downside was that it left himautistic.By the way, to the person who said that Gary had Aspergers (which I hadthought too, being that many people online have stated this fact) thatis incorrect. HE HAS HIGH FUNCTIONING AUTISM, NOT ASPERGERS. This hasbeen confirmed not only by Ryan Cartwright himself on Twitter but onthe show pilot when his file comes up in the beginning, you can seeunder where his power is listed that it says "A high functioningautistic". It's VERY easy to miss! Besides, he doesn't act much likesomeone with Aspergers. He is definitely straight up autistic.Cameron, (Warren Christie) is the newest member of the team and the"sort of bad guy" in the pilot episode. His abilities includehyperkinesis (pardon me if I spelled that wrong) which gives him almostperfect balance, hand-eye coordination, etc. But his skills falter whenhis confidence does.and last but not least, DR ROSEN (David Strathairn)is the leader of thegroup.Saw the 2nd episode and loved it. The characters will develop overtime. This is my new summer show.

Boring.
When you find yourself looking at the clock every now and then whilewatching a TV show and find that only 5 minutes had passed since thelast time you looked at the clock, you know that something is verywrong with the "entertainment."Since the Sci-Fi channel decided to dumb down their programming,including the new Sy-Fy for dummies name, I have been very disappointedwith that network. Still, I had hopes for "Alphas," given the premise,but it just didn't work out.This is "Heroes" for dummies or, even worse, "X-Men" for dummies. It isflat out boring. The characters are boring, the pacing of the show isboring, the dialogue is boring!When I looked at the clock again, already feeling very mentallyfatigued from the boredom and found that only half an hour had passed,I couldn't take it anymore. I shut it off.The dumbing down of America continues... to rave reviews.Sigh.

Re Hash
I have read a few of the previous reviews about it being re-hashed fromprevious SYFY series such as Cape, Heroes and mutant x, but none that Iread mentioned the 4400, it even got the same cast member in(Mahershala Ali (Nathan Clay - Alphas)(Richard Tyler - The 4400). Ijust hope they don't decide to end this series as they did 4400 withoutany closure. But great series I just watched them all in 1 day.The series is the best watched all in 1 hit because I tend to forgetwhat happens from week to week, as well as I hate to miss episodes andwith series like this something always happens within the 13 weekperiod and you end up missing 1 or 2 so watch all at once when you havea few hours keeps it fresh.

Not worth your time.
I was a little excited when i saw the trailer, its been pretty slow onthe TV scene recently and I've been looking for something to engage me.Alphas wasn't it - its the same dull formula that's been seen dozens oftimes before, the acting was flat and the chemistry between thecharacters seemed a little awkward at times, the plot was predictableand nothing at all peaked my interest in the characters or compelled meto want to tune in next week. I wanted to give it less than a 5/10 butif I'm honest I've seen worse attempts and its watchable if your boredand there's really nothing else on.I would wish the show good luck but really i hope its cancelled - andthe sooner syfi can come up with something else and maybe hit the markthis time round.
dbkelley-1 07 May 2012
already developed characters, team has love/hate relationships - it's real life superheros in real life situations
so much fun, I can't wait for the next episode. finally a show thatdoesn't treat us like morons by showing us the minute details of how Amet B and had to work with C to create a new superhero team.nina has an obviously deep and hidden past, gary's character isinteresting and well executed and he has serious tension with Malik'scharacter, it's all very cool.The show gets right to work. Remember this was the PILOT episode thatalready went out and was approved with great viewing numbers in thepast.I expect some great things from the future episodes now that the actorsand writers have gotten to grow with time.

A good quality interesting show
I like how the writers don't immediately pan from one ongoingsubstoryline to another each episode but allows each substoryline playout over time. What I don't like is this 10 month wait for the nextepisode... I love the show, don't get me wrong, but as with mostviewers, if the new season isn't out within a few months of the end ofthe old season i tend to forget about it and move on. There's only somany times one wishes to watch reruns when new content is alwaysemerging and i think it is a bad move for the producers to make viewerswait almost a whole year to see what happened after the end of the lastseason. People are impatient, especially when a nice cliffhanger endinglike the last epi gave us is left to rot and be forgotten.I will TRY to remember how good the show was but 10 months... i doubt iwill.
sagei 05 May 2012
No.
Guy shot in sealed interrogation room. Should grab you by the throat shouldn't it ?Not.The 'freaks banding together to fight evil' concept is decidedlywornout but they give it another shot anyway. And they fire blanks.The powers maybe different but everything else is mind numbinglysimilar to stuff that has been done before and done better.Not one character stands out to engage you intellectually oremotionally. The guy from bones is so like the guy from bones(with someextra hand waving) that you wonder if he is acting or if he just islike this all the time.Some decent parkour sequences but otherwise the pace is plodding. Thedialogue and chemistry between characters is flat. Cast, characters, dialogue, story etc not one thing caught my interestor aroused even a lukewarm desire to see the next episode. Wish them well and hope their work improves but doubt it.Thank you.

More dumb fun Syfy Summer series
Laughable. Stop trying to make Canadian cities look to be US ones (allthe Ontario license plates and that Purolator delivery truck should bedead giveaways that the show is in Canada and not in NYC (asdepicted)). Haven't we seen this all before in Mutant X? I guess SyFymust like it 'cause it's cheaper to make than Stargate Universe. Thewhiny kid could do with getting himself blown up...or better yet, lethim drive the car. It will result in an accident and we'll be rid ofhim. So far I've not seen anything out of the ordinary with this show.I notice that demographically, us over 40's seem to think this show isaverage while the under 20's think it's the best thing since slicedbread. Stick around kids. You haven't seen enough really good stuffyet...PS At least the Marc Bolan/T-Rex fans should get a kick out of themusic and references. I'm not a fan, so I didn't...

Alphas shies from breaking new sci-fi ground
with great power comes great responsibilities, but the writers ofsuperheroes show never seem to get that.Gary Bell is autistic with an ability to (believe it or not) processelectromagnetic info right from thin air, literllay. Bill Harken, aformer FBI agent who can enhance his strength for a brief period oftime; Nina Theroux, can reprogram other people's minds to do as shewants. Rachel Pirzad, who can heighten her senses and do almostanything with them. In the first episode they try to track down anotheralpha with Hyperkinesis or heightened and acute skills and accuracy.This alpha in question is Cameron Hicks (Warren Christie, The L Word)and he doesn't know just how special he is, but another alpha (JeffSeymour) with the ability of mind wipe and control, orders him to gundown an inmate through an air vent several buildings away. Thatmurderous act caught the attention of the government and our alpha'sboss Rosen (David Straithairn). The inherent problem with any series involving people withextraordinary power is that how those will be utlized by writers tocreate interesting story lines. Heroes started good, but after sometimeit became confusing with all the time travel and power shifting. Alphaspilot episode, involving a mysterious sniper attack and aconspiratorial threat to the Alphas team, is routine. It's neither herenor there: low on sci-fi mystery and intrigue and not yet convincing asensemble drama. you never feel the thrill or tension. The mostenjoyable thing about the pilot is the performance of gary bell (Cartwright), who does pretty much the same neurotic, hand- gesturingthing here that he did as Nigel-Murray on "Bones." our alphas havegreat powers but its success will come down to how the superpowers aregoing to be used. How inventive can they be?
Basilisk Cho Ishikir 03 May 2012
This is so amazing! Nigel-Murray is such a great actor, and so adorable!
Alphas is a great SciFi series and I hope it goes far. Five people,called Alphas, have supernatural powers. Strength, Extremesenses,ability to see all forms of electromagnetic wave, mind control,and many more are all stressed in the first episode of suspense andquestions. Bill is aggressive, an so far my least favorite character.Gary is my favorite characters, and that's not just because hes Vincentoff of BONES, but because of his abnormal attitude and great...well,not so great, personality. Nina and the other girl are very conflictingcharacters. On one hand, ones a whore and the other is kinda annoying.On the other hand, Vincent is so cute in this series! Ahem.... Myfamily and I loved this Pilot and hopes the series continues.BTW, the people with negative reviews should have better reasons than,"Oh this is old" or "That's not America!". The show is amazing, and hasNO qualities of the X-men. Why? Because the X-men comics have to dowith SCIENCE and mutations and FOCUS on that. Doesn't that mean EVERYSINGLE SUPERHERO show copy the X-men? No, it means this is different,and action-y and well written!So WATCH IT! It's a great thinker, and leaves you at the edge of yourseat!

Acceptable, but borderline Plagiarizing Heroes
So, anyone else remember the scene with Eden with her power of"Suggestion" from Heroes? The scene where she suggested Matt Parkmannot write her a ticket and go eat donuts? So. Remember the sceneintroducing the woman with the power of suggestion in Episode one? Itwas almost frame by frame, I swear.That particular bit of near plagiarism out of the way, it's actually apassable SciFi (I refuse to spell it the 'new' way) show. I watched thefirst two episodes and I am genuinely interested to see what happensnext. The "Prediction" guy is actually a very compelling villain andI'd like to see him again.Little else to say. It's only four episodes in and I've only seen two.I just really had to express the scene-steal from Heroes.

Decent show, but stupid, stupid, stupid labels
The show has potential with what seems to be decent characterdevelopment, decent writing, and decent acting. I don't know if I'll beable to get over the issues that I have with the show, though. I'm notsure if Rachel is supposed to be written as actually having OCD, orjust compulsive behaviors, so I'm going to reserve judgment on thatone, for now. The way she is written, now, she does not have OCD. Garyseems to be autistic. I don't know where he falls on the scale, and Ido not have the experience with Autism that I have with OCD. I hate thenames of the "gifts." Synesthesia is the involuntary crossing ofsenses. For those that aren't familiar with it, someone withSynesthesia may perceive a bang as a flash of light, for example. Ithas nothing to do with enhancing your senses. Hyperkinesis? ThinkAttention Deficit Disorder or hyper active. It doesn't have anything todo with how well a person's aim is. The other abilities work, I think.Logically, these things really bother me. If other aspects of the show,such as character development and the writing, don't pick up, I don'tthink I'll be able to continue watching it.

Struggle and Survival . . .
I especially appreciate the fact that even though the main characterspossess extraordinary powers and skills, they are pitted, regularly,against forces that press each one of them to dig down inside ofthemselves to produce their top-notch best effort. I find thatinspirational. It is also fascinating to watch the synergistic effectof the team becoming more than the mere sum of its parts. In theclassic sense, a very American concept of facing down formidable oddsand all pulling together.In "Anger Management," the initial premise makes it appear that theteam is over-matched and must be highly innovative in order to succeed.What is more interesting is that the threat, or antagonist, in everyepisode, is always someone who has a problem, someone who can actuallybe helped in some way by the team.To me, the sign of a really sophisticated plot involves more than mereman-versus-man chase scenes and shoot-em-ups. I like man versus selfand man versus society, and this is a show that reflects upon how eachof us, going about our daily routines, adds an enigmatic piece to theamalgam of what we call society, an entity that is constantly changingand really only realized or visualized when we find ourselves in somestressful situation, usually something like a war, a riot, some seriousconflict such the recent donneybrook over the deficit.I also like the focus upon the fact that most of us just idle alongmost of the time, only utilizing just a few percentage points of whatis actually our true potential.I like the show so much I have saved several episodes to watch againwith friends who will come out of town in the near future.There are simply no "dead spots" in the flow of events in "Alphas."Special effects are "gee whiz" amazing, but adhere to the laws ofphysics, biology, chemistry, astro-physics and other sciences.
