    The only reason I still continue to watch this tv show is for the English actor Ryan Cartwright, he excels in the role of the autistic, the other characters are really quite dull without interest...

    After watching the first season, I was in LOVE with this series. The writing was fantastic, the storyline was interesting despite being cop-drama styled, and most of all, the characters FELT like characters and the sci-fi was properly done.

The writing was fantastic, the storyline was interesting despite being cop-drama styled, and most of all, the characters FELT like characters and the sci-fi was properly done.

    However, after finishing S02E09, I now understand how this got cut. The writing goes from 9 to 5 in a single episode, where constant movie cliches and sins just start pouring out compared to the rest.

    I originally came on metacritic wondering how anyone could possibly give this series other than a 9. I changed my score to a 6 because all of the wonderful storyline and excellent writing was all undone in the Season 2 episodes. They could have done so much better, but...they didn't. They just didn't, and while few are as disappointing as I am, my score reflects just how poorly the second season began to poorly unravel the mysteries in as cliche of a way as possible.

    Let me reiterate: this isn't because I disliked the end of season or even because I disliked it as a whole: my score reflects how a lot of the amazing and cool stuff from the 1st season and the first 5 episodes of the second season was wholly and utterly discarded to the point where the drop in quality reminds me of a holiday episode or some silly nonsense.    … Expand

    All in all, the Alphas season premiere is competent and enjoyable when it comes to action and pacing, but this show (especially given its modest budget) will rise and fall on the continuation of the character development begun in Season 1, and the jury's still out on that front.
