    weak main - i doubt that a person who looks into the star and says "we are all part of something greater" would behave like that when something life changing entered his life,instead hes all emo,literaly everything i dont want to see when when i watch movie!

    Plot & Graphics feel like a poorly made imitation of Stranger Things.

    I tried to watch the whole season but could not make it past episode 4 as my patience was strained, I got distracted & bored during each episode. Finding it difficult to convince myself to keep watching and see if it improves (as per other user reviews) which is a first time for me as I always give a new show a    Plot & Graphics feel like a poorly made imitation of Stranger Things.

    (Actor) v Character

    (Burkely Duffield) playing Holden - Wooden/weak acting with No character development.
    (Dilan Gwyn) playing Willa - Terrible/expressionless acting with No/bad character development.
    (Jonathan Whitesell) playing Luke - Good acting with Adequate character development.
    Yellow Man/Parents - Bad acting & Poorly developed characters.

    Plot/Storyline in 4 episodes is slow paced and going in circles/repeated moments so Terrible writing/screenplay.

    Yellow man/Willa/Parents are the weakest points - Without them the show would be more faster paced, engaging & watchable/likeable.    … Expand

    The series, created by Adam Nussdorf and executive produced by “Heroes” creator Tim Kring, hardly feels new. We have seen this person who gets unwanted special powers thing before. But because all 10 episodes are available at once, you might find yourself meandering along before you know it.

    The show is built to be mind-bending but doesn’t have the requisite urgency to entice you aboard for the ride. Instead, you have to force yourself to stay with it until about the four-hour mark, when it finally gets a bit of traction.

    As it is, Beyond’s characters are so bland and their dilemmas so unremarkable that it may be difficult to make it through the show’s two-hour pilot.
