-
List is earnest in her role, and manages to make the stranger aspects of the show’s time travel and inter-dimensional plot points feel grounded.
-
Those familiar with the source material will recognize the pilot is essentially the first two-thirds of the film. Some convincing performances from Smith and List get Frequency humming. But that’s just not enough buzz.
-
Frequency’s vintage equipment is missing its spark of life.
-
The movie moved me, but the show feels like it’s going to wear thin after the setup in the pilot.
-
The movie wasn't that great. It was just sort of OK. The series seems to be in pretty much the same territory.
-
It’s heartfelt and likable, but doesn’t quite justify its existence.
-
The characters and relationships are never specific or resonant enough to make the attempted blending of family drama, time travel series, and cop show memorable, or, perhaps more importantly, as addictive as the several other smart hybrid programs on the CW.
-
It is an unabashedly hokey affair with an inherently seductive premise. The problem is that Frequency is too generic to make the sentiment work.
