    I only watched the first two chapters so i will have to wait but the pilot episode was good, the acting of peyton list is good , the plot is a little predictable but it keeps you entertained.

    I like it so far. Especially appealing is the natural reaction to the situation from the characters, as normal people would have dealt with it, not the usual movie hysteria of the character facing supernatural. The series shows good potential.

    A fine series, good cast and a good performance of acting. A tv series based on a movie witch has a good change to be a succes. The first episode was ended and i im curious what happens next. If you haven't seen it, give it a try. You won't be dissapointed if you like the scifi/time travel genre.

    This is a wonderfully remade television series based off a great movie. It was very smart of the writers to take away from the "comparing" of the main characters by changing the gender.

While it has it subtle twists that they have made an easy, believable, and smooth transition through, they've given the characters their own feel by making the father Frank into a whole new character from the original.
    It draws you in and you find yourself sitting at the edge of your seat pushing buttons just to find out when the next episode will be on because you can't wait. That's how I can always tell I've found a show worth watching. I look forward to seeing where they go after they've past the "movie" portion. Based on what I've seen from the changes made I think the writers will do a good job.    … Expand

    This show kind of lost me after a cop approaches a suspect in a parked vehicle, gun and badge out, on foot. So the suspect drives off. Great police work. Here's some advice, get an ex-cop on the payroll to advise against unintelligent plot points like this. On the positive side, the lead female character is very good.

    Great premise/scifi beginning (liked the potential), really good acting, but the STORYLINE and developing scenarios is just NOT believable. Poor, in fact.

    If you have a direct connection to past and future 'you' and you don't take advantage of the circumstances to make your life better? While you are in a basically dangerous and dead-end job as a POLICE Officer? Seriously?

    Wouldn't you take advantage of the lottery/investing/etc? Seriously? You are going to do a crappy job and try to 'save' the world without using the very resources you have at hand. Just not believable, unless the story incorporated elements that prevented that from happening. 'Some people' forgetting things while others don't isn't believable. If I had a direct connection to the past I would be on that darn radio nonstop recording everything both ways to fill a thousand devices (whatever the time period had) with information, knowing that it would soon end. These people treated it as some sort of perpetual magical gateway with sporatic communications. Just.not.believable.

    I watched 4-5 of the episodes, knew exactly what was coming and basically went to the last episode of season 1 to confirm that nothing good happens, and no one is treating the knowledge properly. Basically confirms - poor writing - stringing out the details to simply make more shows, etc.

    Will not be watching season 2, if it even comes out. Too many good potential shows to watch this drivel further.    … Expand

    Very watchable show, everything flows very smoothly and characters are engaging, with enough curves in the story to wonder what's what and what's going to happen next.

    Unexpectadly good remake.

    First of all, it's a fantasy, so expect a little bit more of a fairy tale here, not a serious science documentary. Not paying attention on little details from scientific point of view, it's very good. But it's not the most important part of the series. What you should really pay attention at is great atmosphere, rich palette of emotions, good actors, a little    Unexpectadly good remake.

    You can't expect anything better from a remake. If you like the original movie, of course your expectations are high enough from the very start, but the series will reward you for giving it a chance and watching it.    … Expand

    I have a kind of pasion for these kinds of shows about the butterfly effect, so it s my cup tea. The acting is good and it is entretained. It keeps you interested in knowing what s next, even though it is a bit predictable so far ( episode2)

    Interesting premise and plot elements. The only downside is that the main character a bit too emotionless and both her and her father do a lot of unrealistic TV actions.

    It is a pretty good tv show, that deserves higher ratings. I lie the cast, I like the songs and the premise. Frequency is not a must see, it is more of a recommend you see if you are looking for something to watch.

    I love the new show "frequency"! CW is finally stepping it up, this is a great adult drama (with a little comedy sneaking in now and then) that does not have anything to do with vampires or zombies!

CW is finally stepping it up, this is a great adult drama (with a little comedy sneaking in now and then) that does not have anything to do with vampires or zombies! It is adult situations with possible events that could and has happen to real people. For instance, a crappy dad, a single mom, and a good looking, successful boyfriend, and a sexy Aussie accent. OK maybe not the boyfriend, but catch my drift. All this with a twist of SYFY mystery added. I think that eventually something really mysterious is going to surface about that old two way radio that is a focal point of the entire show. Please lord don't let the powers of being "F" up and cancel this great show. It has such great potential. Thanks for listening STORM4950 hope we get to see more and/or more shows like it. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm burned out on Vampires and Zombies!!!… Expand

    That's too bad it got cancelled; it got me hooked...if you got the chance to change your life would you? It kind of made you think about it while being engaged with the characters. I was hoping for a season 2 but I guess that wasn't meant to be.

    The producers and creator Jeremy Carver have deftly retrofitted a familiar film for the small screen with smart present-day touches and solid performances.

    The movie wasn't that great. It was just sort of OK. The series seems to be in pretty much the same territory.
