    Casting might be the most important part to a hit TV show. More than the plot line, more than stunning visual effects, more than exotic locations, fast paced action scenes, or star-studded cameos. Good casting makes the audience care for the well-being of the characters, helps us connect to the story, believe the actors in their respective roles, and root for the good guys....

Good casting makes the audience care for the well-being of the characters, helps us connect to the story, believe the actors in their respective roles, and root for the good guys....

    Which is why, when this show is cancelled in about 2 weeks and the producers are looking for someone to blame...target the Casting Director.

    To be fair, these are solid actors who would be successful in roles that suited them. However, the show does nothing to make me care for, or even like, any of the main characters. The result: I can't connect to the larger plot line, I don't care what happens next...so I turn it off.    … Expand

    Couldn't even get past 20 minutes of this show. Bored out of my mind, and they should just stick with the movie, instead of making this awful TV show.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If this show were set in the present, would it be any better? The answer is no, and tarting up a poorly written story with unimaginative future tech doesn't make it better. And I really wanted to like Minority Report, especially with Continuum almost over, but I think I'm done after the first episode. The real killer for me was the "holographic" phone which turned out to be an image projected onto an air-filled bag that deflated into a large suitcase when the call was over. What the hell! Are you supposed to lug that suitcase around every time you want to call someone? The scary surveillance spiders of the movie are now flying balls that look just like the golden snitch from the Harry Potter films. Later, I think the producers got confused with homing pigeons when they used no-longer-extinct passenger pigeons to spread poison gas at a rally. Also, there are no driver-less cars in this future, and they still ride the Washington Metro. I think we're going to see some early cancellations at Fox this season, and Minority Report will be one of the first.… Expand

    Don't the people who make this watch it before it airs. Same with the people who buy it. I don't know how to describe bad but I know when I see it and I saw a lot of it in episode 1.

    Minority Report is a ok show but defintely does not deserve a 3 after seeing the commercials i thought this show could deserve a perfect 7 or 8 but after 2 episodes i got compeltely lost and confused on where this show goes.

    The major flaw if this series is the totally diluted (and lost) debate regarding the ethics of law enforcement. While the original film questions the existence of free will, this Minority Report series eliminates all possible debate and is your standard cop series with a touch of conveniently placed psychic powers. Such an awful and cheap approach.

    The show itself, while existing in a sleek future of advanced technology, is a bit clunky. It hews to the most obvious tropes of case-of-the-week shows about oddball visionaries partnered with law-and-order sharpshooters, and in the first hour at least, doesn’t pay its audience much respect when it comes to the plausibility of dialogue, character motivations, or the security procedures at a mental institution for former future-convicts.

    Minority Report disappoints because, in its first episode at least, it is uninterested in the very idea that enlivened the film: that precrime could be wrong.

    Besides Sands's performance as Dash, a likably frazzled ingenue who hurls himself bravely into action but has no physical skills to speak of, the production design is the best (maybe only) reason to watch Minority Report.
