    Though Minority Report starts with a network-note heavy pilot, the show picks up speed and launches into a compelling narrative full of interesting characters. The world building of the year 2065 is fantastic, balancing the history that is now, the rules of the film, and predictions of our own future based on data and trends.

The world building of the year 2065 is fantastic, balancing the history that is now, the rules of the film, and predictions of our own future based on data and trends. Lead, Detective Vega (Meagan Good) starts off guarded because of her back story, but as the episodes progress you see her gradually open up and let people past her protective shell. The show is rich with subtext and the writing is layered. I think, once you get past the pilot, they made the right choices with nearly every aspect of their story telling. It's worth sticking with and watching all the episodes.… Expand

    So lately I find myself on my phone or iPad whilst watching shows as they tend to bore me halfway through, not with minority report. It interested me, Hopefully it stays that way.

    Good, not great, but it has potential. I hope it gets a chance to develop so we can see where it goes. I like that the show is taking the approach of focusing on the Precogs and showing what they've become, but I really hope it doesn't turn into a case-of-the-week type format.

    This episode 2 have a history in spiral.... still cannot say whether positive or negative. I think the chacacter Vega requires greater attention dramatica to counterbalance the character Dash still still shallow...

    I hate it when people say this but really around 6.5 is a good score for the first episode - but I gave it a 7 because It has good potential to develop further and be quite good - for me it seems like a good replacement for last season's 'Almost Human'.

I will agree with others that the actors seem a little wooden with each other and there is a bit of clunky dialogue I thought the acting was was best when just Dash (Stark Sands) and Lara (Meagan Good) were interacting with each other. Also, quite honestly found the Will Blake character to be extremely annoying (way too much of an irritating, pretty boy actor was cast). That being said, I actually enjoyed it over all and liked the CGI/special effects used to represent futuristic police investigation tools. I liked the hint of what the underlying, connecting story thread will be that was given at the closing of the pilot so we know there will be more than just a case of the week format. Hopefully they keep developing it further. I'll definitely keep watching though!… Expand

    This "Minority Report" Review contains spoilers.

    In the year 2040, the world is literally led by technology. But interestingly, it has evidenced the increase in killings in the city, so a group of people call to one scientist to create a program called "pre-crime". So a group of three little guys is necessary to be the "precogs". What are the precogs? They are those who can see the future, Dash can see fragments of the killing, Arthur knows the names of possible victims and Agatha feels what the victim feels. Both are confined to a milk bath to keep the city safe. But when pre-crime closed, they have been free and hidden, until now.

    Once they were free, Dash tries to hide his gifts and is forced to contact Vega because he never manages to get in time before the murder occurs. Lara Vega (Meagan Good) is an excellent police of the DIA that is under the care of her boss Will Blake (Wilmer Valderrama), an eccentric, but noble man who subsequently will help Vega.

    I can assure you that this is not only special effects. When you entrust to a series, you have to endure its lazy and horrible episodes, but is too satisfying to know the entire process of the series to be a good show. And this is the case of "Minority Report" in which at first sight looks difficult but after half of season, road is more pleasant. This does not mean that the series has no visual effects, has them but the series focuses more on another path.

    On the cinematography side, half of the series is by Barry Donlevy. We should not wait big shots or anything like, "Minority Report" relies on its own history to create a good presentation. In terms of photography, it is acceptable. Sometimes, it is surprising with truly majestic angles that enhance the beauty of a scene and create a visual paradise only with being in an enclosed area. As for soundtrack of the series, also you will not wait anything surprise. Even, they do a good job with the atmosphere, the music is not a big factor here.

    The cast is less favourable to the series. The characters are delicately made as all the other series, but initially the climate feels cold and chemistry and passion among the main actors do not take shape. As the show progresses, the character development is exponential and only with a little patience, you'll see all the beauty that is hidden in superficial performances in the start.

    "Minority Report" is the best series I've seen in aspects of the sci-fi genre. Because not only is it concentrated in show explosions, ships and many special effects, also cares about have a good main plot, which engage audiences to also connect with the subplots. At first I thought that the series was going to be boring by many terms and unfamiliar words, but after the first five episodes, the emotion is born. Fox will not give green light to a second season, depending on the affirmed, but, with a single season is quite sufficient.    … Expand

    It is something different in a good way that is rare these days. The concept takes a little to get into but you will not get lost in the story line. I hope it makes to season 2. If it were set on a different day and time it will likely thrive. No smut which is great since that is the story line with most shows now-a-days. Given a chance it will be a good show.

    The pilot have been good for all the episode I have watch so far. The casting member that been pick to play the roles in this show I think are great choices. I think it all around a great show so hopeful it will be a season two in the future.

    The first episode was not really great, although the more I stuck with it the more I liked it to the point where now I feel super disappointed if it was to be canceled.

    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.
