J.J. Abrams is in there somewhere.

I caught the 1st installment last night on Fox. Part 2 airs tonight prime time.

Detective/police series in the near future....2048. Evidently the cops have lots of help from androids in their work. but some can be trusted more than others...etc. Lots of 2dimensional crooks to prosecute.

The environment seems like a cross between PKD's "Do Androids Dream of electric sheep" and 1/2 dozen other SF environs. Fortunately, there's not a hint of Judge Dredd to be found. Considering the series' lead star, Karl Urban, this is probably for the best. On the subject of Urban, he seems at home in this small series. Must be hungry for work.

The effects department seems within control here. Not too much cgi eye candy. Vehicles look like modified cars from today. I saw some 2013 Fords in there, mildly disguised. This is interspersed with some obvious CGI backdrops showing flying cars ala Bladerunner, etc.

Does not seem anything like another JJ Abrams series: Fringe

I'm withholding judgement. This customer (me) wants all the sci-fi this customer (me) can get.

Caprica could have been great. Started with a terrific thought-provoking premise.. - free.ranger 15:17:45 11/21/13 (3)
