As usual, Limitless delivers on the easy-to-enjoy procedural front, but this was an episode that could have been so much more. “Undercover!” melded a spy movie with a “here’s how it all went down” structure, and it needed to just stuck with one or the other.
With another fun case and real progress on the season arc, Limitless has to be the best procedural on television. I’m not saying it needs to win Emmys or that it’s the best show on TV period, but name one other procedural that is as entertaining, irreverent, and self-aware.
If you’re so over gratuitously gruesome crime shows, Limitless is here for you with kittens on pedestals, cool dinosaur toys, and a whole lot of unsolved hugs and cuddles.
Beneath its shiny, irreverent surface, Limitless sneaks in some pretty dark themes. In the midseason premiere, the cheekiest of CBS’s procedurals invites us to question how long our hero’s humanity can survive NZT.
My opinion has a taken a turn in a decidedly uninteresting direction. It’s exploring the annals of government agencies instead of the NZT community. The show is exploring the same themes as many other drama shows.
Brian’s NZT seemed like a tertiary aspect of the plot tonight, as it was not really used to solve any problems. This is a bad sign, as it seems the series is forgetting the unique aspect that makes the show enticing.
Episode seven of the CBS series has been the slowest to date so far. Little was established, and even less was accomplished. Essentially, Brian Finch went out into the woods with CIA operatives for the entirety of the episode.
Fans of the first two episodes of CBS’ Limitless might be disappointed by this third episode. The show took a step away from its interesting, original premise, moving in the direction towards typical police procedural.
CBS’s Limitless gave a strong second episode to follow up its very good pilot. In a short montage, the pilot episode was condensed into about forty seconds of explanatory voice-over. So if you’re coming to late to the game, Limitless will help you get up to speed.
