Post Believe (Season 1)
The new supernatural show from Alfonso Cuaron and JJ Abrams starts on March 10. NBC has done a really good job advertising this during the Olympics and if they keep it up this could be a bigger hit for them than The Blacklist. It also looks like it'll be the best new show of the 2013-14 season. I have high hopes.

I definitely enjoyed the premiere though it was a bit lighter than I expected especially with Cuaron directing the episode. The rest of the season though looks great.

I was disappointed that she summoned? pigeons and didn't like... explode that lady.

the ratings were ok, didn't do as well as Resurrection the day before and it had Voice s a lead in. I think Resurrection will hurt it next week. Still, if it stays above 1.5 it should get renewed.

There are a few moments of neat craftsmanship and style in the pilot courtesy of CuarĂ³n, but neither the characters nor the first seeds of mythology/storyline engaged me. And it is a bit corny in general. I will not continue to watch.

This looks so bad. I love Cuaron, but I'm afraid to even give this a try.

I thought it had very intense moments. The hit girl is really ruthless. She does not give two licks about anyone when she's on a mission. I like how the protector is a murder convict. He's gonna be stuck in this job for Years apparently. I do agree with Chip that the girl didn't do more with those pigeons, but maybe she's just not a violent person. The girl actually reminds me a bit of probably having a similar type of power as the kid from Looper as well as other abilities.

Believe or Resurrection? Why put these on at the same time...shute.

I went with Believe tonight and I still enjoyed it though now I can see this may be a weekly occurrence of the girl just helping individuals they come across. IDK if that will keep my attention in the long term.

Post Re: Believe (Season 1)
I mean yeah the weekly occurrence thing you talked about will probably happen but I like how it wasn't the center of the episode this week still and I feel that will be the same as the show goes on.

It is moving at a bit of a slower pace than I expected but this still was a solid follow-up episode.

Well, I feel asleep for 45 minutes of the episode last week but that was because I was tired. This week I watch most of it, but I had to change the channel to look at Resurrection for a bit because this intervening of individual lives for the better is just stopping all momentum in an episode. It's just getting boring and annoying seeing the girl run off because she feels the need to help someone every damn episode. I switched back from Res because I'm just lost on that one since I chose to watch Believe. Can't catch up now. If Believe keeps up this course I don't think I'll be able to hang on much longer.
