Alphas (2011)

So this aired on the Sy fy channel and we had hoped for so much more. Disappointing doesn’t begin to cover it. This is right up there for quality with Dark Angel, Sanctuary, Haven and Eureka cough cough.

So Dr Rosen (David Strathairn) studies and heads up a group of people with super abilities nicknamed Alphas with government sponsorship.

The Alphas include:

Bill (Malik Yoba) an ex FBI he can cause his endocrinal blah blah yawn boring to kick in so he has superstrength. Nina (Laura Mennell) the only one with a decent power uses mind control to help the government and Alphas catch baddies. So boring!!! OMG what a waste. Gary (Ryan Cartwright) is autistic but can view wireless communication signals, and watch tv without turning it on. Rachel (Azita Ghanizada) can heighten her five senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing and touch).
Cameron (Warren Christie) is the reluctant newb after they find him episode one. He has ‘hyperkinesis’ so he can move fast.

Together with woeful dialogue and a plot thinner than Homer Simpsons hair they solve crimes, yawn and oppose the baddies with superabilities called Red Flag. Maybe they should have made a show about them instead.

This show is a total bust.
