Starts Friday 'Helix is an intense thriller about a team of scientists from the Centers for Disease Control who travel to a high-tech research facility in the Arctic, Arctic Biosystems, to investigate a possible disease outbreak, only to find themselves pulled into a terrifying life-and-death struggle that may hold the key to mankind’s salvation or total annihilation. However, the lethal threat is just the tip of the iceberg, and as the virus evolves, the chilling truth begins to unravel.' It's Ronald D. Moore's new thing which gives me a little hope.
Sounds interesting enough. Post apocalyptic or pre apocalyptic I wonder? Doubt we'll get it over in NZ though.
Did anyone end up watching this? I did - the final episode of season 1 is Friday night and I doubt it'll be renewed anyway. Seems a 1 season story arc + it's not rating very well. The cast is about as E-list as it gets. Some terrible acting and some awful dialogue at times but in general the premise is really good and it's actually quite an interesting and gritty show at times. For anyone who likes sci-fi I'd recommend it if you can get past pretty poor acting and sometimes bad dialogue. The effects look far better than the budget should allow and the settings are pretty dope. The whole plot is pretty reasonable and develops and twists pretty well and there's rarely a dull moment. Am I the only one to have watched it?
Downloaded all the episodes. You summed it up pretty well. Ordinary acting but the storyline is interesting enough to keep me watching.
Was gonna watch it but cbf'ed. Like Sci-fi so I'll probably give it a go over the holidays or something.
