Kevin Reilly, like most forward-thinkers, was martyred for his forward thinking and fired.
Limitlessis an above average to decent pilot that feels far too pilot-y.
This isnt a fully formed creative thought its just the thesis statement for one.
Of course he needs a simple motivation like his fathers illness for becoming a self-less kind of superhero.
The basic tenets of the story are equally uninspiring.
Surprise: another banker.
*Full disclosure: Ive not seen any ofMr.
Robot, but much like Portia,I read the papers.
But Bradley just commits, man.
And commit he does here as well.
Alas, Jennifer Carpenter is the real loser here, as always seems to be the case.
At episodes end everything is wrapped up fairly nicely like a nice, obedient pilot should do.
Its absurd, of course, but it does nicely set up the rest of the season.
They shouldnt have bothered with a pilot and made a movie instead.
