This Minority Report review contains spoilers.
Its a smooth trick, and the loss of personal freedom is immediately apparent in this episode.
If only it werent for those pesky crimes of the week watering everything down!
There were aspects of the investigation that werent run-of-the-mill actually.
I could easily have been watchingBonesorLaw and Order.
I suppose these shows garner large viewerships, but the sci-fi elements create different audience expectations.
Perhaps a serialized criminal conspiracy is in order or the introduction of a mole inside the Metro PD.
Maybe that will come!
Its difficult to embrace the danger of discovery when the stakes are so vague.
It doesnt exactly excite much dramatic tension when we know theres probably a logical explanation.
But the major problem isnt the lack of such plots or the over-emphasis on the procedural elements.
Its the lack of chemistry between the main characters and the blandness of the female lead, Meagan Good.
Shes just not very likable!
I do like the progressionMinority Reporthas made, however.
Hopefully,Minority Reportwill get tuned up before everyone tunes out.
