I am a huge fan of the movie, so thought about giving this show a shot. I felt the way they tried to mix things up was interesting, but a lot of things really hold this show back. First of all, it's the cast. The Riley Smith who plays Frank Sullivan doesn't seem a good fit in my opinion. And no, I'm not comparing him to Dennis Quaid. Mainly I found it very hard to sympathize with him. The entire time he acted like a junky. And every time he spoke he seemed like he lacked confidence. He did not at all feel convincing to me that he was in law enforcement. That fact alone made it kind of hard for me to feel immersed into the show.Peyton List playing Raimy Sullivan might be the strongest part of the show, but in a way that might actually be a bad thing because whenever she has scenes with Lenny Jacobson who plays Gordo, it really just exaggerates just how terrible of an actor Lenny Jacobson is. I don't intend to be mean, maybe it's not his fault, but it's pretty painful every time he has any screen time.And if half of the main duo being completely not convincing wasn't bad enough, I found that the writing seems to be all over the place. Sometimes I find some of the things they do or some of the ways they tried to change up the original story kind of clever (not meaning better than the original, not in the slightest, but clever in that they found a way to deliver the scene without looking like an exact copy of the source), while other times, like in the dialog between the mother and father in the second episode, it seems very contrived.Now I admit I've only watched the first three episodes, I intend to at least finish the first season, but it seems to be getting worse with each episode rather than better, but I'll still give it a chance. If it improves in the later episodes I will definitely come back to revise this review. But as of right now, I am finding this series very mediocre. And that's not comparing it to the movie, which was excellent. If I compared the two, this would simply be terrible in comparison.

I'd give a 7.5 but you can't do that on IMDb. It started out pretty good but I couldn't help making comparisons to Signal (a korean thriller-mystery series with a similar premise) and the latter is superior by far. Also I was annoyed that anyone could think Frank beat up Joe in the interrogation room. Just check his knuckles; if they aren't raw and red it's obvious he didn't do anything.

A clean show that is interesting, thought provoking and keeps you coming back for more? Yes, please.. So glad that this show skipped the nudity and curse words. It is so much more enjoyable watching entertainment where I don't cringe when the characters speak. Don't think that because you've seen the movie with the same title that you know what to expect here. Love seeing how one little change in the past carries profound ripples into the future. I love the characters and the acting and you hate the bad guys and love the good guys. Just what you should expect from a well written show with a great cast. I hope they have a Season 2, but because I like it so much, they probably won't. Sadness.

This is how you do it.Not many series released this year have the capacity to draw you in and really capture your imagination and get you involved in the story line. Frequency on the other hand had me from the first episode. This is what you get when you do everything right in a series it leaves you on edge waiting, just wanting to find out more of the story behind it. This is by far the best series released in 2016. I encourage anyone who likes mystery and drama to watch this series. I only hope it lives up to its potential in season 2, Would hate to see such a great series brought to its knees. 8/10.
