With the current shows that have actually been aired since 2005, you'd think that this show would already have several seasons. But, sadly not so.I am a big Warren Ellis fan and yesterday started rereading his comics. Warren has written some amazing graphic novels and this one deserved to be a TV series. I only happened to hear about it when I decided to read up on wiki about Ellis' other works.I loved this pilot. It deserves the rating it has. Hands down this is a very classy pilot. There is so much to like. We get Michelle Forbes as Amanda Zero who really nails the role. Michelle is such an awesome actor and has had great roles in the past. This one really suits her.I loved the pacing and the tone of the show was just perfect for the story. I hope they hurry-up and make a series.

However, this pilot is a weak shadow of the source material. Specifically, the actress playing Miranda Zero lacked energy and was completely uninteresting. In addition, the characters had an almost "Fringe-like" ability to remember the one crucial piece of 30-year-old information in a matter of seconds. In essence, they are walking, talking deus ex machinae.I completely understand why WB chose not to proceed with the series.I'm glad someone else is writing a new pilot.
... View MoreI have one question. Why do TV networks let something as good as this pass them by? The pilot was never aired, but it leaked out on the internet somehow and are know spreading like a wildfire. Ironically it seems that this alone can actually save the series. The response has been so massive I don't see how they can ignore it.I found the Global Frequency pilot by chance and only watched it because I've read the comics (Warren Ellis) by the same name which I liked a lot. It is seldom you come across something like this only to hear that the bulk heads in the media industry can't recognize a goldmine when they see one. Get the word out there. This is good stuff.
... View MoreThere are dangers in our world of which we are completely unaware. The intelligence agencies of the world won't cross national borders. We're in trouble. Thank goodness, there is the Global Frequency.The idea behind this show is a super secret organization exists and its operatives work outside the nation loyalties to stop horrible things from happening. Our hero gets drawn into this world by finding a half a body and chooses to answer the body's ringing "cell phone." In the course of the story, our hero meets the "hot female scientist (who hides her beauty with a hair bun and thick horn rimmed glasses)," does important (if not obvious) detective work, and saves the day. While our hero is on the ground, the leader of the Global Frequency kicks butt as she breaks into a prison and extracts needed information from a political prisoner held there. There is a certain amount of cliché in this story, but it's a fun ride.I found this show on a CD left in the computer lab. It seems to be a pilot for a series, but there are no credits on the copy I found. I'd like to know more about the actors and the show. It is a great set up for a series and I'd like to see more of it.
