I decided to watch this series mostly because of the involvement of Brannon Braga and David S.Goyer, whose later "Flashforward" I liked a lot. Compared to that one, this one is disappointing. Don't get me wrong, it's watchable, but "X-Files" would have done this kind of story in a two-parter and then moved on to other things. "Threshold" too often lacks a sense of wonder (and we never do learn the significance of those dream glass trees), substituting cheap action instead. The aliens are too easily fooled and too easily subdued. The series largely follows a case-of-the-week format, and because of its cancellation, actually has no ending. The actors form a reasonably engaging bunch, with the exception of the wooden Brian Van Holt. Not a bad choice for genre fans, but there are better alternatives out there. **1/2 out of 4.

Our TV world revolves around three main types of show - hospital dramas, crime dramas and sci-fi dramas. Some of them are corkers (there are corkers in all three categories) whereas some of them are total cr*p. Threshold just is. It serves no real purpose and is really just made to try and hook a few more people who were going off Sky a bit. But it didn't hook me. I watched about five minutes of it before I switched over - it is mundane and uninspired. The Threshold logo looks interesting and the trailer is superbly gripping, but all trailers for crime/sci-fi series try to put in as much action as possible to get you into them, when all you're really going to be watching is a group of boring old gits talking to each other in buildings rather than blowing things up. At least Doctor Who is enjoyable and action-packed. This is just boring and shows a lack of imagination and ideas. My review can't be very detailed because I've seen so little of it, but that helps prove my case even further, if you get my drift. 4/10

I am a science fiction fan, I watched all X-Files, Star Treek, V, Galactica,etc.In my opinion it is one of more original series of 2005. It is a shame that it was canceled. CBS does it usually and it in annoying.Why the producers and the writer cannot find another channel interested in continuing the series? They must defend their idea against the economical interest.If it is a matter of few audience, I think they must wait a longer time more at least one more year: 13 episodes are few to impulse a new interesting idea. The actors are excellent.Specially Jeffrey Donovan in Vigilante, Brian van Holt as Cavennaugh, Charles S. Dutton as J.T. and Brent Spiner as Dr. Nigel Fenway.

I was surprised to see that this originally aired on NBC; The show is so good it should have been on Fox, who has a horrible record of canceling really unique shows.Catching it on SCI-FI, I didn't expect to like it - it looked seriously hokey and over-acted. I couldn't be more wrong. I have been riveted every episode. The story line is not based on the impossible, as it was on X-Files, but rather it uses the improbable. What would happen if an alien intelligence came to earth - what would it do? what would it want? How would it interact with humans? The story lines revolve around the Threshold protocols - a 'worse-case scenario' overseen by Molly Caffrey, who specializes in creating responses to everything from atomic attacks to the plague. Her "Threshold" response to alien attack drives the show - what the characters do, why and how.I am not going to say anything more -this show deserves to be discovered on its own. It's television gold, and enjoying the revelation of each show is a delightful treat. It's television actually WORTH an hour of your time.
