Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

sharon-pritchard81 Series 1 has just finished over here in the UK and all i can say is WHY is their only 1 series!!! Can't believe CBS has canceled, with such an awesome concept of what current life and technology could achieve. Is this a bad habit of canceling gripping story lines and rather than pouring more into improving what they see the problems being (in my opinion their is none!) and stop showing more TV chat shows and re runs that have been on numerous times and surely not getting any views? Revolution being another example of pure class TV being axed after 3 series and leaving followers completely lost with questions. Personally I'm no longer going to attempt to watch any CBS series anymore after this last disgrace of poor judgment of what should and should not be continued. In short CBS need to rethink a lot of their series decisions and put more into new shows rather than just re-runs.

VallyNicky A previous reviewer made the comment that this show is too reminiscent of "Chuck". While I liked "Chuck", that is like comparing "Get Smart" to "Mission Impossible" (the original TV shows not the movies, look them up). "Chuck" had a mostly comedic feel. "Intelligence" has a much more serious feel to it, although it does have its comedic moments. I like "Intelligence". The number of shows I watch on TV shrinks every year it seems as they keep putting more and more crappy reality shows on the air. Intelligence is but one of the small handful that I do watch. Thankfully none of my shows got the ax this year, though, from what I read "Intelligence" is still on the chopping block. I hope it remains on the air. I like taping them on my DVR and watching them a few at a time. It's a lot less stressful that way. It's nice to see Marge Helgenberger in something other than "CSI". While I liked her character in the previous show, I like her much better as Gabriel's boss. I also like seeing John Billingsly in something serious and without alien prosthetics. I really like him as the scientist. The father and son Cassidy duo act like the comic relief at times, but get to be serious sometimes as well. This show has sufficient action, just enough humor not to take itself too seriously, elements of Sci-fi - without being too far-fetched. The only thing that would make it better is a bit of romance, I am a girl after all. If I want Romance, I'll watch "Beauty and the Beast", which is renewed for next season. For now, I just want to see what happens to Gabe and the team next week. Just in case someone from the network is reading this, please don't cancel this show!

feyipuk One of the things that made Chuck so clever was the way that the main character was still a nerd, just he had special skills to make him more physical. He didn't have years of training or psychological training or regimented life style before he got his edge. Yet it's not the upgrade that made that program, but how it was used to propel the story along.And this is what gets me about Intelligence. The main character is an ex Delta operative, with multiple tours in Iraq; he's been trained to fight, to follow orders, to get the job done. And to make life more interesting, "something" has happened to his wife that became the centre of his life. And they stick a chip in his head that connects him to practically everything electronic, turning him from just another highly trained soldier, into a multi-lingual, crime scene rendering, surveillance analysing genius. As the byline on the poster says "WHAT'S IN HIS HEAD WILL BLOW YOUR MIND": Americas greatest asset! He's brawn with brains (which is more watchable than making a computer genius do Spec Ops training or a commando learn to code). I was looking forward to this being a Strike Back with more technology, but it feels more like the 1996 TV series Sentinel, with heightened senses replaced with a computer senses. Like Hugh Jackman in Swordfish, it's more exciting to have someone who knows how to do the computer stuff and add on the fighting, than trying to teach a soldier how to code, and have tedious coding scenes! The graphics and the sets are pretty great. You get the Eureka crime scene recreation scenes, the ability to view most forms of broadcast information, the ability to decrypt information and have it float around on the screen, look at people and know their names/affiliations/email and all other records.But this is where the premise breaks down for me. He's supposed to be able to access countless government and civilian databases, which in the wake of the Edward Snowden revelations, contain mountains and mountains of information on every individual in the developed world, and yet he can't track one woman who seems to occupy most of his life. The title of the series is Intelligence; the field of work he's in and the computer chip that gives him human plus abilities, yet even with those available to him, he can't do what many series wrap up in one episode. He's still backed up by a team of people who know how the technology works, but lag behind him when it comes to operations (you'd think there'd be some resentment there), and he still goes on missions and follows the orders given too him, which given how much power he has at his disposal seems at odds with how strong willed he seems towards finding his wife. They needed to have a pilot were the chip was implanted, show him learning how to control his ability. He is the only man with his powers, how he learns to filter out all the other noise to become the super spy. My mind isn't blown by what's in his head; instead, you have the clichéd James Bond scenes, where the vital clue has Bluetooth for him to hack and snipers have cameras (something he can lock on to) on their rifles for him to avoid. If you take this formulaic story from one clue to another, then it's a good evenings drama. Yet, sadly, the characters seem so paper thin given the weight of back story they carry, it just doesn't flow like other attempts at integrating computers into humans. I'd like to see it get better and evolve, but I can't see how it can make that leap without a change of direction.

toni1585 I sure hope they keep this show on. My husband and I really enjoy it and the network made it hard for some people to find it because of the established shows that were on opposite networks. We have told some of our friends about this show and I know they now have more viewers. Please do not cancel this show and give it a second try. The acting is great and I love that it is not repetitious and refreshingly new. We even tape it to watch it again because there is so much going on that we see things the second time that we missed the first time. I also feel that the last show left us hanging and wanting more information on certain characters. BRING IT BACK PLEASE.
