I started watching Beyond and it got more interesting and addicting too watch. Great story line and keeps you Engaged. The second season really got me hooked as the story progressed. I wanted to see the next episode at every turn. How and why this great show gets cancelled just when it rev's up, really baffles me what Freeform is doing. Now I only have Siren which is another good show that I see will progress. Will that be cancelled as well!!!!!. Wake up Freeform!.

I wish I could give this 7.5 stars, but I'm going to give it 8 for being so original.I love the fact that the description is intentionally vague (boy wakes up from coma with abilities). I also love the fact that there was no trailer for this, because most trailers are full of spoilers.The show did NOT start with captain exposition walking on screen and explaining the entire plot in 2 minutes. I really had to pay attention in literally every episode, and it wasn't until very late in the season that we get the full story.That is the essence of binge-able TV, wanting to watch the next episode to see what hints they will drop and to slowly watch the plot unfold.Bonus points for being an original idea not based on any previous franchise I have seen before.

"Here I come to save the day!" Is the song of a super hero created back in 1942. It's Mighty Mouse's theme tune.And so roll out nearly every super hero since then basically singing the same old tune.It's nice to see something different. I'm on the 8th episode, season 1. Does it have bad guys? Check. Are you sure you know who the bad guys are? Nope. Could they all be bad guys or all be good guys who's motives are at odds? Check.As for formulaic? At 10% the audience must know what a successful outcome looks like. I don't even know now. At 25% the hero must buy in to the plot. I'm not even sure he's bought in at this point...Lastly, if someone wakes up one day and has super powers? Well, the natural course of action is to save the world. "With great power comes great responsibility." and "Here I come to save the day!". One question I asked as a kid and ask now? Why? Where did that come from? I agree, it's the moral high ground but would you really do it? I mean, actually? Or would you sit there and wonder how you could turn this power into a money spinner so you can give up your meaningless job that your supposed to be oh so proud to have?Guess he's not really here to save the day and, so far, would definitely prefer to live a normal life.As for the women? Well, if I was 12, slipped into a coma and came out at 24? Well, yeah, girls would be high on the list of 'things to do'.This is coming across as trying to be more realistic, as apposed to: "I'm doing this for my dead Uncle!" (Spiderman) or "Dead parents!" (Batman) or "Dead world!" (Superman) or "Dead mum!" (Meredith Quill). I call it "The dead dog syndrome." - always cracks me up when that heart felt moment pops up in the latest comic to movie cross over... and my brain says: "DEAD DOG MOMENT!!!" Are all your parents alive? Is so? You got NO HOPE of getting super powers! Ain't how it works buddy!!! Lolz! So as I said, nice to see something different.Talked to one guy and he pointed out he prefers Marvel to DC because in Marvel, even when the world is in imminent danger, the hero always has time to crack a joke and make light of the situation. DC is far to dark for his liking. And, you know, I respect that. Hey, we all come to entertainment for our own reasons... but lets just say I won't be recommending Beyond to him.
