lev-nemkin I just got done watching this tv series as a huge fan of the movie when I first tried getting into it in 2016 when it first started I kind of thought I may not end up liking it so about 3 episodes in I stopped watching but now I finally decided to pick it up again I rewatched the first 3 episodes I'd already seen with an open mind...it ended up sucking me in I had to know what was going to happen next I loved this it held my interest not once was I bored this is definitely one of the best tv shows based on a movie that I've seen. Peyton List as Raimy Sullivan was just awesome so was Riley Smith as her dad Frank who she communicates to through the ham radio in 1996 not going to spoil too much for those of you who haven't seen it but they do change things with their actions in this too for example in the beginning of the show Frank is undercover and Raimy knows he's going to end up getting killed so she tips him off about it so he's able to defend himself then after he survives it changes and he's alive for a little longer he actually gets to see her follow in his footsteps by becoming a cop. The same serial killer also is in this which I like...The Nightingale who abducts and murders nurses the hunt for him is interesting only in this he isn't a dirty cop in this he's just the stepson of a church Deacon I'm sorry for that spoiler. Anyway if you like the movie I'd say definitely give this a look but it definitely ended on a cliffhanger it was only the Season 1 finale I definitely want to see it continued I hope eventually they do but they haven't since last year so my guess is there was really no faith in it not many people liked it so they decided not to continue it it did get good ratings for the most part though so I don't understand it I really hope they do decide to continue it.

slagman5-1 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.

ElessarAndurilS I just finished streaming Season 1 of Frequency and I really don't get the complaining about the time shifts, I thought the story was great SciFi! Daughter talking to her dead dad 20 years in the past, working together to solve a crime and with each change to the past a subsequent change to the future in each episode making each one a thrill ride. Maybe watching it with a week between episodes made the time shifts and affects hard to follow, but while streaming over 4 days it was easy, and quite enjoyable. Even with the ending in the finale, they made a lot of mistakes but discovered that Robbie was the real killer, not his dad. While his dad killed only his mother, but confessed to the others, then BAM back to just his wife and Robbie blamed for the others but the time line still basically as it was in the pilot, but with improvements! Raimy gets to know her dad Frank, gets her mom back, her best friend is a lawyer. Sure she still lost her dad, but they got 15 years more of good family life together... but now of course the radio is broken and Robbie is stalking her mom in her modern day. I thought Season 1 stood well on its own, but am hoping they don't dump it because of ratings dropping off. Maybe the medium is the key, as a streaming show I thoroughly enjoyed it!

SnoopyStyle Raimy Sullivan (Peyton List) is a NYPD detective following in her father Frank (Riley Smith)'s footsteps. She is still haunted by his murder in 1996 as an undercover cop and rumors of his corruption. His mother Julie is still living in the family home. A lighting strike reactivates Frank's ham radio. Raimy starts communicating with her father from 20 years ago. Her warning leads Frank to avoid his murder but the change in timeline changes many things. Her father died later, her mother was killed by serial killer Nightingale, and her boyfriend Daniel Lawrence never met her. Satch Reyna (Mekhi Phifer) is her supervisor and was her father's partner. As the father and daughter team tries to catch Nightingale, Raimy finds more alterations in her present day situation.The movie is solid sci-fi drama. The TV show adaptation tries to stretch it out with some monkey-wrenches thrown in. It feels overly extended. It would work for a shorter mini-series. The split time era is also problematic, more so than in the movie. I don't see why this needs a second season.
