"Limitless", a one season show, once aired on cable television is now offered on Netflix.
Limitless is packed with action, humor, and very little romance. The almost hour long episodes are about Brian Finch (Jake Mcdorman), an average guy who feels like he failed in life, until a friend gives him a pill called NZT. This pill gives the ability for any person to use 100 percent of their mind but only for a few hours. NZT is also illegal, because it causes horrible symptoms and eventually results in death.
Brian wants more of this pill after one dose for a valid reason (I will not reveal), so he visits the same friend who offered him the pill. I don’t want to ruin this portion of the first episode, so let me fast forward.
Brian does get more pills, but unfortunately the FBI finds him guilty of a crime he did not do. So Brian escapes and tries to prove he is innocent. Let me fast forward again. Brian is now working for the FBI, because they think he is immune to the side effects of NZT. However, Brian is not immune, but I won’t explain why, because you should watch the show in order to understand it.
Overall, Brian Finch is a consultant with the FBI and he helps solve cases with his handler Rebecca Harris (Jennifer Carpenter). However, there is a twist to it but I will leave that for you to find out.
Here are some scenes to show you how cool this show is:
Finch can create or put together designs/ models in his mind.
Finch learns a lot of languages by hearing each one for a few hours.
Finch knows any equation, any tip, and remembers everything he has ever learned.
Overall, Brian is sneaky, ambitious, and stubborn. Limitless is a good show to watch, you'll be surprised of what you can learn and find out how cool Brian Finch solves many crimes.
