Review of Threshold

Threshold (2005–2006)
5/10
Not getting anywhere
27 December 2007
You've seen this before (Invasion, 4400). Bunch of people gets infected by extra terrestrial "stuff" starts acting strangely and another bunch of people investigate.

Unlike "Invasion" (which was also dropped) this gets nowhere. Threshold (the other bunch of people) turns into some kind of government agency tracking the affected first bunch of people with a ridiculously small crew, with a sometimes stupid strategy (when suspecting widespread sabotage/contamination of food supplies, water supplies should be of vital importance to protect, no?; when putting together a thinktank - why have only 1 of each specialist on the job?).

Also each episode is pretty repetitive. Infected person gets detected, Threshold catches him/her/it. And the characters are very two dimensional, but perhaps they would've developed given more time - although 13 episodes should have been time enough to get *somewhere* with these guys. The only one I actually liked was the Dr Ramsey character.

Worth a look, don't expect too much though.
