Review of Believe

Believe (2014)
8/10
A Strong Pilot, and Second Episode. I Want More of Believe
18 March 2014
I came across Believe when an advert on British television for it was aired, as it is coming to British screens later this month. I decided to watch it online, and it was impossible to stop watching it. For a Pilot, it was a solid, stable opening to the show with the characters being introduced and their relationships kick-started. I found the special effects used good enough, as it's not about the effects. When they were needed they looked realistic enough for me, and I felt the show was not meant to be a massive Science-Fiction extravaganza, but more of a fantasy-drama. We explore relationships, the plot of the show and how they'll develop over time.

As for the cast I love the casting of Johnny Sequoyah and Jake McLaughlin and would like to see their on-screen relationship develop. I also like the casting of Jamie Chung and Delroy Lindo as supporting cast, and as the second episode showed, they have their own reasons for their actions and their reasons are quite genuine and realistic. I can definitely say I am waiting eagerly for episode 3, and it annoys me to wait for it, but I know it will be worth the wait as it is with Game of Thrones, and The Walking Dead also. Well worth watching for fans of science-fiction, or fantasy shows and movies.
