Plot summary : Tate (Jake McLaughlin) is on death row and has only 30 minutes until his execution. He's visited by a priest who tells him he's there to help him break out - as long as Tate agrees to do a job for him. Tate agrees and soon finds himself employed by Milton Winter (Delroy Lindo) - who impersonated the priest - and Channing (Jamie Chung) to care for a young girl, Bo Adams (Johnny Sequoyah) who has extraordinary abilities . There are powerful forces who want to get control of her and her skills and Tate's first job is to get her out of the hospital after her , there they are chased by a cruel killer woman (Sienna Guillory). Two major groups are fighting to get to Bo and her supernatural powers . While the connection of Winter and his team to Bo was clear, the involvement of Skouras (Kyle MacLachlan) was murkier , as he is the employer of a mercenary sent to retrieve Bo . Meanwhile , FBI Agent Elizabeth Farrell (Trieste Kelly Dunn) is in charge of tracking down an escapee and Bo Adams . Later on , Bo and Tate are on their way to the safe house in Philadelphia but have to stop in Atlantic City on the way .

Entertaining TV series plenty of action , thrills , suspense and supernatural events . It is a crossover between ¨Touch¨ series and ¨D.A.R.Y.L.¨ film with a little girl and an escaped inmate being pursued by all kind of forces such as CIA , FBI , Police and other strange organizations as a group known as Orchestra . Furthermore , an enjoyable relationship between two main protagonists , the girl with fantastic skills and a death row escapee . Nice acting by Johnny Sequoyah as a little girl who has extraordinary powers , to sense the feelings of others and the ability to influence those around her and acceptable interpretation by Jake McLaughlin as a tough young who cares the child against violent enemies . The first two episodes of "Believe," viewers have seen some of Johnny Sequoyah's powers and been told that she may have even greater untapped abilities , what hasn't been explored, though, is the source of her abilities . Very good support cast such as Delroy Lindo as Milton , Sienna Guillory as a highly skilled assassin , Jamie Chung as enticing Channing , Kyle MacLachlan as nasty Skouras , Rami Malek as Dr. Adam Terry and many others .

The first part is a magnificent thriller chapter introducing the attractive characters ; the second one is a solid episode that, while lacking the visual flair of the pilot, does a good job furthering the story and adding new complications.This is a new NBC ratings hit supernatural series splendidly created by Mark Friedman and recently Oscarized Alfonso Cuaron (Gravity) . Being lavishly produced by great TV producers as Bryan Burk , Kathy Lingg , Athena Wickham and J.J. Abrams (Lost , Person of interest , Revolution , Almost human) .
