TV Review: Alphas: Pilot(1.01)

                                                       Alphas: Pilot(1.01)Review

I found the first episode of Alphas to be very interesting it’s about a group of people with special powers who help to solve crime. The Characters include Nina whose power is a short lasting kind of mind control, Bill whose power seems to be super strength but if he uses it for too long it’s bad for his health, Rachel whose power is increased senses also when she’s doing such as a sight scan she can’t hear, Gary who can pick waves( such as wifi, TV, and cell phones) and they are lead by Dr. Rosen who doesn’t seem to have powers but is very knowledgeable about them. I like the characters so far and I think there’s a lot of room for them to grow which is always important for a tv series.

In this episode the alphas find out who could have made a near impossible shot that killed a federal witness and they find that it’s a man named Hicks who is also an alpha whose power is being a near perfect shot and he’s under mind control. Hicks ends up helping the alphas in the end and it looks like he’ll join the team next episode although it’s not exactly because he wants to. The bad guy of this episode is also an alpha with a strong mind control power and a strong case of OCD, the guy complete freaks out when there’s a loose thread on his jacket and when it’s ripped a little later on and he wears gloves most the time probably because he’s afraid of germs and his hands has blisters all over them probably due to over washing he seemed like an interesting villain so I’m a little disappointed that he died.

I overall really liked this episode and I’m excited for next week’s episode. Please tell me your thoughts on this episode in the comment section below.
