TV Review: Beyond Series 1 Episode 2 "Tempus Fugit" [Emz]

So I have finally watched the second episode. This episode is a mixture of Holden trying to adjust to his life, but also being very wary of people around him.

Here is the plot:

Holden tries to forget about the strange events he has experienced and lead a normal life; Holden attends a college party with Luke, but his memories of Willa cause trouble; Tom and Diane attempt to bond with their now-adult son.

Review:

This was an interesting episode. it continues on from last time but Holden is very jumpy as he doesn't understand what is happening to him.

He keeps seeing people and places but he isn't physically there. The biggest reaction is when his brother takes him to a college party and he inhales drugs through a game. The effect ends up making him burn the house down by accident.

We also see the man in the yellow jacket from last time and find out he is working for someone called Frost.

I will review episode 3 eventually

Till next time

TV Review: Beyond Season 1 Premiere "Pilot" [Emz]

So I have just started watching this show. I kept seeing it advertised when following Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments.

Here is the Premise for the first episode:

Holden Matthews miraculously wakes up from a devastating coma to the wonderment of his parents Tom and Diane and younger brother Luke. But the world has changed since Holden went to sleep, and he now has to navigate being an adult when all he remembers is being a child. At the same time, Holden is experiencing abilities and memories he can't explain, and a mysterious woman named Willa warns him not to trust those around him. When a sinister stranger attacks Holden and claims he knows about his new powers, Holden is faced with uncovering just what happened to him while he was in a coma.

Review:

Well this was certainly different. Its still sci-fi and fantasy but at least it's not time travel or people would think I was obsessed. 

Anyway, I quite liked this. The fact that he is trying to catch up with what he has missed whilst he was in a coma, but not knowing why everyone seems to be out to get him. It's a little different from your usual coma stories. 

After being given a message on not being able to trust anyone and then a stranger saves him, but doesn't remember them. That makes for an interesting story-line. Having amnesia from a coma is one thing but in this case having amnesia from what happened while he was in the coma is very different.

I look forward to seeing whats to come.

Till next time
