Watched the whole things cuz once I'm enticed to start a Syfy series I can't stop. Won't be biting on any season 2 bait though. The title of this show should be The Impulse to Rape, or perhaps, the Impulse to Sexually Assault. Though clearly no one would watch it then. The subject is treated sometimes honestly, insightfully, sensitively, but mostly - Progressively. As is the case with almost all drama whose primary objective is the selling of a political point of view and retraining the masses, the art suffers. Actors do their best with the preachy lines and 2 dimensionally motivated characters. If you and yours are of the ilk that needs, "to be taught not to rape", this is as painless a vehicle as any. Otherwise this fails, or is at best mediocre fare, for all the genres, teen angst, syfy, superhero, etc. it purports to be about.

I can't help but imagine there were a few conversations that took place while making this show that would explain a lot.1. I really like Cara Delevigne. Sure, her movies are always horrible but I really like her. So do kids. Will she do a TV Show for us? No? Well what if we just rent her eyebrows and put them on another blonde?2. Did you realize we bought the film rights to this insightful realistic show about modern teenagers dealing with real life struggles, bullying, and the infiltration of drugs into small town america? No, but I just got done watching season one of Banshee. Man, that was crazy using the Amish like that! Who's out there that's exactly like that but not, so we don't get sued? ...Well, I guess there's Mennonites? 3. So, about that incredible award winning YA novel we bought the rights to...? Aw, screw it. What's popular right now? #MeToo is big. Give me something with a sex assault survivor but don't make it all gay like in the books. And shows about autism. Yeah. Those are big. Did you see the one where they made the kid, like, a doctor? I want a genius autistic kid in my show. What do you mean that makes no sense? Just do it. Also, I've got 20$ riding on a bet with my neighbor. He says there's no way we can do a book adaptation of one of the most critically acclaimed YA novels of the last decade while not using a single character, plot point, power, motivation, or even geographic location. Make it happen.

Impulse (2018. Ep01 the first 5 minutes pulled me in like the cow splitting in "Under the dome" ep01, but even so the singular deal-with-rape in a budding recognition of teleportation powers-story with both international and local side story persecution is maybe wisely only given 10 eps, and how they will resolve even that in the last 4 eps is beyond me.Then for unfathomable reasons I DID watch the last 4 episoded: What absolute CRUD! Worst piece of story arc and incomprehensible approval by story excecs since Andromeda - and that was even understandably bad. It MUST have been sold on the tele-transportation effects ALONE, and then all of the studio excecs left for holiday for the duration of shooting and came back to this!What a perfect REAL waste of time!(And that is not discounting the contained rape-attempt story, the Viewer distrection "beware of foul language and disturbing images" at the beginning of every episode, and the Rape hotline telephone number at the end of every episode. WAS this series commissioned by an anti-rape organisation!? I don't mind that, if that can either give power back to rape victims or prevent even one rape altogether, but there IS such a thing as QUALITY, and if you drop the ball in a multimillion dollar advertising campaign, it will be a while before you are given the chance again. These script writers should NOT have worked on something of this relevance! Eg.: the last episode ended 10 minutes in, and the rest was talk stalling and waiting for the 45 minutes mark and season cliff-hanger. Talk about incompetence. Wouldn't the last episode be where you create wonderful expectations and aspirations for the next season?!
