bigstickgreg I got hooked on this while viewing options on amazon.com prime videos. As I had watched only a few episodes of "House", I didn't expect this series to keep my interest, and only selected it as something different to watch. The plots behind each of the episodes are addictive. I end up wanting to know more about medical science, pharmaceutical companies, and elected officials' input into finding cures for a variety of medical issues. I enjoy about everything in this series: acting, sets, filmography, topics, parallel scene roll-backs, and true-to-life comparisons of medical issues' reality. Kudos to everyone involved with this production. I'm only into the first four episodes of season 2, and I hope it continues on this path of excellence.
Steven Duffy Now 3 Seasons in, and a 4th coming very soon, Regenesis has to be the best Sci-Fi shows ever to be on TV. With its intense gripping story lines, with every new episode and season, you are hurled onto the edge of your seat by wonderful stories, biology and science, action and thrilling scenes which boggles which makes you think about how susceptible we are to bacteria. Witch all these gripping factors, they mix together to make a powerful show. In each Episode and Season the characters come alive while fighting to save humanity against ourselves... Have we gone too far? A question asked, decide for yourself the answer, the world of the Regenesis is pretty close to our own
Mark Hone This series showed up on a the Sci-Fi channel in the UK, but I watched it after a recommendation in a newspaper listing. I thought the characterisation and acting was in the main superb, on a par with any US or British series being made at the moment. Like another reviewer I thought that the main flaw was that they tried to cram too many plot lines into the series. When my wife and I saw episode I , we thought that it was a mini-series about a bioterrorist attack. However, just when they cranked up the tension on that story it ended abruptly and they started on another. This threw us completely and we almost stopped watching. I'm glad we didn't , because the real interest of the series is in the characterisation, as well as some of the story ideas. But there are just too many of them, and some simply peter out. This may be realistic but it makes the show disjointed and sometimes difficult to follow. Also, it may be a sign of age but could I suggest that the producers turn down the background music which often drowns out important dialogue.
wes virtue As the summary notes I like this show because it excellent, Canadian, and shot in HD. Plus in Canada to find this original content on a digital channel is unheard of. Outerbridge was impressive as Detective Murdoch in "The Murdoch Mysteries" a holmeswellyan type broadcast on bravo. He performs equally here. The characters are well portrayed and are hard to put in to a box. They come across-ed as real not stiff or stereotypical. Some are definitely not hard on the eyes. Dmitry Chepovetsky is so believable as man social issues and a too huge IQ. The diverse ethnicity and backgrounds of the cast/characters adds interest and Canadian-ness to the show which I enjoy.These genre of shows are starting to over saturate the networks. (science investigation, mystery, interesting locals) The closest comparison to be found on an American network would be "Medical Investigation". But as much as I enjoy Neal Mcdonugh the writing often stinks. I truly hope there is room time and money for mores seasons of this show. Update: Season 2 is due in Spring of 2006. Yeah eh!
