I am loving this show. Why? It has a more realistic feel, and research into HOW things could be possible seems to be better done than the flashier "Fringe" Airing On fox. Don't get me wrong, I love both shows, but for COMPLETELY different reasons. "Fringe" is More on the Sci Fi edge of speculative fiction, more flashy, and less believable as happening now instead of in 20 years despite the insertion of terms, agencies, and political conflicts.
Eleventh Hour, on the other hand, Seems more as though it could be happening right now. While there are A LOT of things that are not accurate (Like test results coming back quickly, some lax use of contamination procedures) they are ones that are done to make the story fit within a time period, and for much the same reasons as the same flaws popping up in, say, CSI. As for the feel, it feels like it could be happening in the same time as CSI.
If you are looking for hoogity-boogity, action movie paced, Jules Verne-esquire Speculation, and the sort of feel found in Supernatural, House and any number of the high special effect shows running right now- this isn't your show and I'd recommend Fringe.
However, if you are the sort that likes methodology, thought, and are a fan of CSI- this might be something not to skip. I'd also rec for folks that preferred the more logical/science based episodes of X-files, and for folks that enjoy Bones but like more speculative in their fiction.
My best rec thus far as to be season 1 episode 4. I was greatly impressed by the actual research thing on the LIVES OF AUTISTICS that was done, and felt that a lot of positive and accurate information about the reality of living with the disorder was. Both sides- those of the Autistics themselves, as well as VARIED reactions of parents- were demonstrated. My Favorite Quote ***SPOILER*** was Hood's "Who are you to say that they need fixing?" ***END SPOILER*** Over all, Iwas highly impressed and must applaud the writers on a job well and RESPECTFULLY done.
