This hooked me; the protagonist Dr Jacob Hood is an appealingly human scientist focusing on solving bizarre events.
Interesting note: Episode #15 “Electro” addresses viruses. Sobering statement about viruses: “Viruses naturally keep mutating. That’s why a vaccine developed today will be useless in a year.” I regret that I heard that.
Based on a UK show of the same name from 2006 with Patrick Stewart as the lead.
If only…If only… If only the US had a “special science advisor to the government” like Jacob Hood I could rest a bit easier. I like this show very much and the science is fantastic. Rufus Sewell is a great actor. He fits all the roles he plays. He’s very intense.
