Customer Reviews

Great fun, human interaction masked as sci-fi

I came late to the series as I do not watch this type of program on T.V. It tends to pass time and never get anywhere. Once you realize there is just a more recent “Days of Our Lives” and quit looking for a cohesive story, you can enjoy each unique episode. Just understand that there are no great insights, just fun watching how they put it together. We must create a psychological situation and an antagonist, and let the main character solve the situation all in 42 minutes. Look closely, and periodically, there is product name recognition like “Cisco Systems.” If you get to season one episode ten (Purple Haze), you will find that it is a rip-off of Startrek “This Side of Paradise.” For those people contemplating the series or just interested, here is a quick overview of Eureka (2006 TV series). The Town of Eureka contains mostly scientific types who work for a secret government project in a hidden facility nearby. Someone or something is always getting into trouble (mostly from experiments) and needs a down-to-earth Sheriff Jack Carter (Colin Ferguson) to help interpret and solve the problem. Jack has problems of his own trying to relate to women, including his teenage daughter Zoe (Jordan Hinson). On the sinister side is some mysterious cabal, whose only known member to us is psychiatrist Beverly Barlowe (Debrah Farentino). It gets deeper and more convoluted in each season. We get introduced to more characters, and you will recognize the actors from other series of this type like “Whare House 13”.
