Eureka (2006–2012)
7/10
Amusing

Eureka is a somewhat unremarkable but entertaining show. The carbohydrates of television. The premise unique, but its not especially spectacular in its execution and their format is more episodic, though on occasion it does develop a deeper plot line and overall story arc, but the main focus is on weekly episodes with their "gadget of the week gone wrong" formula. But nonetheless they've got their own style, chemistry among the cast, and an entertaining amount of jokes and sticky situations, and they're pretty creative about the technology, which is the main focus of their show, and it does keep it interesting enough for some light viewing. As far as the science goes, they seem to understand the basics but its not like the show is made by actual scientists, its writers, a base level understanding is all they have, but luckily all they need to make some entertaining television. Its not a must view, but its a fun way to spend a weekend if you got nothing else. Its not even hit and miss either, the show has never shined but never really failed either, its always been in that middle ground for me the entire time it was running.
