Helix (2014)
Thrilling show with great atmosphere
I was really looking forward to this show and it am not disappointed. In fact it was even better than expected.
The pilot left me absolutely stunned and excited for more, and the quality seems to be maintained in the following episodes (for now).
The basic plot reminds me of The Thing (which was great), but there seems to be much more to it. There are a lot of secrets about the lab remaining to be revealed. They don't just throw it to your face like "Scientist without morals created super virus, everybody dies, and that's it." It's not.
I also really like the arctic laboratory setting combined with the top level camera work. The mostly unknown cast works well together, and the writing is outright serious. No dull jokes or overly sensitive characters like we know from various teen- and wannabe adult-series.
All in all this show is very exciting with a darker feel to it.
Btw, I am actually really surprised about all the negative reviews in here. For me this is one of the best shows I have seen in a while. (I see a lot)
