About

"A brain-boosted procedural with genuine visual wit"

Brian Finch, an aimless slacker, stumbles onto NZT-48, the mind-expanding drug from the film this show spins off from, and gets recruited by the FBI to solve cases using his newly limitless brainpower. Each episode is a breezy, high-concept case-of-the-week with flashy visual gimmicks showing his hyper-charged thought process. It's fast, colorful, and more comedic than the movie, leaning on charm and gadget-brain fun rather than tension. Bradley Cooper pops in occasionally reprising his film role, giving it a nice connective thread for fans of the original.

Watch it for

the inventive, kinetic way it visualizes a hyper-accelerated brain solving cases.

Maybe skip if

you want serialized depth rather than breezy, drug-of-the-week procedural cases.
