TV show description:
A science fiction crime drama, this TV show follows the events of the 2011 film of the same name.
The series centers around the drug NZT-48 which unlocks 100% of the brain, giving whoever takes it complete recall of whatever they have learned — whether it be in class, a documentary, or even subconsciously. The origins of the drug are a mystery but it’s highly addictive and can have serious side-effects.
Deadbeat Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) is at a stage in his life where he realizes his ambition of becoming a rock star is not going to happen. Eddie Mora (Bradley Cooper) introduces Brian to the mysterious clear pill and it doesn’t take him long to realize its potential.
With his brain unlocked, he exhibits almost superhuman characteristics. Even Special Agent Boyle (Hill Harper), a highly skilled and highly trained professional who is at the top of his game, is unable to chase down Brian.
Aware of the drug’s existence through largely failed testing, FBI agent Rebecca Harris (Jennifer Carpenter) believes Brian’s abilities can be used as a resource and is determined to get Brian on her side.
With people willing to kill for the drug, Brian must decide where his loyalties lie.
Episode #22 — Finale: Part Two!
Following a stunning betrayal to their team, Brian and the FBI race to stop an NZT-enabled Sands (Colin Salmon) and his associates from orchestrating an international incident. Also, Brian experiences devastating side effects when his NZT immunity starts to wear off
First aired: April 26, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Limitless TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
You give us a good show and then take them away from us.
There are very few shows that I routinely watched on live television. Before CBS made the ill-advised decision to cancel it, Limitless was one of them. Limitless – with its riveting plot, outstanding writing, strong characters and excellent acting throughout its ensemble cast – makes us believe that the improbable is just routine. Rarely do you find a show of its caliber on network television. That fact alone should have told me its fate, but I held out hope that for once a network would keep such an excellent show in its line up. Nope. If there is to be… Read more »
Keep everything the same. Allow for a more adult theme and I would watch it in a heart beat!!!
I can’t believe this show is gone. I don’t watch tv and this was the only reason to turn on the tv. please bring it back.
You canceled the best show on tv. My husband and I could not wait until the next show from week to week. One of the few shows we watched on your network. Why did you cancel ???..because you got pressure perhaps that it had drugs in the plot? Are you afraid that it may cause people to use drugs when you show murder, rape, police shooting on your network? Stop being political correct. We are not stupid we know it is not reality-based.coming from a current peace officer. No wonder why your network is low in ratings
cbs just moved Supergirl to the cw network to save money, can’t they do the same here, come-on fans speak out, we have to let CBS kwon how we feel.
love the show, left us hanging, wanting more, great writing and casting, was very pleased when it was renewed, can’t understand what change? can another network pick it up?

OMG – another great, funny, interesting, with great characters w/ perfect cast actors bites the dust – why is this one getting canceled & when are the NETWORKS going to wake up and figure out how to evolve? I am completely shocked- Can CBS please tell the public why???? LIMITLESS is a very cool and different show- Drama, Comedy, Fun Suspense ! People watch things via the DVR and streaming too- I will have to say a… Read more »
Great show, but I knew it would be canceled because not mainstream enough to be watched by the majority of sitcom TV. watchers.
This is my absolute favorite show. It was one of the only shows that never sat on my DVR because I couldn’t wait. It’s just the right amount of science fiction that lets your mind wonder what if? I love the crazy character of Brian Finch, always knows what’s going on and just enough smart ass to make you laugh. Please don’t cancel.
CBS you greatly disappoint me, funny interesting show & you cancel after one season.
HULU or Netflix please pickup this show, save it from the alphabet networks who don’t know a good show when they see it.

Renew! It should go on.

Why cancel such a really good show, great acting aand suspense. Bring it back.
