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?
Im pissed. This was my favorite show!
I loved this show. Why would they not renew since there were so many interesting ways to add new showss.
What the he$$ CBS? Best show you had!
I loved this program.. Please let it be picked up by another station.
I love limitless!!!! Please renew!
We recorded the show on our DVR to make sure we did not miss an episode. Please bring it back. Why was it cancelled?
Cancelled? Very sad – wrong choice CBS – great show – great acting – hoping Netflix or another network pick it up
Enjoyed the show: It got better as the season went on. I am reluctant to watch CBS because they cancel great stuff and keep tripe.
This is one show my husband and I could agree on and actually looked forward to watching each week. Cannot believe they keep shows like ‘Desperate Housewives’ season after season and yet they cancel something that was written so cleverly. VERY disappointed!
Definitely one of the best new programs this past season. It is fascinating and yet so much fun to watch “Brian” or 2-3 Brians working together to solve the mystery. Please: someone bring back another season.
Yes I love that programme it should be renewed. We Brits watch USA programs get into them then they cancel them not fair.
Yes, it should be renewed, what is wrong with you. Great show
Some of the best shows in the history of television have had a chance to grow and they certainly didn’t have the chemistry or story line that Limitless had. Excellent writing and great character development. For CBS to cancel a show that had so much going for it, is a shame. I was really looking forward to season 2.
Limitless is the show that I’m most pissed about being cancelled. My favorite episode was the Ferris Beuller one. I’m boycotting all CBS shows because of this. I hope that everyone that loves this show will do so as well.
Limitless was a great show, great acting. Why would you cancel this. I can think of 100 other shows that need to be canceled and limitless is not one of them. Please renew it.
