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?
I loved Limitless! It is fast fun and I love the technology and how it’s presented. The possibilities are limitless!
But it wouldn’t be the first time people in charge failed to recognize a great idea
One of my most favorite shows on TV. I stumbled across it on Netflix and have been working my way through the episodes. Much better than all the reality shows out there, which I do not even watch. It was a big mistake to cancel this program so I vote to please bring it back. Thank you
An amazingly creative and thought provoking show. With the mindless drivel that occupies most of TV these days, it was great to watch a show that showed intelligence and warmth and plausibility all at the same time. Perhaps the dumbed down TV watching public found it too difficult to comprehend.
I say bring it back ASAP.
I agree with all the comments here……please bring this program back. It doesn’t matter what network it is on.
Love Love Love this show but of course it’s cancelled! All the good shows get cancelled and you keep the crap we all hate! Soon people will just stop watching tv series at all because we are so tired of being left hanging with no ending! Stop this crazy BS! Please! Why do you have crappy reality shows we all hate and you keep them but get rid of the great series? Bring this one back please!
One of the best TV series in a long while. Big mistake to cancel.
OMG I have been waiting or this to come back on. There are only a few tv shows that I watch. This was by far one of my favorites. Please don’t cancel…
amazing show! please don’t cancel, quality is lacking enough in television, lately.
I came across the Limitless series by accident recently on Netflix and my wife and two teenage kids are binge watching it. Hands down it’s our favorite show. It’s unthinkable that any network would let such a well crafted original series of programming slip away. Especially with the promise of sales on the back end. I always purchase a box set of series (example Sopranoes). I hope someone at CBS or another outlet will rethink this terrible choice and add more seasons. Saying it doesn’t have an audience reminds me of the time they said the show about that spaceship… Read more »
This show is very entertaining, funny, clever, and suspenseful. Mistake to cancel. Please bring it back. Thank you.
I liked the show a lot and I don’t think it should have been canceled. A lot of my favorite shows are getting canceled after the first season. I think they should keep limitless !
They cancel because they think they can come up with something better. Stupid, they shoud stick with what we all want to watch and stop cancelling the good ones. Means I will move to another network and find something else they will cancel.
I guess CBS wants to lose viewers? Why do they always cancel the best shows. Off to Netflix so they can appreciate my money.
Totally enjoyed it from beginning to end. Very funny with great writing!
This show had great potential, and some great acting. It was let down by a script that was going nowhere though! The sky is the limit here as far as possible story-lines were concerned, instead we got something that was unfocused and uninspiring – just look at how the season ended!!!
The show should have been renewed, it’s the writers that should have been axed.
