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?
One of the best shows I’ve discovered on Netflix. Great mix of crime and comedy. Very disappointing it did not get renewed. I hope it’s not too late for Netflix to pick it up.
Please give us another season!
I just binge watched Season 1.
I absolutely loved it.
Every character brought you right into their lives.
Sad to now realize it was cancelled after 1 Season.
Bring it back.
Maybe a “Netflix Original” or something
Think about it
Why would such a good show be canceled? The last thing we need is another reality TV show. This show is escapism at its best!
This was one of my all time favorite shows and I cannot believe it was cancelled after one season. I am so disappointed. The writing of the show as well as the cast, directing, filming and everything was all done so well
I hadn’t watched the Limitless movie that the tv show was based on but I watched it when the season ended. I loved the tv show even more after watching the movie.
Please bring this show back. It was funny and very clever
!
and if u arent going to bring it back im boycotting CBS
TV executives believed audiences were not smart enough, to follow such a complex show, was a quote I read. So they will bring in something worse, and lazy to replace it. Just another hour I won’t be watching CBS.
Was really upset to hear this was dropped. Really great chemistry between the two leads, good storylines and above all good entertainment.
Needs a second breath.
My family is devastated by the cancelling of this show. We’re all as addicted to it as Brian is to NZT. How could it not have been a success? Can’t Netflix or Amazon pick it up?
Really liked this one!!
I think I died and went to hell. How can this be. My fiancé and I watched this show religiously. I DVRed every episode..we ended up missing the last few episodes bc my dvr decided to just up and delete everything I had saved. Which included this amazing show. Please bring it back. Whoever was the genius to cancelled said show should have their head examined.
Please bring it back WOW LOVE THIS SHOW. Whoever decided to cancel should be cancelled aka FIRED. What a dumb decision to cancel this show missed it whn it first aired must have been distracted buy stupid stuff on TV like the last election….BRING IT BACK!!!!
Seriously, just finished watching it on Netflix with my Dad and we’re both left unsatisfied with it ending just like that. I know they left it pretty finished without any cliff hangers but that just felt forced because they must have known they would be canceled. Why can’t they bring it back?
I can’t believe they aren’t renewing this show!!! It’s a damn good show with a great cast and good writing.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep this show going! It deserves to be renewed for several seasons at least. Whoever decided to canceled should be fired immediately and never allowed to be in a position to decide a show fate ever again!
