12 Monkeys The TV Show

[Water Bob]

I've been recording 12 Monkeys, the TV show, for a couple of years now. I've got, I think, 30 episodes recorded, and I see that a new season is starting up in January.


Anybody watch this show?


I loved the movie that its based on.


And, I just started the show. Looks good!

I'm really enjoying it.

I was worried when it was announced, but gave it a chance. It isn’t all great, but it IS pretty enjoyable.

Yeah, the movie is amazing. I've only seen the first episode so far of the TV series, and although it does seem to be an interesting reboot of the story, it's missing the paranoia and confusion that was prominent in the original film. Part of the appeal of the film was that, as a viewer, you weren't sure if Bruce Willis was really time travelling or if Terry Gilliam, the director, who was obviously trying to mess with your head and perceptions, would pull the rug out from under you and make you realize that all you've been watching is what Willis, the psychiatric patient, was fantasizing about in his head.

The TV show seems to be a bit more straight forward.

I've only seen a moment of her at the end of the first episode, but the chick playing the crazy who inherits all the money seems to play a great part and be a worthy TV replacement for Brad Pitt's character in the original film.

I loved it, though it goes far beyond what the movie was about. (Apparently, the original story for the show wasn't even based on 12 Monkeys.)

They are both based on the same thing:

I feel guilty about not watching it because I really like Emily Hampshire. Does that count?

She really stands out. Great actress. I've never seen her before.
