Screenrant | ‘Limitless’ Premiere Review
Screenrant
The pilot episode for Limitless, the sort-of sequel to the film of the same name starring Bradley Cooper, feels like two shows crammed into one. The first show is a series that asks the question: What would you do if someone handed you unlimited potential in pill form? As the film demonstrated, you would first fulfill your baser needs of money, sex, and attention (i.e., fame) and then you would seek higher ground, basically in the name of power – which Cooper’s character did by seeking public office. In the series, Brian Finch, a wannabe musician played by Jake McDorman reduces these ambitions to doing a really good job his first day as a temporary filing clerk, then by playing someone else’s guitar in a public square, and then solving the mystery of his father’s illness.
