Limitless

Continuing the theme of movies coming to TV is Limitless by executive producer Bradley Cooper. Once again, CBS is not trying to adapt, but merely continue the story using a different central character played by Jake McDorman as Brian Finch who like Bradley Cooper's character in the feature film Limitless, gets his had on the brain enhancing drug NZT.

Going from lazy slacker to FBI Agent, Brian must help them solve complex cases for them in exchange for a daily dose of NZT. But, Brian is in a bit of a bind, if he doesn't take his NZT he goes through crazy withdrawal and will revert back to couch mode. But, in all experiments with the FBI, those on NZT eventually die a terrible death.

In walks Senator, Edward Edward Mora. Yup! Played by Bradley Cooper himself who will be making guest appearances throughout the series. The Senator has a proposition of Brian. He too will supply the NZT and a drug only he knows about that will help him become invincible to the NZT death. In exchange, Brian must occasionally do the Senator favours. 

Limitless, is fun, fast paced and if you are a fan of the movie, you will certainly love this series. The characters are gritty and the story builds with good momentum. Brian is the perfect agent, being that he can use 100% of his brain and can solve crimes faster than all agents combined. This is the telling of a modern superhero!
