Limitless Is The Best Superhero Show On TV

Wow, I'm watching the second ep now and this is so much more enjoyable to me than The Flash. Great lead character, funny, intense and even increasingly moving.
No costumes or codenames, but you leading man has super powers and is keeping secrets from everyone around him while he solves crimes. Great stuff.

Anyone else watching this?

Do you have to see the movie to understand the show?

Definitely not at all. But it may make you want to watch it! Which you should some time!

Ah, I remember someone telling me about the movie. He said it was pretty over-the-top and silly, but if the TV show ever appears on Netflix I may just check it out.

I like this tv show too!
But, there's one I enjoy even more: Scorpion. Also kind of a superhero show without real superheroes.
Four geniuses with very high IQ but very low EQ, one 'normal' person to translate the world to them, and they helping her understand her genius young son. Doing missions for a special government team that no one else can do.
I particularly like the character buildups and arcs.

But Limitless is very enjoyable as well. In a way the shows resemble eachother somewhat, they show overlapping themes of being a genius and seeing comnections no one else can fathom because you're IQ is through the roof.

Speaking of tv series anout geniuses, it's also why I loved House, even Blackadder, and why I've recently become a total Sherlock geek - by which I mean Sherlock the BBC tv series with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman. That show makes me laugh and cry and everything in between. Totally awesome.
