Following the death of a witness in a court case, Dr. Lee Rosen leads a team of "Alphas", (advanced human beings) who have have a number of special skills that makes them a formidable team. As Rosen mentors them and teaches the team to harness their considerable skills, they begin to realize that there are powerful forces behind the courthouse murder, including one of their own. Alphas is a science fiction drama focusing on a team that investigates people with supernatural abilities. Alphas is a great SciFi series and I hope it goes far. Five people, called Alphas, have supernatural powers. Strength, Extreme senses,ability to see all forms of electromagnetic wave, mind control, and many more are all stressed in the first episode of suspense and questions. Bill is aggressive, an so far my least favorite character. Gary is my favorite characters, and that's not just because hes Vincent off of BONES, but because of his abnormal attitude and great…well, not so great, personality. Nina and the other girl are very conflicting characters. On one hand, ones a whore and the other is kinda annoying. On the other hand, Vincent is so cute in this series! Ahem…. My family and I loved this Pilot and hopes the series continues.<br/><br/>BTW, the people with negative reviews should have better reasons than, "Oh this is old" or "That's not America!". The show is amazing, and has NO qualities of the X-men. Why? Because the X-men comics have to do with SCIENCE and mutations and FOCUS on that. Doesn't that mean EVERY SINGLE SUPERHERO show copy the X-men? No, it means this is different, and action-y and well written!<br/><br/>So WATCH IT! It's a great thinker, and leaves you at the edge of your seat! OK Alphas meaning " Alpha Male " a term of Evolution just Like " Mutant ". Sound familiar? Think X-men.<br/><br/>Dr. Rosen = Professor X ( without ability ) taking in and searching for " ALPHAS " to help them realize their potential and help them control their abilities. His team of "ALPHAS" fighting the EVIL team of ALPHAS "RED FLAG" ergo ( X-men vs Magneto and friends or Brotherhood of Evil Mutants…you decide ). Either way, its a new spin on another comic book Idea that is over 30 years old. Not to say it's not entertaining and I like that they highlight the handicapped and show them how powerful they can be in other ways, especially for the comic book lover ( like me ) out there but, come on SyFy, come up with something a bit more original please….. I am begging you.
