PERCEPTION

THIS IS NOT A CRYPTIC STATEMENT ON PERCEPTION OR SOME KIND OF A PHILOSOPHICAL BULLSHIT REGARDING THE ACT OF PERCEPTION. THIS IS ABOUT THE NEWEST TNT SERIES FROM USA. OH YEYYY! UHHH.. NOT?

taken from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Perception.jpg)

IT STARS, ERIK MCCORMACK, WILL FROM WILL AND GRACE. WELL LET’S TALK ABOUT THE ACTOR LATER. 

FIRST LET’S START WITH THE PREMISE OF THE SERIES IT STARS DANIEL AN ECCENTRIC NEUROSCIENTIST WHO HAS A SCHIZOPHRENIC CONDITION IT TACKLES HIS STRUGGLES IN LIFE AS A PROFESSOR WITH HIS CONDITION. IT ALSO GIVES US A PEEK ON HIS LOVE LIFE, WELL PEEK IS KND OF AN UNDERSTATEMENT SINCE THE DIRECTION OF THE FIRST TWO EPISODES OF THE SHOW IS ABOUT DANIEL’S RELUCTANCE TO VENTURE INTO AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS COLLEAGUE AND FORMER STUDENT AN FBI AGENT NAMED KATE MORRETI.

IT’S LIKE A MASH UP OF MONK MEETS HOUSE MEETS LIE TO ME MEETS CRIMINAL MINDS. TO SAY THE LEAST IT LACKS ORIGINALITY THOUGH IT GAVE US A NEW KIND OF CRIME SOLVING. ANOTHER “SCIENCE” THAT IS VERY INTRIGUING SINCE IT’S USUAL PURPOSE IS NOT RELATED TO CRIME SOLVING, MUCH LIKE NUMB3RS AND CASTLE. SEE I CAN NAME A WHOLE LOT OF SERIES THAT SOMEHOW DEPICTS THE SAME IDEA!

BUT ON A LIGHTER NOTE, IT IS QUITE INTRIGUING ON HOW THEY COULD CREATE A MUCH MORE IN DEPTH AND INTERESTING STORYLINE SINCE THE SCOPE OF THE PREMISE IS VERY LIMITED IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE WRITERS WILL CREATE FRESH AND INTERESTING STORY LINES OTHER THAN THE HOUSE-MEETS-MONK PREMISE AND THE FORCED LOVE STORY BETWEEN ERIK AND RACHEL LEIGH THAT CLEARLY LACKS CHEMISTRY.

AS FOR ERIK MCCORMACK BEING THE LEAD CHARACTER I GUESS I SHOULD MAKE AN EFFORT TO FORGET HIS CHARACTER IN WILL IN GRACE SINCE THEY ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CHARACTERS WITH NOTHING IN COMMON.

BUT THEN AGAIN IT’S STILL VERY EARLY IN THE STORY TO COMPLETELY CAPTURE THE IDEA OF THE STORY AND CRITIQUE THE SAME IN DEPTH. I WOULD DEFINITELY FOLLOW THIS SERIES.
