Unfortunately, the efforts to root the story in reality also succeed in making it fairly mundane.
October 19, 2011
It's that kind of science-fiction drama, one that understands that a little bit of bathos and banality will enrich the mix, rather than curdle it.
July 11, 2011
The soul of the show is its conflicted "heroes," truly tortured, in palpable ways. There's no cartoonery here. Just adult adventure and angst.
July 06, 2011
It's a light, entertaining and mostly well-acted show that could develop a fascinating mythology or end up just spinning its wheels.

Things just don't jell very well on any level in the all-important introductory episode.
July 10, 2011
Each character possesses his own set of personal struggles and flaws, as well as a deep back story, and each brings a unique dynamic to the group, which will make Alphas one of the best summer shows, not just on Syfy, but on television.
July 11, 2011
SyFy's Alphas might have been a reasonable excuse for summer entertainment five years ago but we've seen too many shows like it in the last few to give this disappointment a pass.

Alphas is hardly the alpha show in this supernatural-hero genre, but it's still engaging.
July 11, 2011
The basic premise "people with different powers combining them to fight for a worthy cause" may be ancient, but it still works.
July 11, 2011
Alphas at least has the grace to tread wryly and lightly.
