It's tough to imagine adding yet another mysterious sci-fi show into the jam-packed schedule. But with Beyond you'll get a conspiracy, supernatural abilities, and the heart-warming family moments to give you those fuzzy feelings.
All of this postcoma supernaturalism is familiar, of course... That doesn't mean the territory can't be revisited effectively, and this show... has good bones... But when it most needs to be intriguing - at the start - it's just ordinary.
The power of this series lies not necessarily in its plot and characters as much as its ability to send viewers hurtling through virtual reality without any more equipment than their own senses.
That's really where Beyond shines: a production value that elevates the standard and editing that injects electricity into the familiar. It's fun and safe, with a cast that sharpens the dull edges.
