When being asked to investigate some strange occurrences, Jack Whelan, a former Los Angeles Police Department detective concentrates his search on a secret society devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others.
Even if viewers are a little mystified for the first couple of episodes, they should still enjoy the show for its spooky atmosphere and odd flashes of humor.
What's the opposite of appointment TV? I'm washing my hair TV? I'm going out - somewhere, anywhere - TV? Or maybe it's just disappointment TV, in which case Intruders is a flagrant example.
Throw in a shadowy late-night radio broadcaster and hints about finding immortality by taking over the bodies of others, and BBC America once again has plunged us into an alternative universe where strange and rarely wonderful things happen.
Those willing to be strung along on the quest for immortality front would do far better to catch up or stay with FX's ongoing The Strain. Intruders, in contrast, just can't seem to breathe sustaining life into its characters or storyline.
The problems with Intruders come from the narrative, one that is constantly replacing each answer with a new question as it tries to keep us on our toes but fails to offer something relatable in the process.
Though flawed in [some] ways, viewers may still be drawn to Intruders in order to unwrap the fascinating mysteries not only of the Qui Reverti, but of its enigmatic characters.
