    Anyone watch these shows?
    It is the standard for . .. if nothing else is on . .. . i watch this

    So far it has had moments but overall a big bucket of Meh

    I must admit the online stuff they have seems like it would be kool interaction
    but the shows has not piquied my interest enough for me to go looking around on it.

    I put the shows together because. . .well . . .I don't think they deserve their own thread

    Early in the season I thought 12 Monkeys could be special. But it's settled into OK. I'll keep watching.

    Helix lost me last year after the 2nd or 3rd episode. Maybe it got better.

    Yeah I also stopped watching Helix after a couple episodes last year, too boring and cliche

    No . . it really didn't

    I am a bit of a completist
    but neither of these shows has lived up to the promise

    Helix is KILLED by THE STRAIN
    [when they both came out they seemed comparable
    virus causing people to go wild. . but completely different stories
    the Strain is infinitely better]

    12 Monkeys is just a sh!tty sh!tty time travel story
    The Fricking FLASH does it better

    In all honesty . .. the Movie was not that great

    12 Monkeys was a fantastic movie. I tried to give the show a chance (even though I knew it would suck) and sure enough, it sucks.

    I liked Season 1 of Helix until the last episode really. It was interesting, though the quality level was low (acting, script, etc.). Can't get into another season of it though. Want to check out The Strain

    I've watched every episode of 12 Monkeys. It's OK but could be so much better. Really, they should have just sought to do 8-12 episodes. With this premise you can't have multiple seasons without every episode becoming meaningless.

    Also... Dr. Railly is hot beyond words.

    I thought season 1 of Helix was ok. Considered giving up on it but finished it eventually. I'll probably at least give season 2 a try.

    12 Monkeys is good. I think it could be better, but it still keeps me watching.

    agreed. Terrible start after a bad ending to last season (imo) made me quit very quickly on S2
