What the hell did I just watch.

Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe I wasted ten hours of my life on a show that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Usually when producers and writers want to pass bullshit off as plausible, they try to dress it up and not let the gaping plot holes look so gaping. But this was just ridiculous. Also, this show does not fall under the sci-fi category. It falls under the teen angst category.

It's about a kid named Holden who goes into a coma at the age of 13 and then wakes up 12 years later with powers (something novel? Nope, just telekinesis). Defying human psychology, this should-be man- child is not a man-child but a man in the sense that he is apparently capable to functioning like a 25 year old and not Tom Hanks in Big. BUT, he does not have any experience with girls. BUT BUT, he regains his memories and it turns out that he does have experience with girls because he's spent the last 12 years in another dimension so cleverly called The Realm. Do they provide exposition about this Realm? Noooo, they basically only focus on his sexytimes with this Willa girl. Then *gasp* there's another girl that comes into the picture and then there's the critical question of omg who will he chose?

Where's the sci-fi, you ask? I've been asking myself the same question for the last ten hours.

I also felt like this whole thing was very Twilight in that Holden and his brother are away from home, being involved in weird nonsense, but their parents don't care..? To check up on them..? ...Ever?

Anyway, if you're thinking about watching this, please don't...? Save yourself some misery, and just watch Family Feud or something. Anything. That isn't this. (I can't believe it's been renewed for a second season.)
