I've read a lot of reviews, hoping to understand how or why this series was rated a very decent 7.5/10. I've surmised that those that endured the entire first season must either be feministic types or really not have options for other quality programs. I really gave it a chance watching 5 episodes and after a good start it simply crawled and crawled. It's just not truly worth the time, when something more entertaining can be found.
It could just be taste related. I personally wanted sci-fi and more focus on the teleporting. More action, more excitement, more suspense, and it never delivered. To all those saying, "Give it a chance", I certainly did. I'll have to agree with a lot of the reviews. I mean the show is "okay", but you don't just go around handing out 8/10 or 10/10's. I'm looking for true 8/10's to watch.
Like I've read, if you enjoy the "after school special" - "Lifetime Original" variety, I suppose this is for you. If you enjoy Action, Sci-fi, or the elite Dramadies and Crime shows of television, a la "Shameless", "Suits", "The Americans", "Snowfall", "Narcos", "The Crossing", "Banshee", "The Handmaid's Tale", "Deadly Class", or even "Manifest", "The 100", or "Wayward Pines", then IMPULSE will leave you wanting. The intrigue fades really fast. Normally I can decide in less than 5 episodes and I RARELY get duped. For me, if the teleporting is omitted or downplayed to the point it was, I'll just wait for the new "The Boys" anti-superhero series to be dropped. Or maybe I'll give "Into the Badlands", "The Deuce", "Star Trek: Discovery", or even "Southland" a shot.
