Based on the 2011 blockbuster film by
the same name, Bradley Cooper starrer Limitless is one of the most
anticipated crime-drama shows of 2015. With an impressive rating of 8
out of 10 on IMDB, this critically acclaimed show features Jake McDorman
and Jennifer Carpenter as the leads and is produced by Academy Award
winner Bradley Cooper himself who also continues his role from the
movie. In the show, protagonist Brian Finch (Jake McDorman) discovers
the brain-boosting power of the mysterious drug NZT. He is then forced
by the FBI into using his extraordinary cognitive abilities to solve
complex cases for them. The show has been very well received in the U.S.
and across the globe, with its premiere episode being viewed by over
17.6 million people in the first 2 weeks of its release in the USA.
In India, Limitless premieres on 21st November, and can be watched every Saturday at 11pm only on AXN.
After adding to the thrill quotient of
Saturdays, the latest season of Elementary is all set to make Sunday
television viewing even more exciting. Starring Jonny Lee Miller as
detective Sherlock Holmes and Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson, Elementary is
the modern-day drama about a crime-solving duo that cracks NYPD’s most
impossible cases. Elementary Season 3 finale left things in a fairly
dark place for Sherlock & Watson. Now, in Season 4, Holmes and
Watson must rely upon one another to rebuild their lives,
notwithstanding the untimely return of Sherlock’s estranged but wealthy
father, Morland Holmes (John Noble).
Catch Elementary Season 4 on Sunday 22nd November at 10PM only on AXN.
