pushThe plot is pretty straight forward: There are many people all over the world with super natural abilities. The government has created a secret organization called “Division” who want to turn these people with special abiliteis into weapons. They have create a drug that will enhance the person’s abilities and make them even more powerful. One of the subject escapes with the only know “working” syringe of this drug.

Now, the abilities of these people are not your typical super hero abilities. Their abilities are very unique and they have been categoriezed into groups:

  • Watcher can see the future
  • Movers have telekinesis
  • Pushers can put thoughts and beliefs into peoples minds
  • Shadows can hide things from others. They can hide things from the sniffers, but not from the watchers.
  • Stitches use touch to heal or hurt
  • Screamers are a little crazy. They can scream so loud it will either blow things up or cause people to bleed out their ears and die.
  • Sniffers are a little like dogs. They can use their sense of smell to track people.

So, as you might guess from the long list of people, the show can get a little confusing. I thought that it was a good show but could have been even better as a series. There was not enough time to full develop any of the characters, and even by the end, I was still confused as to exactly why people had chosen the sides that they had, and why some of the people with special abilities had chosen to work for Division.

Overall, it was a good popcorn move, but don’t expect to be blown away.
