TVN has done it again. The cable channel has been producing shows that are of good quality lately, and they've made a good start with the latest mystery thriller show "Signal".
Signal's pilot episode is sharp, gripping and well written which would keep you on the edge of the seat from start until the finish. It has built its momentum early on, with a deadline that would be reminiscent of the series "24". It starts by tapping on a mysterious cold case from years ago, and the clock starts to click by then. The fate of its characters will be decided at the end. Will they or won't they?
Beneath the surface, the audience will be allowed to take a glimpse on the flaws that can be unearthed of the current police and justice system which may focus on posterity rather than the truth. There are some parallels to the show with an old movie called "Frequency" because just like the film, it gets its investigation leads from conversing with an old detective from the past via ham radio. This may be my only gripe thus so far, but nonetheless it is fictional, and the show is allowed to have cinematic discretion for its own purposes.
This show holds promise and judging from the first episode, we are in for a ride!
