Much better than I expected
This movie reminded me of the Andromeda Strain, and the Thing. The budget is really big. Some people didn't like the long drawn subplot, but I am fine with it. It has a very odd theme music and from time to time, Dionne Warwick's songs can be heard in the show. (This brought back a lot of memories!) Without giving the plot away, three scientists/physicians from the Center of Disease Control go to a well funded private science research station somewhere near the North Pole after something went wrong and a few people died. I watched it on Netflix originally, and wanted to get myself a copy of the DVDs for my own collection. I tried to stretch it out by watching one episode per day! If you like sci-fi mixed with medicine thrown in with a bunch of good-looking actors, this could be for you. Can't wait until the 2nd season.

More Than Just SyFy's Best
SyFy is known mostly nowadays for having movies so terrible they're fun, i.e. Sharknado. Which is unfortunate cause it sometimes overshadows the good work they do. I'm not saying all their shows are good. However, this one really is. Helix is a great mix of Outbreak, John Carpenter's: The Thing, 28 Days Later, and Resident Evil. Lots of great twists and turns as the season progresses. Every couple of episodes you change your mind on who you like or what side you think they're on. I watched this series when it aired. But I just knew my wife would like it. When we sat down the weekend we bought it we couldn't shut it off! At least until I had to get up to change the discs. Then I had to convince her that we REALLY needed to get out of bed and get some stuff done. It's that good, you won't want to turn it off. And it's one of those series that when it's over you'll want to watch it all again and see what you missed the first time around. Highly recommend and can't wait for season 2!!!

GREAT-MUST HAVE TV Show
I can't not say enough great things about this show. The plot, acting, episode cliffhangers, wow....I highly recommend this show. There is some drama/mystery, thriller, sci-fi, and just a slight bit of horror mixed in. It will keep you on the edge of your seat & anxious for season 2!
