The show's pilot, directed by The Amazing Spider-Man's Marc Webb, plays with a few stylish flourishes, particularly at the beginning as viewers are introduced to Brian’s life, as well as in the differences on and off of NZT (adjusting color saturation, etc). There is an overarching plot about the mystery of where NZT comes from, and how it might affect the future of humanity (almost everybody seems to be on it, or knows someone who is), but Limitless seems like it will focus more on Brian’s crime-solving abilities than any of these more far-reaching plots
Rebecca convinces her FBI superiors to let her act as Brian’s handler, where the bureau can use his abilities while on NZT (as he is immune to the side effects, thanks to Morra) to solve crimes. And just when it seems that NZT might be too good to be true, Eddie Morra (Cooper, who will have a small recurring role) arrives to let Brian know it’s ok, he’s found a way to make it all work out.įrom there, Limitless sets up a perfectly bog-standard procedural premise. Her role, unfortunately, is that of a Watson, existing only to pose questions to the maverick man and ask him to explain things. He happens to be at immediate odds with an FBI agent, Rebecca Harris ( Dexter’s Jennifer Carpenter), with whom he instantly bonds and is able to easily manipulate.
He has an immediate mastery of it and his surroundings, and becomes Holmesian in his snap judgements backed by keen observation and deductive reasoning. Like NZT, Limitless makes things incredibly easy for Brian.
