TV Review: NUMB3RS
One of the great things about the writer’s strike was with no new episodes airing, I found the time to watch repeats of shows I had heard good things about but never had a chance to try. While REAPER is a winner that I also recommend everyone try for its humor, NUMB3RS has been the real treat. While some character plots continue from ep to ep, the storyline is “done in one”, as in you can sit down and watch a single episode from anywhere in the show’s four (?) year run and when the hour is up - you have been told a complete tale. And I love that, especially having just now discovered the show. So I’m not lost at all despite starting late. Sure there are things I’ve mossed but I’m not missing them as I sit and watch an episode, if you catch my drift. The actors are great, the storylines are complex and I love the “math” thrown around that they use to solve their cases. (I really hope it’s all fact-based cause it’s very cool hearing the technical explanations.) Executive producers are the brothers Ridley (Alien, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down) and Tony (Top Gun, True Romance, The Last Boy Scout) Scott. Highly recommend you try this series out… even if its only a rerun.
