Limitless (2015)

Limitless (2015) — Overview Limitless follows Brian Finch, a likable but directionless thirty-something who discovers NZT, a drug that unlocks the full potential of his brain. Hired as a consultant by the FBI, Brian uses razor-sharp instincts, encyclopedic recall and lightning-fast pattern recognition to crack difficult cases — even as the drug’s benefits bring dangerous side effects, addiction risks and powerful enemies. Watching the show feels like a smart, fast-paced procedural with a sci-fi twist: expect clever one-off mysteries alongside an ongoing, darker story about power, control and the cost of shortcut genius. The series blends brisk humor, tense crime-solving, stylish visual cues to represent Brian’s enhanced cognition, and emotional moments as he wrestles with ethics and personal consequence. Fans will enjoy energetic performances, recurring surprises (including connections to the film version) and a mix of episodic satisfaction and serialized stakes that keep the tension high.
