June 27, 2014
Has one of the most compelling and confident openings since Battlestar Galactica, but goes hilariously off the rails around the mid-season mark.

There's definitely some fraying at the edges along with all of those odd fluids oozing from various orifices of the afflicted.
January 09, 2014
It's not too geeky a story, so someone who just likes suspense drama can follow it.
January 15, 2014
Helix is initially involving, but it gradually loses energy as we realize we have a long slog ahead before all the secrets are revealed and the plot resolved.
January 07, 2014
It is thoroughly creepy and made even more so by upbeat counterpoints like a sound system playing Dionne Warwick's "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" over and over.

Medical horror is too scary for tweens, sensitive teens.

It's a delicate balancing act, but the premiere dangles enough DNA strands for a discerning audience to want to see where they might lead.

You like this kind of thing or you don't, and I don't, particularly, but Helix is very involving, giving us characters to care about even in the midst of so much necessary setup.
January 06, 2014
If Helix continues to build on the momentum set in its first few hours, we're in for a truly suspenseful and thrilling ride.
