It's two moody-cop procedurals for the price of one, with deeply felt emotion in the performances. [7 Oct 2016, p.51]
Skillfully shot, with a slick concept and a strong cast, I was eager to see what happened next after viewing the premiere.

I love the new show "frequency"! CW is finally stepping it up, this is a great adult drama (with a little comedy sneaking in now and then) that does not have anything to do with vampires or zombies! It is adult situations with possible events that could and has happen to real people. For instance, a crappy dad, a single mom, and a good looking, successful boyfriend, and a sexy Aussie accent. OK maybe not the boyfriend, but catch my drift. All this with a twist of SYFY mystery added. I think that eventually something really mysterious is going to surface about that old two way radio that is a focal point of the entire show. Please lord don't let the powers of being "F" up and cancel this great show. It has such great potential. Thanks for listening STORM4950 hope we get to see more and/or more shows like it. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm burned out on Vampires and Zombies!!!

SEASON 1
This is a wonderfully remade television series based **** movie. It was very smart of the writers to take away from the "comparing" of the main characters by changing the gender. While it has it subtle twists that they have made an easy, believable, and smooth transition through, they've given the characters their own feel by making the father Frank into a whole new character from the original.
It draws you in and you find yourself sitting at the edge of your seat pushing buttons just to find out when the next episode will be on because you can't wait. That's how I can always tell I've found a show worth watching. I look forward to seeing where they go after they've past the "movie" portion. Based on what I've seen from the changes made I think the writers will do a good job.

SEASON 1
The Dennis Quaid-Jim Caviezel movie has been reimagined as a story about a police detective (Peyton List, Blood & Oil) who's trying to save her long-dead father (Riley Smith, Nashville), and it packs the emotional punch of the original.
Frequency’s concept was mildly intriguing in theaters, and it’s mildly intriguing now, even with an extra layer or two of mushy TV-style goop on top of the story’s basic hokeyness. List and the other cast members give convincing enough performances.
List is earnest in her role, and manages to make the stranger aspects of the show’s time travel and inter-dimensional plot points feel grounded.
The movie wasn't that great. It was just sort of OK. The series seems to be in pretty much the same territory.
It is an unabashedly hokey affair with an inherently seductive premise. The problem is that Frequency is too generic to make the sentiment work.
That's too bad it got cancelled; it got me **** you got the chance to change your life would you? It kind of made you think about it while being engaged with the characters. I was hoping for a season 2 but I guess that wasn't meant to be.

SEASON 1
This show kind of lost me after a cop approaches a suspect in a parked vehicle, gun and badge out, on foot. So the suspect drives off. Great police work. Here's some advice, get an ex-cop on the payroll to advise against unintelligent plot points like this. On the positive side, the lead female character is very good.

SEASON 1
Great premise/scifi beginning (liked the potential), really good acting, but the STORYLINE and developing scenarios is just NOT believable. Poor, in fact.
If you have a direct connection to past and future 'you' and you don't take advantage of the circumstances to make your life better? While you are in a basically dangerous and dead-end job as a POLICE Officer? Seriously?
Wouldn't you take advantage of the lottery/investing/etc? Seriously? You are going to do a crappy job and try to 'save' the world without using the very resources you have at hand. Just not believable, unless the story incorporated elements that prevented that from happening. 'Some people' forgetting things while others don't isn't believable. If I had a direct connection to the past I would be on that darn radio nonstop recording everything both ways to fill a thousand devices (whatever the time period had) with information, knowing that it would soon end. These people treated it as some sort of perpetual magical gateway with sporatic communications. ****.believable.
I watched 4-5 of the episodes, knew exactly what was coming and basically went to the last episode of season 1 to confirm that nothing good happens, and no one is treating the knowledge properly. Basically confirms - poor writing - stringing out the details to simply make more shows, etc.
Will not be watching season 2, if it even comes out. Too many good potential shows to watch this drivel further.
