Stitchers is cute and so slight in dramatic gravitas that it floats away into the ether.
Even though its premiere suggest both campy sci-fi scenes and creepy murder mysteries, Stitchers is as lifeless as the corpses Kirsten explores. [29 May/5 Jun 2015, p.100]
The audience is expected somehow to understand the range of her abilities, but sorry; we need more clues. That, and a reason to care.
It’s difficult to tell if this flawed system of telling-not-showing is simply bad writing and storytelling, or if it’s a result of trying to dumb the show down for a teen audience.
It's all completely ridiculous and derivative, which Schechter is quick to acknowledge. Indeed, the second-best thing about "Stitchers" is its game if not quite successful attempt to straddle sci-fi and sci-fi satire.... The first-best thing about the show is its cast, who all show promise far beyond the limits of their roles here.
There are a few lighter moments here and there--including some played for laughs that seem like they'd play better if they were serious, including the first time Kirsten gets stitched--but mostly Stitchers is a ho-hum procedural with an unlikeably emotionless lead character with daddy issues and the promise of hanky-panky with a not-nerdy scientist
After the first two episodes, the series looks less like a part of that collection, and more like a factory-made knockoff stitched together from pieces of other shows.
