It's two moody-cop procedurals for the price of one, with deeply felt emotion in the performances. [7 Oct 2016, p.51] Read full review

Frank and Raimy are co-authors of their own personal histories. How they write it together, or mess it up together, could make an intriguing cop procedural. Read full review

The producers and creator Jeremy Carver have deftly retrofitted a familiar film for the small screen with smart present-day touches and solid performances. Read full review

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. Read full review

Frequency is a much smaller story [than NBC's Timeless]: a daughter trying to save her father without endangering everyone else around them. It's a good story, but in essence, it feels very much like a movie story--which is exactly what it was. Whether it can work as a TV story, only time will tell. Read full review

Those familiar with the source material will recognize the pilot is essentially the first two-thirds of the film. Some convincing performances from Smith and List get Frequency humming. But that’s just not enough buzz. Read full review

Meredith Blake

It is an unabashedly hokey affair with an inherently seductive premise. The problem is that Frequency is too generic to make the sentiment work. Read full review

This is a wonderfully remade television series based off a great movie. It was very smart of the writers to take away from the "comparing" of the main characters by changing the gender.

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.… Expand

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. ForI 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!!!… Expand
