The 8 Biggest Hits and Misses of the Fall TV Season7 of 9
Miss — "Minority Report"
In contrast, FOX's take on the film "Minority Report" has been rejected by a majority of viewers. The third episode fell to a dismal 0.7 rating among adults 18 to 49, down from an already low 0.9 the prior week.
With Steven Spielberg as an executive producer and the creative potential of a show set in a universe where thoughts were crimes, expectations were high.
Unfortunately, the series transformed the film's central premise that arresting people merely for contemplating doing something wrong was justified into a routine procedural about psychics' helping the police. That formula has proven to be too bland for the edgier FOX audience.
