Review of Eureka

Eureka (2006– )
Good Sci-Fi Can Be Fun Too...
30 July 2011
I want to live in Eureka, specifically in the Sheriff's home, however, since I can't I certainly enjoy watching Eureka.

What an engaging show Eureka is. It is family science fiction entertainment that is pure enjoyment. A lot of the charm of this "Alternative Ultra-Fringe Science" town is not just the idyllic setting, but the engaging characters who inhabit it. Add to that the wacky, but somewhat based in real scientific fringe science research gone wild premise, and you have something that comes up much more original than a milk toast redux. I have to credit the writers as being truly inspired. Yes, the writers developed great characters who the viewer can "latch" on to and then have proceeded to put lots of delicious "meat-on-the-bone" story lines to hand the whole premise on. What could turn out as pure fluff rises to be much more interesting while delivering outright entertainment thats fun to watch each week. The show actually keeps getting better which I imagine is no easy task excepting the seemingly unbridled nature of those involved to deliver ultimate science fiction made palatable.

I usually enjoy the dark sci-fi we are so accustom to, but for a break I find this fills the bill in spades. So, if this sounds like something you have hungered for, by all means jump in. I didn't find this until it was well past the first season and I am having fun catching up! Try it you'll like it!
