Stitchers (2015–2017)
6/10
ok sci-fi deteriorates
18 January 2018
College student Kirsten Clark (Emma Ishta) suffers from temporal dysplasia, an inability to sense the passage of time. She is recruited into the highly secret government Stitcher program. It is an experimental machine used to tap into the memories of the recently deceased. Maggie Baptiste is the leader and Cameron Goodkin is the leading scientist. Kirsten's roommate Camille Engelson is revealed to be monitoring her for the program before she was recruited. Kirsten's dead father is revealed to be connected to the Stitcher program.

Emma Ishta is not that good as an actress. That's why her social awkwardness with the temporal dysplasia is so helpful. She actually fits her character. The show suffers after her normalization. The sci-fi premise is ok and the stitching is not the most compelling aspect of the show. I guess a wet Emma injects some sexiness but it's all a little cheap. Allison Scagliotti provides good sass but it's not always maximized. The start is acceptable level of TV sci-fi but the show deteriorates over its three year run.
