Alphas was an interesting show in season 1. It had a great cast of characters and some interesting stories. I was curious whether or not it could keep up the quality in season 2. So, let’s check out the season premiere of season 2 and see what’s going on.

Three Inches – A Failed Pilot Review
With little to no promotion and pretty much no information about it, Syfy threw up a pilot for the show Three Inches. The show was originally ordered in early 2010, but it seemed to languish in development hell for awhile. Then, when Syfy moved forward with Alphas, they decided to see if they could make Three Inches seem more different. That failed and the show was shut down.

And it’s probably good it didn’t move forward. Read on to see why.

Alphas TV show review
Every year, the networks roll out some new superhero shows to see if they can catch fire like Heroes season 1 did. This past season we had No Ordinary Family and The Cape. Both had promise and both severely underwhelmed critically and with audiences. As Smallville rounds to a close, we are left with no superhero shows on TV. Into this void comes Syfy’s Alphas. So, let’s take a look at the show and see if it’s worthwhile.
