A sequel to the 2011 film, Limitless starred Jake McDorman and Jennifer Carpenter as a slacker who gains access to a superdrug that gives him full use of his brain and the FBI agent assigned to protect/exploit him.  Bradley Cooper, who starred in the film, was an executive producer and reprised his role a few times, but it wasn’t enough to get CBS to give the show a shot at a second season.

While adhering to the CBS procedural handbook, the show did take some liberties and occasionally broke out as a weird science fiction show.  While it wasn’t a great show by any stretch of the imagination, it was one that I usually looked forward to most weeks.  Honestly, I was surprised that it didn’t get renewed.  But, it didn’t fit the typical CBS demographic and that usually ends badly for bubble shows.
