With the sad news of helix being cancelled - does anyone have any recommendations on alternate series that provides a similar level of quirky fun?

Il y a 3 mois, Je suis alle a Videotron pour aller chercher une nouvelle carte SIM. L'agent m'a dis que le nouveau service Helix etais disponible et que si je m'abonnais, je sauverai environ 20$/mois (130 au lieu de 150). Je signe sans reflechir, content de sauver de l'argent. La 1re facture arrive, il y a un extra 100$ a payer. J'apelle Videotron et ils me disent que c'est les taxes sur le nouvel equipment. Comme je ne m'attendais pas a ce montant, et que je peux avoir la meme chose pour 100$/mois chez Bell, je decide d'apeller pour canceller le service. a mon CHOC, le nouveau contract fait que l'equipement appartiens au client, et que si je voulais quitter Videotron, je devais payer les 500$+ de l'equipement, ils ne viennent pas le chercher. Donc la je suis 'stuck' avec eux pour 2 ans, malgre que je me suis fait avoir. je me sens fourre, on m'a menti et la je suis coince.

FAITE ATTENTION AVANT DE FAIRE LE SWITCH, ils ne vous diront pas ca quand viens le temps de signer, c'est une surprise deguelasse qui surgie plus tard!
A mes yeux, c'est une grosse arnaque et on ne devrai pas laisser ca passer.

Helix has been taken off of Netflix. With this, I now no longer have any way to watch this show. Seeing how it won't get a third season, it's unlikely to ever come back. I posted here 9 months ago in respect to the show, and now I'm gonna do it again, because it really did impress me and I learned to love even the second season. We'll never see Alan Farragut's immortal adventures.

After watching the entire Season 2 it is obvious that Julia was there for a great part of what happeneded and she also is with the others at the hospital in the end. So she should KNOW that the baby isn't at the island anymore and that Michael was locked up in this hole in the ground during everything important that happened there. Why would she be searching for either of those and why would she be so stupid to believe Michael when he said he knew where the baby was?

Just now watched the show, know it is old but maybe someone will still answer here.

Respect for season 1, and the potential of season 2 - if they saved it for later down the line. The biggest missed opportunity are the 8 fucking months of Alan Farragut vs Ilaria. I swear, Billy Campbell is just a star in every single show.

Season 1 was pretty okay, dodgy effects, dodgy acting, bizarre casting choices and plots that get no answers.

But that season 2? Jeez. It's like someone watched Lost and tried to make a dumber and more offensive version of it.

Peter goes from 0 to full whack job in seconds.

Women tied up and just birthing babies.

Baby in a jar... FFS... A baby in a jar..

Bizarre English cannibals in the woods.

A death gas that kills everything and everyone... Unless you shut the doors of an old abbey... Evidently airtight though.

So on and so on

I've made it through thanks to Netflix, if it was a weekly episodic watch I'd have not tuned in after episode 6.

Cameron Porsandeh

His Twitter has been dead since cancellation and the last news article mentioning him is from 2016 and is about him working on some show that never came out. I just love the crazy shit this guy came up with and got people to run with, and I hope he gets to do something wild again.

So I'm on season two episode 6 but still am confused about how the 500 became immortals. Anyone know?

Can someone explain how hatake is 513 but that makes no sense?

Obviously, asking this question in the dedicated subreddit will not give me an impartial answer, but what's your opinion? Why was the show cancelled? Does it end or do i have to expect something like Jericho or Flashforward?

Thank you

So I just started the series and I'm so confused as to why Julia seems to be the victim here even though she cheated on her husband with his brother? How is this even remotely forgivable? Why does Alan seem to still love and respect her? I know you can't just switch off feelings, but at least I would expect all the respect to have vanished. I just find it so ridiculous that when men cheat they're pigs, but when women cheat their men didn't take proper care of him. She is such a glorified main character to which I cannot relate at all and can't sympathise with one bit.

So I ended watching S02E013 and I don't know what happened with Julia Walker.
I know that she did not take the medicine, but she's alive or dead finally ?

Wow. I took a chance on this show on Netflix last week and shotgunned the hell out of it. The first season was good, but that second season was a blast!!! I'm SOOO glad I stuck with it! It has minor issues, but the second season was what really sold me. (Neil Napier was ultra creepy as a bad guy) It's of course a real shame that I have to file this under another fun show that won't get it's time in the spotlight or any more subsequent seasons. I just want to say that I'm now a fan...even though it's too late and they could have used more of us in the beginning. I wish I'd known,

I love you father.

Red Vines mentioned in a Sci-fi show. It always seems to be Twizzlers usually.

The plots were more slapdash than a 'Family Guy' episode, with things like the "August 2015" written on a sword slashed from storylines. Seemed like zombies or whatever would appear for no reason. Or incest. Just seemed out of nowhere like each writer was loosely trying to join some creepy pasta story they wrote together to form a "series." Like who the hell was Peter working for? Why 500 people became immortals? What the H? They could have had an episode with bug-eyed gray X-Files aliens walking around and it wouldn't be out of canon because the whole thing makes no sense.

Seems like fans did a better job ret-conning how the story mashes up than the actual show runners.

That being said, I enjoyed the ideas they slapped at a wall and was willing to wait to see if any of them stuck.

I have been watching season 2 when Michael said about Sarah being an immortal “... that’s not possible, she wasn’t there.” I was wondering what event he was referring to. Madam Durant is roughly 12 and French while Hitoshi Hatake is in his forties and Japanese and Michael was Spanish I believe. This means that it couldn’t have been a place.

Edit: I have a feeling that it has something to do with the Renaissance.

It feels so weird, i dont know shit between season 1 and season 2.. wtf is going on, i hate this bullshit where its just throwing everything into a random time in the future. Wtf was the end of season 1 about (day 235) ? Are they gnna connect everything together or not?

Wut? is it supposed to give off a creepy horror movie vibe or something? Just so out of place, lightens the mood so much, its like mellow shit in a dance club wtf.

Hey,

My girlfriend and I just finished season 1 and started on season 2(2minutes in), it feels like the story is going to be different.

What happened to the board meeting, with Julia there, what happened to hatake and Ilaria corporation. Is season 2 going to continue where season 1 left? Or is it more like american horror story where every season they go to some other virus?

Thanks in advance,

Greetings,

It's fine if you guys respond in weeks or months. It's just it occasionally pops into my head but I sometimes forget the name.

I had my son in Jan 2015, but had to stay home/in bed for a few months, so I had time to watch loads of shows.

12 monkeys really stood out to me, (love but haven't had time to see since season 2 :/ ) and then I'd see helix promoted. It was very interesting, never saw season 1 and I still haven't. It was nice tryna figure out wtf was going on from the past and what it meant for the future scenes.

It was hilarious tho, it was so ridiculous and I would get nervous (I'm a wuss) with certain characters. I think cults just freak me out haha the music and the scenes were hilarious too. Sometimes I'd sit there and wonder if it was serious, or a joke. Like they knew there wasn't going to be a season 3 and said fuckit.

I don't know how to explain it but I think since I never got any closure, it feels empty now. It'll randomly enter my head and I'll wonder what would've been the end.

Glad there are others out there who liked this show kind of :)

Season 1 was good not great, fairly interesting. Season two was a shit show. All the characters are suddenly dumb & make stupid decisions. Like no one would act like this, and their all barely likable.

1. Hitake going mad is possible but unlikely, these are defo not his first kids & for a guy being alive for 500 years he broke pretty easy, just saying. He must have seen a lot of death, the death of his son & wife causing a mental breakdown seem forced

2. Peter is a wasteman, he can die.

3. Alan, is cooler but less likable this season. But the most likable character still

4. Sarah is an idiot in season two, I get a mothers need for her child. But being foolish & fooled by Amy of all people, break the fucking lock to your babies cage don't make her immortal

5. Amy, how she's in charge & stays that way I dunno how. Someone needs to put a bullet in her.

This show had so much potential oh well, rant over

Start of first season was little slow, but after few episodes I was hooked by the mysticism it started gaining. The end of first season escalated into even more mysteries and I was expecting several conclusions to be shown. However the season ended with some drastic changes to the team and the seconds season started with absolutely insane new plot when I was deciding if I even want to continue. Now I am at episode 5. And I stayed just for the sick parts with funky music in background.

Hey guys, I'm looking for german people who watched Helix and loves this?

Greets Dreandor :)

1: really liked it, it wasn't the best tv show i've watched but I couldn't stop watching it. binged it in like 3 days.

2: I got a real 'lost' vibe from the show. (the lost tv show) mostly when I realised that they didnt answer alot of questions or didn't go back.

3: I missed the arctic but an island was the next best choice, I was expecting season 2 to be like the movie taken where allan goes looking for julia for the whole season so I liked the direction it took.

4:season 2, what the fuck? like the show became less 'scary and more wtf' meaning babies in jars,toothless sisters,dead bodies as dinner guests,incest..etc

5: I wished they explored more of ilaria corp and the origins of the immortals.

6: all through seas 2 and 2 was it just me but when ever some one is alone or looking for someone else the character finds nothing and and turns around and pop the danger thing is there, it became so much I just started laughing when the boy was taken, lol no eyed.

7: I wished they wrapped up the loose ends or had another season :(

Yeah, I can totally see why the show was cancelled. And yet... When I came back from work today it really set in that I have no more episodes of Helix to watch, and I actually started to miss it already which is weird for me. Crazy thing is, I can't even really explain why or what it is exactly that I miss. Certainly not the writing. Not even the characters, really. There's just... Something about it that I can't quite articulate but wish there was more of.
