"All of the defining aspects of Minority Report’s future should scan to us as signs of dystopia,” says Eric Thurn. "Instead, they’re basically reflections of the way the world is now, complete with incessant, hallucinatory marketing, constant surveillance, and shticky, empty music.” PLUS: It’s storyline becomes tedious and morally defanged (http://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/television/2015/09/20/stuck-middle-with-minority-report-limitless/yWziWGhQ6DPajLzWHLlMVO/story.html) by the end of the pilot, it transforms a brainy sci-fi thriller into a generic procedural (http://flavorwire.com/538608/minority-report-transforms-a-brainy-sci-fi-thriller-into-a-generic-crime-procedural), and Minority Report looks fabulous but its characters are underdeveloped (http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-st-review-blindspot-minority-report-20150921-column.html).
