Stitchers S1-3

Government operative Kristen (Emma Ishta) joins a covert organisation that lets agents investigate murders by being plugged into a “memory bed” and being sent into the victim’s memories. The person being “stitched” into the murder victim’s mind sees and feels the death, then comes back to arrest the perp.

As far as sci-fi action shows go, Stitchers is awesome. The cast of relative unknowns deliver solid performances and the CGI is cool. You really feel like you’re in the future where this is possible. There’s even a bit of romance amid all the hunting down of the baddies.

It’s a pretty nifty series, says Allison Keene from Collider.com: “Stitchers quickly settles itself into a Case of the Week procedural, where the Stitchers Program goes about solving crimes and making the world a better place by invasively rummaging around through the grey matter of the dead. Or something like that.”
