A young woman is recruited into a secret government agency to be 'stitched' into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders.
Stitchers oscillates between embracing the premise's inherent campiness or eschewing it in favor of a more intense quasi-realism. There are other inconsistencies as well. Some of the visual effects are creepy and effective; others are laughable.
It seems more likely that little thought has gone into the series, which harks back to the days when basic cable was a safe haven for mediocrity. The dialogue and action are fast enough to keep viewers distracted, but Stitchers is less than entertaining.
Most viewers, however, will likely feel [the passage of time] acutely while wading through this tired and predictable hour, which centers on a secret program that hacks into the brains of the recently deceased to solve crimes.
Mostly "Stitchers" is a ho-hum procedural with an unlikeably emotionless lead character with daddy issues and the promise of hanky-panky with a not-nerdy scientist, so, hooray?
Fringe meets iZombie for a meaningless summer hookup. Result: Stitchers, an ABC Family series so tonally ambivalent - satire or sincere? - that it winds up playing more as an audition tape for its various stars than an actual show.
