Residue (2015)


Kind of just ends, although I did like the backstory of the 3 episodes. Per this link indiewire.com/article/how-to-sell-a-tv-show-to-20150401 I learned that Residue is a pilot of a show that independent producers are trying to sell to this streaming service. SO N-EXECS PLEASE ORDER A SEASON+ OF THIS SHOW. SPOILER (not sure if this qualifies as this is only a 3-part pilot) The substance the the victims were overloaded with is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland which triggers the "fight or flight response". My guess is the victims who committed suicide or murder had either naturally low serotonin levels (the suicides) or naturally high stress hormones (the murderers) before exposure. This made them attractive to the black goo (which maybe originated on a meteor being worked on in a secret underground lab?) which seems to be able to mimic human shape. The photographer with her abilities to concentrate and not easily be distracted by fear or the unknown was able escape contamination. Oh well, who knows this is all conjecture. Anyway this is an exciting and involving pilot. Worth watching if you don't mind cliff-hangers which may last forever.So...PLEASE ORDER A SEASON+ OF THIS SHOW.
