I just finished watching the pilot for J.J. Abram's new show, Fringe, which was intentionally leaked to bittorrent sites for download. I'm not going to link it here, but you can find it without too much effort. It's very much an Abram's work (think Lost or Alias), but it does have some Shadowrun-esque elements. The pilot episode starts off a mysterious story involving an all-powerful megacorporation (which builds everything from ubiquitous satellite TV dishes to cybernetic limbs) and features flesh-dissolving bioweapons and brainhacking via LSD and electrical probes.
I found it to be an interesting show, probably worth checking out if you've liked any of Abram's other work. And I'm all for more tv shows with Shadowrun-esque storylines. |
