Alphas
“Super. And all too human.”
Creator
Zak Penn
Five people whose neurological quirks give them extraordinary abilities — enhanced senses, reflexes, persuasion — are recruited by a government-linked team to hunt down others whose own powers have turned dangerous. Rather than glossy superheroics, the show grounds its abilities in a clinical, almost medical logic, treating its characters as much like patients as agents. Its morally murky backdrop and strong ensemble made it a genre favorite before an early cancellation cut it short.
