Emergence - Season 1
It is a series of mysterious dramatic events that tell a sheriff. She is a woman who takes a young child who finds him near a mysterious accident site where the child does not seem to remember exactly what happened. It seems that an investigation into this case will draw that woman into a larger conspiracy than she imagined, and the identity of the child is among those things.

Maybe you've heard, but there's a lot of TV out there, and to play the long game with a mystery-box network show just seems like the wrong way to go.

Tolman's performance is the best reason to keep watching - I hope her character can solve it soon. Network TV watchers are a lot more impatient than they used to be.

A shame this wasn't really set on the Island, but the decent "Stranger Things"-loving pilot offers a reasonable approximation.

Good to see Alison Tolman back in a police uniform, though this new mystery series isn't nearly as strong as Fargo.

This isn't "Fargo," it's not "Lost," but better than ripping off either of those shows, "Emergence" might just be good.

The pilot episode effectively sets up the mystery, while piling on new twists, building to suspenseful set pieces and more revelations about Piper's otherness. Even so, I can see why NBC, which developed the series, passed on it.

Tolman finds emotional, subtle beats that lesser actresses would miss.

Time will tell if Emergence can forge its own path in terms of story, but in terms of characters, it's already something special and I think audiences should give it a chance.

ABC's Emergence looks like it could be a winning proposition. And even if the suspense and premise begin to sag, there's always Allison Tolman to keep hope alive.
September 24, 2019
I don't exactly care what the "solution" or "twist" is in Emergence... Instead, I somewhat care about the main characters, which I don't think I've felt for an ABC sci-fi series since Lost. We'll see how long that lasts.
