currently it's a 'toss-up' between cancellation and renewal
American ratings are very bizarre. Sometimes they cancel a show which is quite easy to follow, but renew a "complicated" series which most American viewers would find difficult to follow (Once Upon A Time, for example, how many Yanks actually know all this fairytale stuff???)

Once Upon A Time's US ratings are better - 6.4m vs only 1.44 m for this show
i watched half of this before i fell asleep but even getting to the halfway point was a bit of a chore. i'll watch the rest of it tomorrow but it honestly didn't have anything that grabbed me enough to keep it on series link.
No one else has mentioned the connection with Star Trek so far...
... or Home and Away.
Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
The Tomorrow People was good back in the 1970s because it was something a bit different from other TV shows. Teleportation, telepathy & telekinesis seem to turn up all over the place these days.
Watched the rest of it. It got slightly interesting when it was revealed he was essentially the "chosen one" because he could use his powers in the power-proof building but when it got to the part where he wanted to find his dad and joined the bad guy's company, I really just couldn't help but think "Meh"
It really was a bland start and will really have to do something different to really escape the generic mould.
Yes. So far I'm reminded of Dark Angel, Heroes and Alphas... but I'm sure it'll get better once the characters find their feet in my imagination. As it were. Well, I hope it will get better...
Jedikiah was also the name of a recurring villain from the original British series and I'm assuming his surname of Price is a nod to Roger Price the creator of that show
Just watched the first episode and loved it, my type of show. I shouldn't get too attach though, Americans have a habit of making good shows and then cancelling them.
It was good. And supposedly it gets much better. The way people were talking about the show it had to be the worst show ever, but it was actually good. Exactly our (my family) type of show. CW is showing most other networks up with the amount of scifi/fantasy they now make.

I wouldn't call it the worst show ever, just one that's incredibly bland - though maybe it (as has been suggested) kicks things up a notch after the first few eps which is all I gave it.

Yes it's not bad.
TOTAL RECALL 2070 was better than this!!!!!

I thought it was quite promising and I'll stick with it for now. No one else has mentioned the connection with Star Trek so far...
some bits remind me of the Matrix too
But TTP is on the CW channel = the "baby" network, after the 3 biggies and Fox. OUAT is on ABC, one of the big 3.
that didn't stop CW's Arrow beating bigger networks in the same timeslot
CW has also announced that TTP will be moved to the less busy Monday nights, losing its valuable Arrow lead-in timeslot to a new drama
not an encouraging sign
We have the bad guys in the blacked out SUVs
