The Tomorrow People (US) - Episode 4 REVIEW
The Tomorrow People has been an interesting series to review,
with characters developing each and every episode. After a story focussed on
Cara, it seems only right for the next one to be focussed on John.
With yet another opening set in the past, the episode opens
with a young John as he is recruited by Jedakiah for a new programme of Ultra’s.
Meanwhile, in the present an old friend of John’s (and former employee of Ultra’s)
has returned to seek vengeance against his former friend and Jedakiah. As the
episode develops, more and more information is leaked out as to what exactly
happened between the three characters.
The title of the episode is ‘Kill or Be Killed’, and that is
essentially the story line. McCrane (John’s friend) is able to kill after being
experimented on by Ultra, and by the end, we also learn that another member of
the Tomorrow People was the same as well.
It’s a concept that the series has been hinting at since
Episode 1, and it works very well in this episode. While it would be nice to
see how John and Cara met at some point, I feel that this episode was a
necessity if the series wanted to remain intriguing. It’s a great story, but it
feels very dark and brooding, so the future of the series is going to be
fascinating to explore. 9/10
