This is probably not a bad idea for CBS. Rotten Tomatoes reports that 70% of critics gave the movie a positive review. “Although its script is uneven, Neil Burger directs Limitless with plenty of visual panache, and Bradley Cooper makes for a charismatic star.” If Neil Burger is back to direct the TV series, then the show has a good chance at succeeding.
