12 Monkeys
12 MONKEYS
PREMIERE DATE : Friday, Jan. 16 at 9/8c (Syfy)
WHAT’S IT ABOUT?: A man (Nikita‘s Aaron Stanford) is sent from the post-apocalyptic future to stop a deadly virus from destroying all human life. Along the way, he enlists the help of a current-day scientist (Suits‘ Amanda Schull).
WHY WE LIKE IT: Although it’s inspired by the 1995 film of the same name, the Syfy adaptation stands on its own with an intricate, well-established mythology, plenty of creepy mystery and a compelling partnership between Standford and Schull’s characters.
