Stitchers (2015-present)

A young woman is recruited into a secret government agency to be "stitched" into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders.

So I watched the preview for this show about a hundred times and still had no idea what this show was about. Even the blurb is vague. After watching the pilot here's what I've gathered:

-Kirsten is a PhD student
-Kirsten has temporal dysplasia
-Kirsten doesn't get along with her roommate
-Kirsten has temporal dysplasia
-The government hires college students to do underground research based on the memories of murder victims
-Kirsten has temporal dysplasia
-Only someone with temporal dysplasia can be successfully 'stitched' into the memories of a dead person... because temporal dysplasia

So in short, WTF?!? The episode wasn't bad action-wise and all the actors seemed to be really into it but I still have no idea what's really going on. And for God's sake, what is temporal dysplasia!?!?!?

After some extensive Googling this is what I've found:  temporal dysplasia is NOT real but it is a condition where a person cannot judge the passage of time, so minutes feel as long as hours which feel as long as days and years, etc. And because of this Kirsten doesn't have any emotions...which I don't understand. Sure maybe she doesn't feel sunshine and lollipops all the time but still NO emotions?? I feel like that has more to do with her upbringing than anything else. The pilot alludes to-or may bring up point blank (I was too focused on temporal dysplasia)-dead parents, or at least a dead father which can mess any girl up emotionally.

Overall, I'll probably give this show a few episodes to get on its feet before totally ditching it for good. The jury's still out on this one.

UPDATE:  I'm officially done with this show. The plot didn't thicken, even after 4 episodes. The secrets that were exposed were not at all earth shattering like they were set up to be. *spoiler* the roommate was a part of the agency all along!!

And Kirsten definitely has emotions now but no one will acknowledge them. She clearly felt sad when one of the victims was murdered and happy when the guy from the agency's lab wanted to hang out with her. I understand it's hard for the actress to be completely indifferent but they could have re-shot a few scenes where it was clear she was emotional.

On top of everything I can't even remember any of the character names besides Kirsten. So that makes everything confusing and uninteresting. Try harder ABC Family, I expected more than this.
