"Limitless", a one season show, once aired on cable television is now offered on Netflix.

Limitless is packed with action, humor, and very little romance. The almost hour long episodes are about Brian Finch (Jake Mcdorman), an average guy who feels like he failed in life, until a friend gives him a pill called NZT. This pill gives the ability for any person to use 100 percent of their mind but only for a few hours. NZT is also illegal, because it causes horrible symptoms and eventually results in death.

Brian wants more of this pill after one dose for a valid reason (I will not reveal), so he visits the same friend who offered him the pill. I don’t want to ruin this portion of the first episode, so let me fast forward.

Brian does get more pills, but unfortunately the FBI finds him guilty of a crime he did not do. So Brian escapes and tries to prove he is innocent. Let me fast forward again. Brian is now working for the FBI, because they think he is immune to the side effects of NZT. However, Brian is not immune, but I won’t explain why, because you should watch the show in order to understand it.

Overall, Brian Finch is a consultant with the FBI and he helps solve cases with his handler Rebecca Harris (Jennifer Carpenter). However, there is a twist to it but I will leave that for you to find out.

Here are some scenes to show you how cool this show is:

Finch can create or put together designs/ models in his mind.

Finch learns a lot of languages by hearing each one for a few hours.

Finch knows any equation, any tip, and remembers everything he has ever learned.

Overall, Brian is sneaky, ambitious, and stubborn. Limitless is a good show to watch, you'll be surprised of what you can learn and find out how cool Brian Finch solves many crimes.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
