EUReKA is a honestly a fantastic show. Every episode is simultaneously dramatic and serious while still retaining a childlike sense of fun. All of the seemingly impossible problems are backed up with seemingly legitimate scientific reasons. Here's the lowdown.
Sheriff Jack Carter and his angst-ridden teenage daughter Zoey have a small car accident after seeing an odd sight while driving north to Seattle. Coincidentally the town the crash outside of is a town called Eureka. A town, funded by the government and containing nothing but incredible scientists ranging from the slightly enigmatic Henry Deacon to the genius doctor Allison Blake. And from here begins one of the most original and interesting TV shows I have seen in a while... since Doctor Who actually.
The writing for this show is gold, the characters are gold, the setting is gold. I know I will never forget the establishing camera shots of Main Street and the brown interior of the local cafe "Cafe Diem". There is just so much to love about this show! It's so fun to watch and you begin to genuinely care for the characters. I can't share too much about why these characters warrant so much love as that happens in Season 3 to 4. Unfortunately it was cancelled after 5 fantastic seasons. But that leaves no yearning for more episodes, it ends where it feels like it should.
EUReKA makes up part three of my "Trifecta of small Pacific Northwestern towns with secrets that are not immediately apparent". There's just this intriguing feeling I get whenever I see the opening titles of EUReKA (Which are absolutely brilliant) or Gravity Falls (This opening perfectly captures the mystery behind the show) or Twin Peaks (This opening... pure beauty). I can't recommend all 3 of these shows enough!
