New This Week

“Alphas”

Did “The Cape” and “No Ordinary Family” not satisfy your craving for post-“Heroes” superhero TV adventure?

A new Syfy hourlong from screenwriters Zak Penn (“Elektra,” “Fantastic Four,” “Incredible Hulk,” “X-Men: The Last Stand”) and Michael Karnow (“House of Buggin’”), “Alphas” stars David Strathairn (“Good Night, And Good Luck”) as a scientist who brings together humans with superpowers:

* Malik Yoba (“New York Undercover”) plays Bill Harken, an FBI agent who uses adrenaline to give himself increased strength, speed and immunity from pain.

* Laura Mennell (“Watchmen”) plays Nina Theroux, who’s so hot she can seduce people into doing her bidding.

* Azita Ghanizada (“General Hospital”) plays Rachel Pirzad, who can increase any of her basic senses at the expense of the others.

* Ryan Cartwright (“Mad Men”) plays Gary Bell, an autistic savant who can watch TV without a TV and listen to cell phone transmissions without a cell phone.

* Warren Christie (“Happy”) plays Cameron Hicks, whose mind is unusually well connected to his body.

It feels even more like X-Men than even the very X-Men-like “Heroes,” and its pilot is better than those offered by ABC’s “No Ordinary Family” and NBC’s “The Cape.”

While I can’t say I found any of the “Alphas” characters terribly compelling or the superpowers credible, the pilot at least is paced well enough to stem boredom.

I think my favorite thing here is the quirky performance from “Battlestar Galactica” vet Callum Keith Rennie, who plays the disdainful Pentagon official who oversees Rosen’s Alphas project.

Speaking of Rennie, I say if we exclude anything Cylon-related, “Alphas” is the best Syfy pilot in some time. So it’s stronger than “Eureka,” “Haven,” “Warehouse 13” and “Sanctuary” if that’s any measure.
