The Technomancy Project

A fresh and fun take on a genre that some have described as part X-Files, part Sanctuary, part Warehouse 13 and part Indiana Jones with a nod to other favorites. You can’t help but fall in love with the exploits and angsty relationships of the team, as they battle threats to humanity. If you’re a fan of intelligent, dripping sarcasm, you’ll absolutely fall in love with the resident genius character Allie. Every episode brings a new twist. Enjoy being immersed in the unknown.

Every inch of the Technomancy Project is solid and it makes for a very satisfying listen. There’s a nice variety to the monster-of-the-week plots: haunted house, aliens, demon possession, workplace audit, etc. and the show is adept at bringing in the humor and the horror when it is called for. Also, the little bits of continuity from episode to episode snowball into an intriguing season ending. The character dynamics are stellar. Elijah and Allie are both tunnel visioned egotists who don’t need much excuse to destroy a person’s soul or gamble with their colleagues’ lives. Given the stakes, they’re not being completely callous, but neither person would weep over collateral damage. So, it is so important that Jason, with his conscience and his empathy, calls them out. I like that the script doesn’t try and oversell the character growth in this trifecta. If Elijah is convinced to be less trigger happy, it’s not because he wants to be a better person, but because he can concede that not every problem is a nail in need of a hammer. If Allie learns to see her colleagues as more than just a means to an end, it’s because she and Jason develop a rapport through playing pranks on others. By season’s end, the show has earned the emotional glue between these three workplace proximity associates.
