"The Tomorrow People" premiere episode on Oct. 9 kicked off The CW's much-hyped "Amell Wednesdays" programming. Robbie Amell, cousin of "Arrow" lead Stephen Amell, enjoys the spotlight as a "Homo superior" in the Sci-Fi series. The back-to-back 2013 shows fared quite well in the U.S. ratings a week ago.

'The Tomorrow People' (CW) Review: Is It Good or Bad?

Those who enjoyed "Alphas" on Syfy and "Heroes" on NBC might find The Tomorrow People intriguing, to say the least. It is a remake of a British series in the '70s. All core characters can do the same super human tricks - except one of them appear to be more powerful.

As Stephen Jameson, Robbie Amell discovers he's a "Homo superior" in the process of "breaking out." Stephen ties himself to his bedpost, so he won't "sleepwalk" at night. It turns out he's been teleporting in his sleep. Other Homo superiors are offering him their help, but Stephen has other things in mind.

The story flows along smoothly, hardly dragging or feeble in terms of sequences and character exposure. Visual effects look decent, too. Luke Mitchell, Peyton List, and Aaron Yoo are the three other core characters. But they're not the only "Tomorrow People." As if responding to the raised brows over such an awkward title, Peyton's Cara says they didn't choose their name.

Luke Mitchell vs Mark Pellegrino; Good Super Human vs Bad 'Lucifer'

Australian actor Luke Mitchell ("H20: Just Add Water"), who plays good guy John, is becoming an early favourite among the viewers. "Supernatural" fans are thrilled to see 'Lucifer' actor Mark Pellegrino to play the bad guy in another potential hit TV show. In their "good vs bad" confrontation scenes, Luke and Mark show a potent chemistry that fans want to see more of in the next episodes.

It is too soon to tell whether the show is good or bad. But the 'Tomorrow' pilot is very promising. It shows a lot of adventure areas and opportunities for action-packed scenes. Many viewers talking on social media sites agree the show had an excellent start. Some viewers felt there were less action than what was desired. But Robbie Amell (who, by the way looks good shirtless), is expected to display more stunts in the future.

This early, Sci-Fi TV followers are hoping the show won't be as short-lived as Syfy's Alphas (24 episodes) or Fox's Firefly (14 episodes).

The 3 Ts of the Tomorrow People: Which One For You?

Stephen Jameson has three special abilities: telekinesis, teleportation and telepathic communication. His new friends have the same "superpowers," but Stephen seems to be the most evolved among them.

The pilot (Episode 1) of 'Tomorrow People' introduces MIA mystery character (Stephen's dad) and a bad guy (Mark Pellegrino as Stephen's uncle, Dr. Jedikiah Price) from a huge organization called ULTRA. Stephen and his new friends must find the MIA and survive ULTRA's assaults in the process.

Robbie's character's name, Stephen Jameson, is consistent with "(Stephen and Robbie) Amell Wednesdays." Has The CW has found a gold mine in the Canadian cousins? Arrow's showrunner Greg Berlanti is also on board as executive producer for The Tomorrow People.

Here is the episode summary of The Tomorrow People Season 1, Episode 2 ("In Too Deep"), from TV.com:

"ULTRA and Stephen both search for a new break out who is using his powers to commit crimes. When an ULTRA SWAT team arrives, Stephen again calls on John (Luke Mitchell), Cara (Peyton List) and Russell (Aaron Yoo) for help."
