New Series: 'Helix'

Syfy is launching a new series called Helix, which features a group of CDC scientists traveling to the Arctic to investigate a disease outbreak. The first episode aired on Friday, January 10th.

The virus turns humans into creatures similar to the zombies on The Walking Dead. The executive producer of Helix Steve Maeda says they aren't trying to make a zombie show.

"We're really trying to not make it a zombie show," he says. "I would say the main difference about our vectors, as we call them, is that they are not kind of mindless sort of eating machines, and that's something that you'll see in later episodes." 

"You know what? The comparisons will come, and that's OK," Maeda continues. "But we're really trying to do something that feels different than the typical zombie show."

Do you think Helix is ripping off ideas from The Walking Dead?

I didn't watch the premiere of Helix, but I'm willing to give it a chance. Even if Helix is good, no one can beat The Walking Dead, no one.

The next episode of Helix airs January 17th. Watch it and tell me what you think.
