Numb3rs - The Complete Second Season (2005)

Math is Fun - Numb3rs makes it more so

The Numb3rs series is quite well done. Being Hollywood it's a bit too violent overall but it is very interesting how they link the mathematics in many episodes. Ok, not perfectly so for purists but the show makes one think about different ways in which mathematics can be and is used in the series.

I showed a couple shows to my high school classes and overall they enjoyed it - some already were watching the series. The tough part is that the math can be a bit heavy, thus "Charlievision" is the best creation of the series. Whenever the main mathematician, Charlie, goes off on a real-world comparative model for the math he is explaining they use a different type of filming technique.

The character development is also pretty good. Main downfall is the overly Hollywoodish elements of too much violence and occasionally other risque plots making it less appropriate for younger audiences.

The main actors have gone to the NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) conference where they were received like rock stars. July 15, 2008

Numb3rs - 2nd Season

Another great series. The extras on the DVD make it more interesting for non-math minded watchers. February 6, 2008

Season 1 was good. Season 2 is even better

Numb3rs is quite a different show that will keep you hooked. Interesting plots and believable actors. Their personal lives are interesting as well. Charlie tries find a way to get to Amita and Don is the eternal bachelor. I'll buy season 3 as soon as I finish number 2. This is good entertaining!!!!! December 7, 2007
