Review: CW's 'Frequency' is Ham-Fisted Time-Bending Tale:

Time traveling or time talking: On TV, you run the same risks. Like the
movie on which it's based, Frequency does not send anyone hurtling back and
forth through time -- which is one big thing that distinguishes this CW
sci-fi drama from NBC's similarly themed Timeless. Instead of jumping
around various timelines, the characters here talk across them, interacting
only through an old ham radio. (And how convenient that the family kept
that old ham radio in the garage all those decades, but never mind.) Yet
you're still left with the same old time-travel tensions, thrills and
dilemmas. Present-day cop Raimy Sullivan (Peyton List, who is very good
here) may not travel back in time to fiddle with past events, but she tells
her late father Frank (Riley Smith) what he should do to change them,which
amounts to the same thing. Oh, and causes the same problems, both for
themselves and the show. Raimy is a New York detective, living in the dark
shadow of her father, a crooked undercover cop (or so she thinks) who was
killed in 1996 when she was only eight years old. She's tried to follow her
mentor's (ER's Mekhi Phifer) advice and forget her father, but the pain
runs so deep, she even gets mad at her sweet fiance Daniel (Daniel Bonjour)
when he fixes dad's long-dormant ham radio.
