->'''Dash''': Can...you...see?\\
'''Vega''': See what?\\
'''Dash''': ''Murder''.

''Minority Report'' is a 2015 sci-fi PoliceProcedural airing on Creator/{{Fox}}. It is also a SequelSeries to the [[Film/MinorityReport film of the same name]], which told the story of the Precogs - psychic siblings who could see visions of future murders. Used by Pre-Crime, they prevented almost every murder for years until an internal conspiracy revealed the flaws in the system. The Pre-Crime unit was shut down, and the Precogs released to the outside world and away from the public eye.

In 2065 Washington, D.C., eleven years after the events of the 2002 film, Precog Dash (Stark Sands) has grown distressed over still seeing murders. Setting out on his own he has attempted to stop them, but as the weakest of the three he lacks important info that his twin brother Arthur (Nick Zano) could see. After his latest failure he runs into Detective Lara Vega (Meagan Good) and, after she pieces together his past, the two team up to [[TheyFightCrime stop crimes before they happen]]. But Dash's fellow-Precog Agatha (Laura Regan) has foreseen that this partnership will only end in disaster.

!!This series contains examples of:

* AdaptationExpansion: Dash and Arthur were the least-developed Precogs in the film. Here, the two of them are main characters of importance equal to Agatha.
* ApologeticAttacker: Dash apologizes for paralyzing Vega's leg before running off.
* ArcWords: "Can you see?" makes a return from the film, spoken by all three of the Precogs at various points.'
* CallBack: Dash uses the same paralytic Anderton used in the film to cause his face to droop as a disguise.
* GilliganCut: When asked if he's staying for dinner by Vega's mother, Dash confirms and claims they're having Chinese. Vega stops him, saying that she's cooking. Cut to a burnt lasagne and a {{beat}}, followed by Vega declaring that they're ordering Chinese.
* GogglesDoSomething: Cops in 2065 wear augmented reality contact lenses that, among other things, let them scan crime scenes and see in thermal and night vision. These lenses also work in conjunction with gloves worn by the cops so that the lenses will scan specific areas the cop is gesturing towards.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: The series' premise is based on spoiling the ending of the film.
* LongRunner: An amusing throwaway gag from the pilot reveals that ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' is ''still going'' in its 75th season.
* PermaStubble: Dash always appears with some peach-fuzz.
* PrecrimeArrest: It has been eleven years since [[Film/MinorityReport the Pre-Crime experiment,]] where people were arrested because the precogs saw them commit murder in the future. Now, Peter van Eyck wants to develop a new system of crime arrest based on computers and data analysis rather than "genetic freaks" in order to accomplish the same thing. The precog Dash joins with Detective Lara to prevent the murders Dash predicts.
* SequelSeries: It takes place eleven years after the film. Actor Daniel London also reprises his role of Wally the Caretaker.
* TechnologyPorn: The creators were sure to expand on the paths that future technology took, based on the film and real life. The movies motion controls have been replaced with augmented reality displays, and there are significantly more automated elements. Selfie Drone, anyone?
* TwinBanter: Dash and Arthur trade barbs back and forth.

Moved some to characters page.


* NoSocialSkills: Dash, who has only come into the public world in the past few weeks - and the fact that he was imprisoned for most of his life and never saw anything but murder certainly didn't help matters.



* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Dash, the youngest and "weakest" of the precogs. His name even starts with a different letter. When they were in the temple, Agatha would get the clearest image and Arthur would get the names while Dash's visions would be used to fill in the gaps. Now that Dash is trying to operate alone, the limitations of his abilities makes trying to stop murders all the more difficult.
