“Minority Report” is set in 2065, a decade after the events of the film its based on, which starred Tom Cruise.

Early on in the new series, produced by Steven Spielberg, the past is rapidly explained. There was a trio of young “Precogs” — psychic individuals who could predict crime as they were hooked up to drugs, prompting Precrime Unit officers to make preventative arrests. When the Precrime Unit is discredited, the three disappear from the public’s eye but one, Dash (Stark Sands).

Driven by his terrible visions, Dash reaches out to a police detective named Lara Vega (Meagan Good). Despite a warning not to get involved from his older foster sister, Agatha (Laura Regan), Dash is hoping that by stopping the awful crimes he sees in his head it will ease his pain. The problem is that his visions are incomplete.

Meanwhile, his twin brother, Arthur (Nick Zano), would rather use his ability for his own self-enrichment.

Lara recognizes Dash’s value, but he won’t let anyone know it’s him. So the two work in secret from her boss (Wilmer Valderrama) to stop the murder of a politician’s wife. Once you get past that, the show moves along pretty much as a crime show, albeit with a lot of eye-catching sci-fi effects.

Peppered in are some humor, like funny references to the past when Lara’s mom saying she met her husband on Tinder, or when Dash uses his abilities for more than seeing crime, like knowing when bird poop is dropping. However, you wish that the show would have been less zippy, less procedural. It hints at dire aftereffects of Precrime, but doesn’t go much beyond that.

Hopefully, like its lead-in, “Gotham,” the show will develop its story — quickly.

If it comes down to solving a crime a week — no matter how coolly futuristic it looks — “Minority Report” won’t have much future.
