DVD : The 4400 - The Complete First Season

Rating: - Simply Fascinating
If you haven't seen one episode of the 4400, you really need to start watching. I just got into it recently and now just decided to watch it from the beginning. The 3rd season isn't bad but I really missed some great tv by not watching it from the start. 4400 people disapear and reapear after a big ball of light appears in the sky. They all come back to their lives being different, their loved ones are either dead, moved on or just treat them differently. So they have to find their place in the world. On top of that they slowly realize that they have new abilities.

Two agents, must work together to find out the secrets of the 4400. One Tom Baldwin volunteers to be on the case because he knows it will lead him to find out why his son is in a mysterious coma. While his nephew Shawn disapeared the same night his son was put in a coma. Now he's back and part of the 4400. Shawn soon finds that he can heal people and also finds that his brother's g/f has a crush on him. As if his brother doesn't treat him strange after his reapearance already.

While Conchita Campbell is adorable yet creepy as a child 4400 that was missing the longest. She can tell the future and even knows that things won't last very long with her new foster parents. Especially when she tells the husband what cemetary he'll be buried in. Bill Campbell (The Rocketeer, Enough) plays a rich and powerful man that decides to be the voice of the 4400 claiming that he too is one. He influences the others to realize that they are important and should embrace their new powers.

Their was so many new sci-fi shows last season like Invasion and Surface and I thought they were trying to be like Lost but really they were trying to be like the 4400. Now NBC has Heroes coming out with people all over the world finding out that they have powers. Sound original ? Plus I doubt that will be as good or as fascinating as this. It's about as good as Lost, maybe even better and if you're not watching it you really should start.

Rating: - Seems like a good concept
We have not watched all the episodes yet, but so far I am okay but not thrilled with the show. I am told it gets better, so we will see!

Rating: - The X-Files meets the X-Men with a touch of Alien Nation
An excellent series, The 4400, brings to the screen the parallel stories of (mainly) four characters (returnees), Maia, Shawn, Lily, and Richard, and the two Home Security agents charged with looking into the former abductees' affairs, Tom Baldwin and Diane Skouris.
The setting is Washington State. 4400 abductees, dating as far back as 1946, have been returned to Earth. The complications, however, have only just begun...
Joel Gretsch, Jacqueline McKenzie, and the rest of this extraordinary cast, have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the series is without a doubt guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment. Moreover, The 4400 does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face.
The only (minor) setbacks are in relation to:
1) Not using the wonderful music from the pilot in the other episodes.
2) Tom Baldwin's annoying wife.
On the positive side:
1) The GREAT plot and concept.
2) The GREAT characters (especially Richard).
2) The GREAT acting.
3) In the episode titled Beginning, The 4400 sheds light on the "new" Dept of Homeland Security and how they operate (e.g. "You are being arrested as a terrorist.
You are being treated as an enemy combatant. You do NOT have the right to remain silent..." etc)
4) The wonderful feeling of being addicted to the show and wanting more!

In short, The 4400 is a series definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection! KEEP'EM COMING!!!
