After watching 5 hours of this TV series I am more an more annoyed at the announcements that this TV show is somehow unprecedented. I wish they would say how.
The show itself is spectacularly mediocre, while the acting is good, it is wasted on two-dimensional characters and bland story telling.
USA Network has two great shows right now, the Dead Zone and Monk, even when the stories for these shows are blah, the well developed characters make that forgivable. We don't tune into Monk for the stories, we tune in to spend time with Monk.
Here, I tune in because it is on before the Dead Zone and because there is the seed of a worthy idea that I hope will sprout. But week after week I am praying that the 4400 will be re-abducted and have some interesting personalty traits installed. Or maybe just the writers need to be abducted.
Or maybe it is the executives. Yes, the blandness has the feel of a bunch of non-creative suits telling a creative soul how the show has to be.
Well, I will probably keep watching this show until the Dead Zone goes into repeats before it or until it becomes just too painful, but if you are missing it you are missing something only mildly entertaining. Not awful enough to hate. Not great enough to love.
