Poltergeist: The Legacy (1996–1999)
8/10
Totally worth it

Warning: Spoilers
I just recently discovered this show through buying the season one DVD (the only season so far to have been released). I really liked it.

I like the cast a lot, Nick was cute, although sometimes he had a bit of a personality problem, once you find out about his past though (everything seemed to have happened to him), you understand better why he sometimes acts like a jerk.

And Philip, I loved his Irish accent, I was sad when he left for a while, he represented the good kind of catholic priest.

Alex is actually my favorite character, she had the sight, and was smart, and strong, and kind.

My second favorite character would have to be Kat. She was so cute, and a very talented child star to boot. Whenever the storyline revolved around her I was extra interested. She had the sight too.

Rachel was mother to Kat, and tried to be mother to all, as well as being a psychiatrist. She starts out as a skeptic, but gets sucked in because of her daughters abilities as well as other things. She ends up having a very interesting history and family tree.

And Derek was the sometimes moody, mysterious, sometimes frustrating, leader of the house. He knows more about evil than anybody else in the house, and he is always trying to balance out defeating the evil with protecting those under his leadership.

I also love the house, I think it's cool they all live there together, except for Rachel because of Kat. Perfect creepy/cozy atmosphere.

The stories are so fun, they have the perfect amount of supernatural elements, mixed in with investigation, and personal drama. It's similar to the x-files except there are no aliens, and everyone in the legacy believes. I actually like PTL better, or at least they are tied in affection for me.

I really hope to find the rest of the series somehow, because season one was so awesome!
