I am a huge TV/movie person. I am always watching no less than half a dozen series at one time, although, I have never had a show that compelled me to stop and write a review. This show is the one. Not only do I get to see Peter from Heroes- but I get my fix of all that I crave in a good series(not in any particular order): conspiracy, action, violence, sex, tension, mystery, intrigue, betrayal, emotion... emotion- that is what did it for me. The last half of the series has an incredible build up. I cried. I held my breath. I stood motionless for 20 minutes in the middle of the room completely forgetting my banana and chocolate ice cream mission. It stuck in my brain for hours after and I caught myself humming the intro song today while cleaning. As a wife and as a mother this show reached down deep into fears and nightmares- hid in the shadows of morality and behind the doors of grief and loss..all while being wound so tight I have caught myself holding my breath and forgetting about ice cream. Who forgets about ice cream?? If your looking for a roller coaster ride that will suck you in, churn your stomach, twist your heart, and linger in your thoughts- this show is for you.
The idea of the show is so new and fresh, the plot is really thrilling , the pilot went sensational on the Mysteries from start to finish ,, you won't stop asking questions, the screenplay appeared strong and tightly written,, the story itself seems to organized they bring you all the crimes and then connecting them all together. Soo Hugh is not new on the Sci-Fi writings he's written some for "Under the Dome" and "The River" but i feel this one is gonna be something different ,, and i mean fantastically different and really intriguing and catchy from the first 5 minutes.
As for the cast, you gotta love Milo Ventimiglia (Peter from Heroes :D) he's so fit for this role here,, Lily Rabe and Barry Sloane are doing a fairly good job so far,, and the little Kids .. bravo ,.
Overall,, ABC has cancelled Forever last month , and i think they're somehow replacing it with this ,, and even though this show is more into seriousness drama and sci-fi ,, i think they will make it work flawlessly with such high ratings. ,, again this network have so much experience for picking up a huge thrilling full of mysteries shows,, so lets hope for the sake of us the audiences that this is one of them ;)

I, like a lot of the reviewers, didn't think much of the show when it first began. The first couple of episodes were quite confusing and left the impression that this was going to be one of those dull shows with sluggish plots that take ten episodes to tell a story that could have been told in three - I was wrong.
After the first few episodes the show eventually began to open up and everything started to make sense. The show goes from a confusing series of unrelated events into one big brilliant interwoven plot that leaves you wanting more. Although a lot of what's going on remains a mystery, there is enough progress being made by the characters to keep you interested and entertained.
I see this show really making it big if it stays on it's current path. Definitely one of my favourites this year.
I advise anyone out there to give it at least 4 episodes before writing it off, you won't regret it.

I'm not sure where people are getting Poltergeist meets Close Encounters Of The Third Kind meets Children Of The Corn, clearly they have not actually seen those movies. I was also confused by the complaint too many TV shows are serious, did the commercials for it make it look like it would be a comedy? I like the TV show, it's not the typical show, maybe that's why some don't care for it-some are a bit harsh imo-The point is to not know who is going after the children right off the bat, the point is to wonder who it is, and wait to find out! Lily is fantastic, Abby Ryder Fortson is great, the rest of kids are believable and adorable and I'm glad to have something different to watch this summer :) Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I suggest checking it out for yourself :)
I just watched the last two episodes back to back and I didn't want it to end!!! Absolutely incredible writing!!! Kudos to the writers for those two episodes!
There were a few flaws though but none the less it was incredibly entertaining and took my breath away! Any show that can fool the audience as to who the suspect is....Keep the audience on the edge of their seat and make them forget to breathe, is a show that deserves the best of reviews! I don't know why there were other reviews with negative views...Compared to most shows, The Whispers, rules!
I have the feeling of not being able to wait until next season! I'm hooked and cant wait to see how the second season pans out.
Also thanks to the cameraman for not making a shaky picture. Some shows really over shake the camera to bring on a different approach or feel of the scene but it's most often not needed.
Great show! Great actors!
Thank you for restoring my TV show interest!
