    A Very Good Series

    I enjoyed the series very much, it is a shame that Prey was canceled. The cast showed exceptional talent along with all involved in the production of Prey. The re-runs are well worth your time. I hope very much that executives decide to make a good film from it.

    Why it only lasted a season

    My wife and I enjoyed this show, but what a challenge it was to keep track of it.  It seems that ABC kept moving it around, pre-empting it with other shows, and generally making it very difficult to keep track of when the next episode was to be aired.  You had to really want to watch this show in order to find it worth the trouble of doing so.  Of course it got very poor ratings.  How could it do otherwise, when it was made so difficult for the audience to keep up with it?   I have to think that someone at ABC very much wanted for this show to fail.  They did the same thing to TimeCop (1997), a TV series based on the movie of the same name.

    Please let Prey come back again

    This show was one of the best I have see for a long long time it was different, intelligent and had high class of acting and of the story and was believale, but I didn´t enjoy the cliff-hanger in the last episode so I was very disappointed and couldn´t believe that this was the end of this great show. So all I`m asking for is this, let Prey come back with some more episode or a TV-Movie so that this great show could have a proper end.

    Great Show!

    I though the series was great and that it was a very sad thing it got canceled :( I been trying to find the dvds to the series but no luck ;( I though it was quiet original, much better then the series Dark Angel.Its one of the only sci fi shows that actually makes you think. Makes you ponder what if this happened, and the possibility. After all we don't really know what all the chemicals we release in the atmosphere will do in the future. I feel that this series had great potential, but sadly the writers didn't get to explore it further. Here's hopping that next time such a great series comes on air, it will be given the chance of at least proving itself.

    Did I mention the series had a few cuties? :) Awesome series!

    supportive; loved the series

    I watched Prey from the beginning. It has a very timely, interesting topic. Well written, well acted. Badly treated by the network that first showed it, and not doing so well with network that is supposed to be running it now. It was cancelled at the end of a cliffhanger, leaving a key character locked in a cage. It has a strong lead female character with a brain, strong, honorable men (Human and not so Human), intriguing plot lines, great acting. Highly recommended.
