Touch

This pilot has to definitely be the second best pilot ever followed after the Sherlock Pilot.Insane, I mean once the episode had passed certain events I was just in a total awe the way those certain events all got connected to one final event.A must must must watch especially to all Jack Bauer fans and really looking forward to the rest of the season and hoping that it will be as mind-blowing as the pilot. Superb acting, awesome pilot story. Looking like a thrilling ride undoubtedly. The concept is just amazing, its full of surprises. Surely a sitcom that I will be following and will insist others also to have a look at the pilot and be ready to be amazed.

I hate emotional manipulation, and I often see Jack Bauer when I look at Kiefer, no matter his role, so I was skeptical heading into the pilot. I was pleasantly surprised to find a pretty smart show that was hinting at a lot of possibility, without much pretense. Wait, is this really on FOX?! The vibe of this show is all positive, and you can nitpick the logistics and science that they use all you want, most of it is very sound anyways, but you cannot deny the appeal of the show.

The pilot had solid writing, good acting, a unique premise, and was just believable enough to make most people keep watching.

It has a chance to be a very unique platform to break down barriers other shows constantly build up (stereotypes, plot conventions, clichés, etc.)...but time will tell.

Note: I found the second episode even better than the first, and much more realistic in terms of the connections.

being in Germany i stumble upon new series by chance. i watched the pilot and thought "wow, this could really become my new favorite drama series", the plot was unusual, the acting of the kid was great and kiefer nicely interpreted the role of a scared, overwhelmed and caring dad without being cheesy. yes - the social workers choice of words and idea of help for the kid is rather odd, but it altogether promised to be a good series. the atmosphere was mysterious enough, the dialogues, colors, pictures, plotting and scenes were well done. then finally the second episode aired. and I'm very disappointed. kiefers dialogues are stupid (he sounds way too much like ctu), the storytelling isn't nearly as good as it was in the pilot (way too easy to guess whats happening) and the social workers skills are with her looks and not with the kid. the pilot had 8,5 stars, the new episode more around 5. i hope it will get back to the intriguing start!

TOUCH is one of the best TV shows I have seen in a long while. So many completely different stories taking us around the world and weaving it all together in a heart wrenching and wonderful way.

Drama and action mixed with tear jerking emotion. Don't miss a minute of it. I was riveted right to the very end. I cannot wait for the next episode to see what can happen next. The writing is ingenious and put together with absolute perfection. The acting, of course, was exactly what we have come to expect from such as Keifer Sutherland. I would highly recommend TOUCH to everyone who enjoys good television. Give me more please!

Touch was NOT! a disappointment, in fact it shows that there are real ideas that can blend reality and fantasy. In the days of reality TV that we are all forced to watch, this was a breath of fresh air. Secondly, the subplots are essential in helping the story to blossom. Without it there would be a break in the flow, and we would be lost. It ties itself together well. Unfortunately there are some people who couldn't understand what the writers are trying to accomplish. Understanding the cell tower idea was not complex. This apex of our technology only seems right to have his son "receive" the information through. Or from another perspective, the only place that he can concentrate with all of the world trying to say that he is handicapped instead of understanding him. There is no reason to review this show poorly. It was a cinematic masterpiece. It took elements from real life and fantasy and made a story line that is amazing and promotes acceptance of people who are different from what we see in every day life. Who wouldn't want to have discovered something so amazing inside a child who seemed "hopeless". If you didn't really enjoy this show than you have lost your sense of mystery. It shows that you would rather open a puzzle box with the puzzle already finished than to discover the picture underneath.
