Review

(I waited for a while before reviewing this, in the hope that C5 might deign to screen the remaining episodes. No luck. As with First Wave, it seems that C5 are better at buying series and hyping them in their adverts, than at airing them.)

This is a fairly routine but competently done series about a group of misfits with special powers -- precognition, channeling, sensitivity, that sort of thing -- who get a new member, Marian, who is not at all sure she wants her "gift". Some of the episodes reminded me of The Twilight Zone.

Rating: 4

[ unmissable | great stuff | worth watching | mind candy | waste of time | unfinishable ]
