10/10
Crime drama with a paranormal twist
6 December 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The premise of someone being struck by lightning, surviving and having visions isn't new but perhaps to fiction. This happened to Dannion Brinkley in real life. I liked both sets of cast and they did show Jess's Mom and brother within the framework of the second set of cast. The show was really about Jess and it evolved in a way I thought was very appropriate for her life to move forward. It highlighted others in the cast as well to make it multidimensional. I found no flaws in the acting or dialog. Mostly because I'm not a professional who teaches drama. I didn't think anyone was over acting due to the background of each character. Many times it was quite humorous in how they interacted which was of a level that relieved some of the seriousness of the topics they examined in the series. Fox's character was intense due to hard knocks in life she had to over-come where as Ruben came from a family that had money and prestige. I found all the characters explored in depth and the backgrounds of each playing a factor in how the part was portrayed by the actor. I don't compare Ruben or Fox because the characters weren't remotely alike other than being FBI Agents. I did like the first theme song better because it wasn't like all the others these days in the hip-hop style. It added to the uniqueness of the show but it may have had something to do with Ruben leaving why it changed. Louis Ferreira went by Justin Louis on this show so what IMDb has listed is incorrect in regard to billing. I loved all the seasons of this show with all the actors involved. I only wish that Lifetime had the foresight to hold on for another season and do more ads for it and people would have realized that Jess was growing older and in the show she evolved into a more mature individual with different dress and hair style. Sad a great show was cut short. I personally loved the series.
