Well well, ever thought of super-normal humans being a part of your day to day life? well this show has it... it comes up with a complete package of entertainment, drama and SCI-fi thriller. The show revolves lot of secrets that are subsequently unraveled, Stephen Jameson has discovered his super-normal abilities not later he discovers there are many of his kind, in order to find a safe heaven for all his species he has to find his lost father the only way he comes up with is to work for the enemy -ULTRA.

Ultra is a resourceful organization who hunts the people gifted with the 3T's, so as to prevent them taking over humans.

Stephen in his journey makes friends and lives a life of any normal guy until he has to do what is right.

This show is highly recommended although much of it doesn't seem to make sense.

Lets watch it and be a part of Stephen's impossibly true journey.

Friend of my enemy

Warning: Spoilers
This one actually isn't at all bad, despite the usual daft elements.The return of Julian was inevitable but he provides a decent worthy adversary for the Tomorrow People and a nice alternative to Ultra or disposable psychopaths.There's some good stuff for Stephen, who twice saves Cara's life as well as arranging the rescue of the rest of the TPs.And Cara once more comes across as a capable leader, formulating a decent plan despite the lack of support.The climax is superb, eschewing the usual brainless action sequence in favour of the Tomorrow People using their brains and a non-violent version of their powers to hoist Julian with his own petard, so much so that the viewer is actually prepared to ignore the contrived plotting.(Julian knows about the lair but doesn't tell Jedikiah so Ultra are none the wiser.And why does Jedikiah fit Julian with a micro-explosive that kills everyone in the vicinity instead of just him?)And then it's topped by Stephen giving Jedikiah an awesome "the reason you suck" speech.

Sadly, it's let down by the ongoing plot threads:Astrid is back home far too easily(what did they tell her dad about the gunmen?)and John gets one decent domestic scene before he wanders around with his shirt off, comes up with a questionable plan to scare Astrid out of her wits to prove a point(and seeing him subvert Stephen's role as her confidante is mildly frustrating), walks back into the lair like an all-conquering hero then proceeds to yell at Cara a bit and contribute nothing useful, then reunites with Cara for no good reason with copious deployment of the L-word.Oh, and there's a bunch of flashbacks to their first meeting which are marked by a staggering lack of imagination.It's nice to see Charlotte again, just a shame that she gets relegated to the role of damsel in distress.
