Advantages: Clever, Kevin Mckidd, Writing

Disadvantages: Cancelled, Too much Mystery for Some

Journeyman

Journeyman is a programme that aired in 2007 on NBC, However it was unfortunately cancelled after its first season.

The Show starred Kevin Mckidd as the lead character Dan Vasser who finds he has the ability to time travel, however he doesnt choose when o where he goes. He must find out what he has to change in the past without affecting his future too much.

Even Though Time Travel has been used a lot in Film and television, Journeyman comes up with a fresh way to look at it. Dan Vasser's Tim travel feels more natural than most Tim Travel shows/Films and they also managed to avoid the big Tim Travel problems which is difficult to do.

The Main Storyline is very well put together, which is basically Dan trying to figure out exactly what is happening to him with little success, however every episode Dan would travel back in time to try and sort out the timeline and although this would take a forefront in the show, Dans story didn't seem to be forgotten. Normally i would have thought this show would be a success but i think its ultimate downfall was the fact that the show had too much mystery, i think it was too early for another LOST to be successful. Its a shame really as the show had everything it needed to be great, a Good solid cast including Kevin Mckidd who stands out in the lead role, a great Concept, and it was written incredibly well.

Normally i would recommend this to everyone, however as the show only got one season and not even a full one at that, i wouldn't say it was worth it for anyone to devote their time to it, only to be disappointed when their is no wrap up or closure at the end of the show.

Summary: A Good Concept that was cancelled too early
