The 4400

The 4400 is a strange program, as it appeals to many different demographics. You've got the sci-fi stuff for the geeks, humour for the comedy-lovers, and some very well-written storylines for the people that like to create emotional attachments to the characters they're watching. The basic premise of the series is that 4,400 people disappeared from the face of the earth over the last 50 years, and are all returned at exactly the same moment. They weren't all taken at once though, so some of the characters react better to their new surroundings than others. Obviously things haven't changed much for the ones that only vanished a year or 2 ago, but for the people ...  Read the complete review

On one single day 4400 people that had disappeared over a long period of time are returned to a single area. Returned without memory of their disappearance, nobody knows where they went, and how or why they came back exactly as they left.

One of the things I love about science fiction is that it can allow us to explore possibilities without having to be grounded fully in reality, and pose questions about ourselves and our future without condescension. The best of sci fi generally starts with the familiar, and turns it on its head in order to open up what lies beyond, and so it is with The 4400. I am sure that most people can recall at least a passing fascination at some point with documented cases of people who vanished into thin air in front of credible witnesses. These people ere of all ages, and all walks of life, and had no reason to stage a disappearance. people such as James Worsen of ...  Read the complete review

Science fiction to me is like a breath of fresh air when it comes to TV shows. The concepts they come up with are weird and wonderful and basically they can do whatever they want to in the show and you can’t argue that it would never happen because it is science fiction. My sister Sam was the first one to get into the 4400 and then I trusted her as she said it was excellent and I started to watch it. Well now we have just got into the beginning of the third series and I have also got my fiancé Dave hooked so here is why I think all science fiction fans should start watching this brilliant but yet underrated show. ----- What is the 4400 ...  Read the complete review
