Just finished The 4400. Excellent premise that has been done a number of ways (generic: group of people abducted and come back to do something). Plenty of talent behind the scenes with bonifides like Deep Space Nine, Outer Limits, Elementary, V and on an on. However they took no chances in their story telling and they got caught with their pants down when they got cancelled after season 4, well before the story arc was complete. If The Expanse and Travelers tied up their story in 3 seasons, what happened to the show runners of 4400?
I guess I'm mad because I had initially liked the show but they took a short break during original broadcast season 4 and I never was able to catch up with it due to other life obligations. I bought the dvd a while back but never watched it. I recently saw Netflix had the show so I finally caught up. (actually rewatched about 5/6 of the series.
The acting is good and the dialogue generally not cringe worthy but the plot lines will make most sci fi fans wince far too many times. Since they really did not finish the story I can not recommend the show unless you are a fan of the abductee/returnee genre or like the many good actors(Mahershala Ali, Summer Glau, Peter Coyote etc) in the show.
Now I have a big decision to make. I have Watcher and Dark Materials ready to go on my DVR. But The Expanse and The Witcher have just started up. AND season 2 of Lost in Space starts tomorrow.
Plus I need to be true to my self and play Disco Elysium. Oh, and it Xmas and a ton of family stuff to do that takes me away from all that stuff. I need more me's
