Customer Reviews
This is a great show not given a fair chance
I think this show is a must buy at 19.99. This show is special, in a way that I really haven't ever seen before. The show's premise is like Groundhog Day, but I think it works even better in this case. If you like watching detective shows, where the plot sort of unfolds in one hour, then you will LOVE this show because it unfolds over the season, brilliantly. Brett Hopper is repeating the same day over and over again, and he learns so much from every character, what they were going through that day, and it's almost scary to think about his relationships and how shaky they really were. But you come to see that he is a fast learner, and really the day repeating is the only way to allow him to find the truth. I think the element of repeating the day, learning from mistakes, decisions and their consequences make this show a great teaching tool, you will learn a lot from this show. If you think about it, each day is a mystery in itself, and you will love this show from the pilot until the end. YOU WON'T be disappointed with this purchase, do it soon.
Can't believe ABC gave up on this one...
I loved this show from the very first episode, and it only got better. The perfect mid-season replacement for LOST, requiring a little thinking to make the ride worthwhile. And was I PO'ed when they yanked it half way through the run. What was ABC thinking? Were they afraid we wouldn't get it? I couldn't catch the last episodes online, so I waited patiently for the DVD set and I wasn't disappointed. The acting, action, camera work, music, editing...it was all well above average for a TV series. Actually the cancellation may have been a blessing for the true fan since with the DVD set we can hear commentaries on every episode...and I've watched some episodes several times. Want a great way to spend 13 hours+, without the commercials? Buy this and you won't be disappointed. Maybe some other network will pick it up for the short run and others will join the bandwagon.
Moon Bloodgood is the Finest Kind of Fine
She is hotter here than she is in Journeyman, another fine time-bending show cancelled earlier than it should've been. But let's get serious.
I have to echo the positive reviews for this show. The show challenges you and dazzles you. You'd think the writers would run out of ways to re-hash the same day and it would get tiresome, but just when it starts to look like it will, it comes up with an ace. I caught the last few episodes on the ABC.com. I gobbled them 3 at a time. It's that yummy. If you like 24 or Prison Break, this has the same amount of suspense and action, plus it has a bit more "whodunnit".
Sci-Fi Chnnel should buy it and re-air it. Ten times better than the b-movies they've been churning out. At 19.99, it is a pretty good deal.
