I'm asking because my neighbor has season 1 of The 4400 on DVD and was wondering if it was worth watching. Thanks in advance :beer:

I thought it was pretty good. It was at least good enough for them to broadcast a second season this year.

My mum was talking about this series, I refused to watch it when I found out it was on at the same time as 24 and Nip Tuck.

Just because a show makes it to their second season doesn't necessarily make it worth watching Bootprint :)

Yeah, I agree with rh71 that it's engaging because of the mystery. The execution of the plot is well done, however bad acting has hurt it somewhat. Thankfully, the worst actors are killed off early.

About as good as anything else on TV. Which is to say a steaming pile of manure.

It's decent. Like everyone else I think the acting brings it down a notch but let's hope that it gets better with time.

Pretty good show.

By the way, you should check out Riverworld. Underappreciated adaptation of a P.J. Farmer novel where people also suddenly appear in a lake.

I like it a lot. It's got an X-Files feel, but with the slower pace of Lost.

And yeah, that old guy with the telekenisis at the beginning was not a very good actor. I always thought Satan was going to jump out of his mouth. "MAAAHHHH WIIIIFFEEE!"

I love the show. The new female (Alana Morova) makes my peepee tingle. Monk is good too :)

I've watched from the beginning and it's kept my interest but it's obvious it's not a top-notch network show.
