Editorial Reviews

Beginning on NBC in 1996, this action series told the story of a man named Jarod (former soap star Michael T. Weiss), who was known as a "Pretender" -- a genius with the ability to insinuate himself into any walk of life and become anyone. As a child, Jarod was taken to a research facility known as the Centre, where his abilities were used to test certain theoretical simulations, such as how someone would react while trapped in a sinking ship. The Centre then sold these simulations to the highest bidder by applying Jarod's knowledge to real life, often for use in plots resulting in the deaths of hundreds. As the series begins, Jarod has discovered that the Centre has been using his gifts for nefarious purposes and flees the complex that had been his lifelong home. Chasing him is Sydney (Carnivale's Patrick Bauchau), leader of the research project and a father figure to Jarod, and field agent Miss Parker (Andrea Parker), who is also the daughter of the Centre's head. While on the run, Jarod becomes a sort of avenging angel who helps others in need, posing as everyone from a Coast Guard lieutenant who brings out the truth about a drowning in "Every Picture Tells a Story" to a lawyer defending a wrongfully accused man in "The Paper Clock." What prevents the series from falling into the disguise-of-the-week trap is the fact that Jarod is driven by the emotional need to know the truth about who he really is and where his parents are. Another nice character touch is the way the once-isolated Jarod discovers things like donuts, Wheel of Fortune, and Slinky toys during his travels. By the end of the season, Jarod's quest leads him to the discovery of his mother and siblings, but fans will have to wait to see a happy reunion. Christina Urban, Barnes & Noble

July 18, 2008: It's been years since I've seen this show, but now that my son is a teenager, I am ready to introduce it to him, he loves the X Files and will love this! Bring this show back to TV! This was better than X Files or 24!
