A grabber from the start, quickly moving beyond the sci-fi label to uncharted drama territory. Its tale - executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola - takes place on Earth and in the present day, which should help attract sci-fi-resistant viewers. Even better, its situations are viscerally relatable, hardly as removed from our daily lives as so many other out-there allegories. [11 July 2004, p.11]

If we have to spend yet another summer in the twilight zone of alien abduction, it might as well have the intriguing twist of The 4400.

What distinguishes The 4400 is its representation of the sense of alienation that pervades post-9/11 America.
