Superb series.
Unique and thought provoking. Anyone who doesn't get this, has my sympathy.
Unfortunately, the 2nd Season went to pot. Utter rubbish, without direction and may as well have been a different series. Such a shame. Guess they ran out of ideas.
But, they say, everyone has a story inside them... so, as for the writer: well this first season was his.
A very good programme based around something quite interesting. One of the main actors is one of my favourite actors Kiether Sutherland seen as he was in 24.
The pilot for Touch is actually rather intriguing and well-executed. My problem with the show is projecting how well it will play a couple of months into its run.
Nothing about these connections feels particularly earned and many of the twists and turns of the pilot feel contrived and obvious, especially toward the end.
Ironically, given a show that so clearly wants to touch its audience--from that weighty one-word title on down--we have met, apart from Martin, hardly a single character who incorporates more than the hint of an actual person.
I think it is excellent TV, and I can not wait to see how it evolves. Kiefer could not whisper so much but other than that, brilliant. Thanks for the entertainment.
The first season was great but in the second one, it lose all the good things and became boring and predictable. If you want to see it I recommend only the first season.
The main point of view of the show is definitely amazing but it should have been more thrilling and fast . Touch is maybe the most "Brilliant Boring" show i have ever seen . I think its too childish and slow to enjoy every minute . Tim's Heroes was amazing but this wont be like that !
This show tries to be sentimental and tear-jerking and fails miserably. I am personally familiar with autism as a disorder and the way the show portrays it is both unrealistic and mildly insulting. Sutherland is over the top with his performance, but not in a good way. There are many better shows for me to continue wasting my time on this series.
A bit melodramatic for my tastes.
Also, the shows intro has Jake narrating how it's his job to keep track of the "numbers" and connect people who need to be connected. I felt part of the intro was awkward as there is no reason (clear or implied) why Jake decided its his job to make these connections for people. My first impressions are the show is a mix of pseudo-science, high school geometry, and the new age spirituality movement.
Anybody who enjoys the show Fringe will probably enjoy Touch as they both have the same feel / vibe to me.
