Reviews

Tss5078 Long before Person of Interest topped the ratings, there was a show with a similar premise. It was nothing as sophisticated as Harold's machine, and was constantly facing cancellation, but it too predicted and tried to prevent future crimes.Gary Hobson (Kyle Chandler) is an ordinary guy who is down on his luck, when he mysteriously starts receiving a copy of tomorrows newspaper at his door. His best friend, Chuck (Fisher Stevens), wants to use the information to get rich, but Gary has other plans. He wants to use the information to stop crimes from being committed and enters a world he is not at all prepared for.The show is similar to Person of Interest, but didn't do nearly as well, because the whole thing is hokey. The show is rarely serious and full of very amateurish jokes. Kyle Chandler play a pretty interesting guy, but he's the only believable character. His best friend is an ass, who would be in jail, and his partner is a blind woman. Not to mention there is some weird angle with the stray cat Gary adopts, that doesn't make much sense.The whole stopping crimes before they happen came about in Minority Report and garnered major success for shows like Person of Interest, but it may have gotten it's start with Early Edition, a show with a terrific premise, that was unfortunately barely watchable.

Mike Hargreaves The idea is pretty neat and innovative but it's based on a movie from the 1940's...It Happened Tomorrow http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036962/An ambitious newspaper reporter (Dick Powell), eager to scoop the competition, wishes he could know the news before it happens. A mysterious old man (John Philliber) grants the reporter that power, even as he cautions against using it. Now able to predict the news 24 hours in advance, the reporter goes about scooping all the other papers, picking sure-fire winners at the race track, and enjoying life... until he learns -- in advance, of course -- of his own death. Our hero's problem: How can he keep the future from happening?I have yet to see Early Edition in the UK but I look forward to it.

CavalorCumano Like my header says, I really am not surprised that CBS pulled the plug on EE. The show had potential to be so much more, but it was more or less the same every episode. It would start with Gary waking up at 06:30 to the sound of the cat meowing and the thud of the paper hitting the floor. He would then read the headlines and you just knew that everything would be put right by the end of the episode. They would occasionally make it so that Gary wouldn't save the day, but those episodes were so rare, you could count them on one hand. Fisher Stevens even said himself that it got boring playing the same note over and over. In fact, the shows predictability was one the reasons why he left at the end of the second season. Then there were the many implausibility's and appalling continuity. Here are some examples:1. Gary broke his leg in the episode 'Where or When,' yet in the following episode 'The Fourth Carpathian,' he was perfectly fine and there was no mention of his injury nor was it ever brought up in the rest of the series.2. Marissa's blindness is also a mystery. First of all (in the pilot), she had been blind since birth, but in other episodes, she had lost her sight in early childhood and had some memory of being able to see.3. The steps that were present outside McGinty's throughout the first season disappeared at the start of season two and never reappeared. They were even missing in 'Everybody Goes to Rick's,' an episode from the fourth season that took place in 1929, long before Gary bought the place.4. It had been established that the headlines in the newspaper changed when Gary altered the timeline, but in 'Time,' when Gary found Luscious Snow's old papers, the headlines telling of Gary's death were still present, despite the fact that Luscious had saved Gary. The newspaper should have read 'Stranger prevents boy from being knocked down' or words to that affect.There are so many more blunders like this that it would be impossible for me to enumerate them. If you want a quality drama with a character that puts right what once went wrong, then watch 'Quantum Leap.' And Oh.... Boy, speaking of QL, Sam Beckett should sue Gary Hobson for stealing his catchphrase. Don't waste your time with this!

johnleemk I first saw this in 1998, and I'll just say it again. This is brilliant. Trust me, almost anyone who can understand the English language will love this. The concept has been explained a thousand times by other reviewers, so I won't say it here. I will say, that this show is one of the most thought-provoking TV show I've ever seen, without making people feel uncomfortable. Again, you must see this if possible. You will love it.
