e-a-caskey So just going into the second season I have got to say that although I love the story and will continue to watch this show I feel like there should have only been four seasons and that the second season should have been the first season. There was a story going on in the first season it is like they decided to completely redo the story in the second season and make the first season a complete write off!At the end of the first season Detective Marks was alive although her condition was guarded, with Toby's search for his mom and to find out what happened to her. Then the second season starts with Detective Marks having died, it is a year and half later, and Toby seems to have completely given up on the search for his mom and to find out what happened to her? I kept thinking there were episodes that I have missed to explain the gap, so I went back to the first season to look and nope. Also what is going on with Olivia in the first season she seemed completely OK with Toby reading minds but in the second season they seem to have broken up for good.Very poor writing and planning if you ask me.

gil-roitto Toby Logan is a paramedic which can read thoughts. The series evolve around him and a few other key characters solving crimes using his ability.Many shows and movies trying to start from something supernatural, only manages to produce a superficial action/horror/fantasy flick. The interest ends after the idea has been introduced - there is just nothing more to it - just some generic story and actors doing a decent job delivering the lines. I stumbled onto the third season and immediately had to watch the entire series from the beginning. The Listener has truly engaging characters and a smart story which drives the series. The characters are fun, warm and real. The story is usually quite smart and there is a larger story which is handled throughout the seasons. It feels like a real story told in steady pace without the need to leave cliffhangers.This beats so much nervous audience adapted crap that is produced today, where the story and characters are changed after each episode after reviewing the ratings and focus group opinions. The writers are not left alone to follow an idea undisturbed to the end - everyone are just nervous and there is no room for artistic talent.If you like me are soooo tired of nervous cliffhanger series which may be canceled any minute, I truly recommend this show! It's going into the 5th season - watch it from the start and enjoy it and get to know the characters.

newfreeman66 performance by Craig Olejnik is rocking the series .but it needs to come up with special threats to tobby logan by the personas like him ie (having supernatural powers) just like the 1st season. i hope show needs to move a level up with relations,past,action,threats and mysteries.Although the way this series going for protecting tobby's identity and role in iib along with solving crimes and mysteries is a wonderful plot but it wont hold the shows viewer to much time and this series might get cancelled in upcoming time.Immediate suspention of past mysteries,threats and action after 1st season wont hold this season longer......................so my advice to creaters and writer,direction group is to move a step up for the future of this show,as i don't want to regret watching this type of theme show. Thanks to creaters and actors of this show ....GOOD LUCK.

Lee Mars Season 1 was by far the best season for The Listener. It had a very interesting story line and it made the fans ask so many questions. It had me at the edge of my seat. But then it stopped airing for a while and when it came back it was like a whole new different show. Before it was about the boy with this supernatural power, mind reading, who had no idea how and why he had it, a mysterious past and so many questions unanswered. You'd basically feel what Toby is going through and desperately wait for answers while he saved people.Now It's about a Hero with super powers who has taken a job in IIB to read people's mind to solve cases. Not cool. We have enough CSI, CIA, NCIS, CBI, crime teams on TV if we wanted crime solving then we'd watch CIA Miami or Five-0 for the way normal people solve crimes. This show has a boy who can read minds. Where is the fun in that? Go back to your good ol' mysterious past and get into Toby more. No one cares about Michelle and her divorce. We want some Toby action. Please.If you don't mind being left with a lot of questions unanswered and enjoy average crime solving then watch it. The only reason this show is getting stars if for Season 1.
