DVD Reviews of The 4400 - The Complete Second Season
DVD Review: Dramatic Improvement!
Summary: 4 Stars
I ended my review of the First Season of "The 4400" with hopes that things would start to improve. I said, "While this short season is extremely flawed, it's also entertaining television... (Many) aspects of it still make it a good show, but the acting, writing, and use of music needs to improve a considerable amount before this can be a show that I can truly appreciate."
So it pretty much comes down to three things. Did the acting, writing, and use of music improve a considerable amount?
ACTING
Having watched this season in full, I'm looking back at my review for the previous season, and am shocked that I said "Patrick Flueger as Shawn is simply awful." And then, it was true, which makes his acting in this season that much more impressive. He rises from the weak link of the cast to arguably the best, giving emotional and raw performances that really sell the character in a way that the first season never did. I even got misty eyed, due to his evocative and heart-wrenching performance in the final two episodes of the season. The entire cast really steps it up, which really helped in elevating this show from "meh" to something I truly look forward to watching.
USE OF MUSIC
Much better. Insanely huge improvement. It seemed that each episode of the first season was scored by "Now That's What I Call Music," what with every emotional scene backed up with a popular song. It really ripped me out of the episode. That is not at all an issue in this season.
WRITING
Again, much better. Risks are taken, especially as the larger story arc of the season begins to develop, and the writers implement Lostesque twists to keep viewers on their toes. There are a few weak efforts, especially in the earlier episodes of the season, but by the time the episodes start being less-standalone and more vital to the overall series arc, things really get moving in a nice way. Don't get me wrong, the standalones are good too--and some of them, such as the completely stellar "Suffer The Children," are great--but the writers seem to feel more at home with the episodes that move the overall plot of the season forward.
8/10
DVD Review: 4400 Second Season
Summary: 4 Stars
Things start to heat up. As more and more the difference between P postitives and what use to be normal flares. Can't spoil it. You need to watch for yourself.DVD Review: It keeps getting better.
Summary: 5 Stars
It's not the type of show that you can start watching in season two, but if you liked season one, this is a must. I have seen the entire series, and it just keeps getting better and better, with each year building on the last. This is one of a very small number of shows in the genre that puts thought before flash and plot before special effects. I can't say enough good things about the series.DVD Review: Not as good as season 1!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This season fell short, in my opinion, of number 1. There was less action, suspense, even the storylines seemed to dwindle.
I wanted to see more of the 4400's powers, but what little powers they showed, they werent as impressive as in the previous season, although there is a reason for that, which I wont give away.
Yet although season 2 fell short, I still love the show, and will continue to watch it.
DVD Review: Another Sci-Fi series, with a modern twist.
Summary: 5 Stars
This show first caught my eye when I was flipping through the channels, and I saw an ad for it. I decided to check it out and I was hooked! The characters are well developed, and very involved. I don't want to give much away, but the relationships between the 4400 and the NTAC agents are so inter-twined that it makes Tom and Diana's job quite difficult. I would recommend this show to anyone who is a fan of Sci-Fi shows.
Description of The 4400 - The Complete Second Season
Four thousand-four hundred people missing from around the world return together in one place, on one day.Genre: Television
Rating: NR
Release Date: 23-MAY-2006
Media Type: DVD
A year has passed since 4400 abductees were returned to Earth (and six months since the original series ended). Richard (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), Lily (Laura Allen), and Isabelle are on the run from Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell) and others who would attempt to harm their child. Shawn (Patrick Flueger) has moved into Collier's cult-like 4400 Center. Then there are NTAC (National Threat Assessment Command) agents Diana (Jacqueline McKenzie) and Tom (Joel Gretsch). The former has officially adopted Maia (Conchita Campbell), while the latter is reunited with formerly comatose son Kyle (Chad Faust), Shawn's best friend. Almost everyone, returnees and otherwise, is changing. Jordan, for instance, is having more seizures (as a result of his first encounter with the eerie Isabelle), while Kyle is having blackouts. Along the way, new characters are introduced, like mute mental patient Kevin (Jeffrey Combs, Re-Animator), who regains the ability to talk, thanks to Tess (Summer Glau, Serenity), the only returnee who can recall what happened to her. Others include Diana's sister April (Natasha Gregson Wagner), Jordan's pal Matthew (Garret Dillahunt, Deadwood), and former NTAC supervisor Dennis Ryland (Peter Coyote), who returns to the fold. Guest stars include E.R.'s Sharif Atkins ("Voices Carry"), Star Trek: Voyager's Robert Picardo ("Weight of the World"), and Twin Peaks' Sherilyn Fenn ("Carrier"). The season will end much as the miniseries began, with the 4400 being released from another quarantine, setting the scene for the next year. Although the first set was a barebones release, the second features commentary from McKenzie, Gretsch, writer Craig Sweeny, and writer/producer Ira Steven Behr. --Kathleen C Fennessy
