Miracles

everyone i know who's seen miracles seems to have liked the series. brutally it was canceled before ever really getting a proper chance to show where it's plot was going. the pilot is a downright classic, the rest of the episodes weren't as great, but miracles showed great promise, and once again we can only shake our heads confused with shows like earth final conflict or bold and the beautiful for example going on as long. sadly miracles joins earth 2 in the graveyard of shows that refused to be dumbed down. it's all about the money, i know, but i can't believe people honestly want to see 'reality' TV and a hundred and one different courtroom dramas instead of great thought-provoking, serious series by proper writers and directors who can be called artists.

This series has only just begun over here in England and I am hooked already. Each episode asks questions we are all afraid to ask. Are there miracles? Is there a God? a Devil? Is the world as we know it about to be sent into armageddon?

I have read that this series has been abandoned and all I want to know is why? It seems us mortals are addicted to the likes of Pop Idols and soap operas. I personally believe people are afraid of what we all really think. Ok, so maybe there are no such things as werewolves etc but there have been many accounts of miracles through the ages and people seeing and hearing messages.

This programme really made me think. My message to both the maker of 'MIRACLES' and TV CHANNEL which scrapped it is to bring it back. The X Files was great but MIRACLES is more personal. An excellent programme and well done to all concerned.

This is, without doubt, an excellent TV show. I saw the previews and knew and I had to watch. Although it starts slow, it had an excellent story & kept my attention. The acting & writing is excellent & it's actually different than any other program out there. I love the whole supernatural aspect, too. I looked forward to watching it each week & I became horrified when I came down one day to find another pathetic Michael Jackson Interview on instead. These stations need to realize the viewers want quality programming, not any pathetic reality shows or interviews with failing & and desperate celebrities.

Here's another solid concept that fell victim to the whims of the great unwashed of American television audiences. A truly interesting concept, coupled with some solid acting by Ulrich and Macfayden made "Miracles" one of the freshest new shows of the 2002-2003 prime-time television season. Alas, probably because there was no one getting "voted off the Island" on it - it got voted off the Island pretty quickly. I will always rue the fact that the ultimate plot was never allowed to be revealed and the nature of the "God is nowhere" phenomenon was never explained to viewers. Like a succulent hybrid of "X-files" and "Millennium," "Miracles" promised the building intrigue of a huge, unraveled conspiracy theory and the creepy twisted irony of religion gone terribly awry. A real shame it was cancelled, especially while pap like "Big Brother" hangs around longer than the lunch special at Luby's. USA Network was brave enough to pick up "Monk" - I wish they'd have done the same for "Miracles." It'd be awesome for the Sci-Fi Network. Oh well, I expect no less from an obtuse network like ABC - maybe they can flog a couple more cheesy seasons out of that tired old "Practice" - but I doubt it.

I happened to catch this programme while flicking through endless channels one night. At first I just watched because I recognised one of the main actors in the show (Angus MacFadyen) and thought this might be quite good. I proved myself right and after the first 15 minutes I was hooked. However I began to wonder why I'd never heard of it and why it was shown on Living TV of all channels at some ridiculous time.

I conducted a search on the internet only to find the show had aired briefly in the US and had then been cancelled. I mean why? Don't the American T.V execs appreciate a decent drama above all the disastrously awful "reality TV" which is shoved in our faces day and night?

I felt quite saddened when I tuned in the next week as I knew the programme would eventually stop abruptly and have no real ending. So it ends up like many good shows (e.g The Handler and American Gothic), not really given a chance and then cancelled after a few episodes. It makes you wonder why the writers and actors of these shows even bother when they pretty much know they'll lose out to moronic and simply awful T.V which just happens to grab the ratings.

My only hope is it will be released on DVD or maybe a miracle will happen and it will be resurrected...I can live and hope...
