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.

I just finished watching the last, 13th episode. And it's really a shame, and the more I think about it, absolutely incomprehensible that they cancelled this show. I've seen many tvshows, but never such a perfect mix of mystery and heartfelt storylines.

Watch it if it aires, buy the dvd if they make it, or download it from somewhere, it's worth it!

The night this show premiered, my sister had dibs on the TV, so I grudgingly agree to watch the pilot with her. BOY AM I GLAD I DID. It was like nothing that I had seen on TV in a very long time. Well crafted story lines, brilliant cinematography, very well acted with wonderful musical scores. I felt as though I was watching a one hour theatrical movie. I was hooked. Alas, ABC's incessant preemptions of the show for war time coverage made it difficult for wavering fans of the show to become loyal fans. Thus the show's premature demise. Can't wait for a DVD box set release.

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.

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.
