The 4400 - Series 1 - Complete (DVD 2005)

I first saw the pilot for this show and loved it, which resulted in me purchasing the full series one on DVD. It's very much a cross between the X-files and Roswell. A number of people, 4400 people to be exact go missing over a number of years (1950's - 2005) then suddenly reappear one evening in 2005 in a suspected meteorite, which is actually a spaceship. After six weeks confinement by the American Government the abducted people are released back into the community to continue their lives. Difficulties ensue as the abducted people have not aged at all since their disappearance years ago. Many find loved ones dead or re-married. The Government become very interested in the abductees because some of them seem to have attained special powers, such as physic ability or the power to heal. This series is easy to watch and hugely enjoyable. After watching the final episode my sister and I have been searching the Internet for a second series for a year and a half. I looked it up on the off chance it would be sold on ebay and to my surprise it was. I'm now embarking on series two!! It's handy to ask sellers what the picture and sound quality is like as I have bid and won a few DVDs that were awful and made poor viewing. Many sellers own a number of each DVD so remember to contact them if you don't win a bid as they may be able to sell you another.
Happy viewing!!

Good sci-fi series, bit slow and drawn out. If you've enjoyed X files or Taken this is for you.
Good points: family safe with no real sexual or violent scenes, well acted characters giving a tense story plot.
Bad Points :For me 4400 people arriving from space without aging should realistically have caused a lot more panic and somethings are accepted far to easily
Overall the story keeps you thinking that why I rate it so well
