I started to watch this show recently. To tell the truth, I didn't expect much. Initially I thought this is just another streamlined crime solving series by the super being, but it didn't turn out that way. Instead I see someone exploring on an unique venture, with gift and 'real' life troubles. That interested me like reading a biographical novel. I kinda really like it. But the pace is really slow, I didn't hook up until episode 3.Actually, later these homicide cases becomes a burden to me. I can't help wondering, why this PARAMEDIC only help victims of crimes. Why he must go to the police station for help in each and every episode.Despite the stuffed crime scene, and the death of his cop friend, I think season 1 ends well. Then comes the season 2 which is a full-blown under-the-cover different series. The figure is gradually shedding off his identity as a paramedic. The show is morphing into another per episode crime solving series. Maybe its the way I appreciated this series had changed. The loopholes suddenly become glaring. I still remember the way the new actress's cat-walking in the passage of a hotel followed by his sneaky assistant in S2E1. Call me lack of humor. Though S1's plots have flows, anyway, Charles still acts like a cop. and this new cat-walking detective is so unbearably fake. Sadly you have to bear with her, while watching through the second season. Her and her sneaky tech savvy assistant steal more exposure from Toby. And Toby is being detached from his paramedic life. His paramedic setting seems artificially stuffed in there. And the interaction with his friends from season 1 is nearly set to be redundant.I haven't watch Season 3. I hope this show didn't morph into an CSI copycat work. If Toby lost his paramedic setting, and becomes the police's exclusive mind reading machine. I kinda lost his show. Screw it!

I really like this show. OK, it's not overly fast-paced and has a few plot holes - but it does have a lot of heart. I enjoy the interaction of the main characters (esp. Oz) and the slow unfolding of the back-story. The end of season 1 left me wondering, what we will learn about his fate and his mother. However, this is where I'm stuck now.WHERE IS THE SEASON 2 DVD?! You're 4 episodes in, so it's about time to bring 2 and 3 out on a disc. Does nobody think about the poor European viewers? Do you really want to force me to ask a friend to download the episodes from some illegal platform? Come on! I'm ready to spend money - so give me a chance!

They are trying to make her look goth or something like that this season and have given her "helmet hair" (damaged with extensions) that is very unbecoming on this actress and definitely does not fit the character she is trying to portray. They have worked hard to develop this show and would like to see it succeed, but it seems they need stylists that are up-to-date with current styles or at least what looks good. Anyway, just my two bits. ---- -------- ------------- ------ ------- -------- ------ -------- -------- -------- -------- ------- ----- --- ------ -------- ------- ----- ----- ----- ------ ------ ------ ----- ---- --- ----- -- -- ------ ---- ----- --- ---------- ----- ------ ----- ----- ---- -------.

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.
