That was an excellent one.

Please don't spend money on this.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

It's great escapism for the wannabees like me! Brains, brawn and street savvy. Although it doesn't say out loud he's a computer geek/hacker, Martial artist - well some of his moves impressively familiar with Aikido & Jiu Jitsu self defence techniques. Instead of sitting inside a ball to be programmed (he doesn't have to were specs!) he is more realistic with reading and his innocence is played out with really tongue in cheek comments. Then in series four an old friend and student popped up in a cameo role as a doctor - Phina Orouche who went from chemistry A-level to modelling and acting.It makes a change to watch a series that can be emotional, humorous and always having a feel good happy ending in each episode! Adult version for yesteryear's kids - us!!

If you haven't seen it, do it! You won't be disappointed until you realize that the show was canceled much to soon.... Just 4 seasons and two movies...:(But apart from that it is one of the best shows ever made. Good plot, great actors, many unexpected twists to the story, funny episodes, and sad ones too. A show that one get's addicted too very fast. And there are DVD-boxes of all the seasons and a DVD of the movies is coming in March 2007, so you can watch everything over and over again.... Although the show was first aired in the mid nineties it still doesn't feel old. See it soon!

I somehow missed this show in its original run in the mid/late 90's. But as luck would have it, I've recently discovered this show in re-runs and was so interested by it that I even bought the Season 1 DVD set. The show consists of a hero (Jarod) who is a genius capable of insinuating himself into any profession or situation. Kidnapped as a child and exploited by "The Centre", Jarod escapes and sets out to find his long-lost parents. During his search, Jarod uses his abilities to seek justice for strangers he reads about in newspaper articles. Part of what makes this series great is the relationship between Jarod and Centre psychologist/instructor Sydney who has raised Jarod from childhood and become the closest thing Jarod has ever known to a father. Additionally, Centre Hench-woman "Miss Parker" tracks Jarod relentlessly, while discovering more and more that the Centre has manipulated her own life almost as much as they have Jarod's. The only negative thing I have to say about this show is that it was canceled prior to its conclusion. An attempt at a TV Movie "Pretender 2001" was made to give us the answers about Jarod's family but I have yet to find a copy to see how it ends. It's too bad there aren't quality shows like this on today to save us from Reality-TV.

The Pretender is simply the best show there is! M.T. Weiss, Andrea Parker, Patrick Bachau and all the others makes great actors and their characters is interesting and the plot is full of suspense, mysteries and even some romance and rather touching scenes. The show got it all without being a total mess. You got the stereotypes like Raines. The always evil one. On the other side you got Jarod, the constantly good one. The you got everyone like Miss Parker and Sydney in between, switching from side to side. This makes the show unpredictable and interesting. Some say it's boring because every episode is built up in much the same way every time (you know what I mean when you see it), but I say that gives the show a unique theme or design that makes sure you never get's disappointed, and I don't really notice it that much because you focus much more on the story and the characters then the technical stuff around the production.Bottom line is: You just got to see it for your self!
