Miracles - The Complete Series (2003)

another good show killed before its time

It's too bad that more people didn't watch this or that the network did not promote it more. This was an X-Files variation with a spiritual bent to it, as well as a clear story arc that would have been fascinating to track.
The gifted yet troubled Paul meets up with two people who research the paranormal and he goes along for the ride, sometimes suffering for it due to the aforementioned gifts. Many of the stories involve loss and grief, as well as mysterious forces, so it's not some creature feature. This really dealt with human emotions and frailties. Perhaps it was not formulaic enough to satisfy some viewers or network bigwigs.

Too bad, because I would have liked to see more. July 13, 2008

Best. Show. Ever.

I rarely get hooked on network shows, but I was hooked on this one. And when it was cancelled, it confirmed my view that the networks are run by idiots!

Eerie, beautiful, haunting, thought-provoking, spiritual, horrifying, intriguing --- well, I'm running out of adjectives.

Thanks heavens SOMEONE had some sense and released it on DVD. March 24, 2008

'Miracles' is a Supernatural Genre Lost Jewel

My favorite genre of television is sci-fi and/or the paranormal. I am highly critical, normally of any show that attempts to duplicate the X-Files. It seems that most paranormal shows borrow quite a bit from the Files, and it's a rare show about the supernatural that differentiates itself from the pack. Having said all that, I heartily recommend `Miracles' staring the vastly underrated Skeet Ulrich (the current star of the hit series; `Jericho.')

The premise of the show is never full explained since it was canceled 6 shows into production by ABC despite critical acclaim. It essentially is about a small group of people dedicated to find the source of real supernatural miracles. Everything from possession, stigmata, ghosts, and clairvoyance is represented in a thinking-man's presentation. Ulrich and Angus MacFayden are superb as the chief two investigators: Ulrich as a disillusioned Catholic priest on a mission to find answers and to understand who and what he is; MacFayden as the trained supernatural expert.

The original series had 13 episodes, but only 6 made it on the airwaves. For the fans of the one-year run, seeing an additional 7 first-class episodes is well-worth the price of the DVD boxset just by itself. "Miracles" avoids the pitfall of being too one-sided for or against religion: rather, we are left the impression that the miracles the team finds may or may not have come from God Himself. For fans of the supernatural, this show is a natural: a must buy. A one-year jewel, we may never find out the conclusion of the show since it suffered a premature burial.

Excellent TV Show.... Should have never been cancelled!!

Sometimes I really wonder about how TV networks do business and their rationales... This TV series was a rare gem that never really had a chance to make it because the TV Network screwed it up!
I can highly recommend Miracles! It is captivating, intriguing and just simply put Very, Very Good.
If you liked the x-files, if you like supernatural stuff, then you are going to like Miracles. Skeet Ulrich and Angus Macfayden both deliver amazing acting performances and are just a true joy to watch... Go check it out, you won't regret it! February 1, 2008
