The 4400 - The Complete Second Season (2004)

It keeps getting better.

It's not the type of show that you can start watching in season two, but if you liked season one, this is a must. I have seen the entire series, and it just keeps getting better and better, with each year building on the last. This is one of a very small number of shows in the genre that puts thought before flash and plot before special effects. I can't say enough good things about the series. July 5, 2008

Not as good as season 1!!

This season fell short, in my opinion, of number 1. There was less action, suspense, even the storylines seemed to dwindle.
I wanted to see more of the 4400's powers, but what little powers they showed, they werent as impressive as in the previous season, although there is a reason for that, which I wont give away.
Yet although season 2 fell short, I still love the show, and will continue to watch it. July 4, 2008

Another Sci-Fi series, with a modern twist.

This show first caught my eye when I was flipping through the channels, and I saw an ad for it. I decided to check it out and I was hooked! The characters are well developed, and very involved. I don't want to give much away, but the relationships between the 4400 and the NTAC agents are so inter-twined that it makes Tom and Diana's job quite difficult. I would recommend this show to anyone who is a fan of Sci-Fi shows. July 1, 2008

the Sneetches - updated

Well written, well acted. Basically, 4400 abductees return in a ball of light, each with a special ability. The central tale revolves around a core group but each week there is a guest ability featured. There are many organizations trying to use the 4400 to its own ends so we have villains from government, industry and family all trying to take advantage of the talents demonstrated by the returnees. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of who's good and who's bad (and even who's dead and who's alive).

This show draws from many sources but still manages to be unique and stand on its own. It has a bit of the Andromeda Strain, H.G. Wells, Biblical figures, but mostly Dr. Seuss's "The Sneetches". (The star bellied Sneetches had bellies with stars; the plain bellied Sneetches had none upon thar's"). That's basically the whole premise - Do you want a star or not? Is having a star better than not? This may sound simplistic but the writers weave episode after episode, season after season's stories around this age old question - Is what we want really best for us?
In my estimation, each season is quite equal so I'm using this review for each. Watch and enjoy....bg

the show takes off at warp speed...

the second season of the 4400 is one of the best seasons ever produced concerning a science fiction series. I found the stories to be much stronger, the acting better, the action scences more elaborate....everything is better. It seems also that they had a bigger budget than the first season, because the production design is superior than the first season as well.

If you liked the 1st season, you'll LOVE the 2nd one. April 15, 2008
