Is this your "Tru Calling"?

This is, I have to say a very good T.V. series. Not the best I have ever seen but definitely worth a watch.

The premise is, Tru Davis is a medical student and she works in a morgue (Oh yeah and she's beautiful, in the way that lead females in U.S. dramas are) the twist is that every so often a body comes in that has died too soon and asks for her help, the day suddenly re-winds and she has to save the person before it's too late.

I wasn't too sure about this show to begin with, the first few shows tie you in but then it lacks something for a couple of episodes, you find yourself thinking, "I've seen this before in the last few episodes" then there is this introduction of the character Jack. (First let me have the Jack rant. In pretty much every U.S. drama - as a complete generalisation - there is a character called Jack, why? Is it because it's easy to yell when you are in danger? Well that's what I feel anyway) With the introduction of his character the series suddenly becomes gripping. The type of gripping when you realise you've stayed up until 3 in the morning just to see what is going to happen gripping. The end of season 1, well I won't spoil for those who might watch it but it's good. Not overly dramatic in a say, Smallville kind of way, but one that makes you think "I need to find out what's going to happen!"

Now the complete and utter devastating downside. 6 episodes into the second season, Fox pulled the show. Even worse, they didn't let the show know until the day of the filming of the 6th episode. So you don't get a neatly tied up ending at all. You have a fantastic show that leaves you hanging with about 100 questions at least. Even worse was a quick trip on Wikipedeia to find out some of the writers thoughts on where the show would have been going. Frustratingly you can see that if the show had kept going it would have made it out of very good to amazing.

It's worth a watch, force yourself through the lull in the first season to become gripped and annoyed by the 6th episode of the second. You will be. I promise.
