Citat:
We are all interconnected. Our lives are invisibly tied to those whose destinies touch ours.
This is the hopeful premise of the new drama TOUCH from creator and writer Tim Kring (“Heroes,” “Crossing Jordan”) and executive producers Peter Chernin (NEW GIRL, TERRA NOVA) and Katherine Pope (NEW GIRL, TERRA NOVA).
""Our lives are invisibly tied to those whos destinies touch ours""
Blending science, spirituality and emotion, the series will follow seemingly unrelated people all over the world whose lives affect each other in ways seen and unseen, known and unknown. At the story’s center is MARTIN BOHM (Kiefer Sutherland), a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his emotionally challenged 11-year-old son, JAKE (David Mazouz). Caring, intelligent and thoughtful, Martin has tried everything to reach his son. But Jake never speaks, shows little emotion, and never allows himself to be touched by anyone, including Martin. Jake is obsessed with numbers—writing long strings of them in his ever-present notebooks—and with discarded cell phones.
Social worker CLEA HOPKINS (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) believes that Jake’s needs are too serious for Martin to handle. She sees a man whose life has become dominated by a child he can no longer control. She believes that it’s time for the state to intervene. So Jake is placed in foster care, despite Martin’s desperate objections.
"Martins quest to connect with his son will shape humanitys destiny"
But everything changes after Martin meets ARTHUR TELLER (Danny Glover), a professor and an expert on children who possess special gifts when it comes to numbers. Martin learns that Jake possesses an extraordinary gift—the ability to perceive the seemingly hidden patterns that connect every life on the planet. While Martin wants nothing more than to communicate directly with his son, Jake connects to his father through numbers, not words. Martin realizes that it’s his job to decipher these numbers and recognize their meaning. As he puts the pieces together, he will help people across the world connect as their lives intersect according to the patterns Jake has foreseen.
Martin’s quest to connect with his son will shape humanity’s destiny.
Umiddelbart ligner det lidt en blanding af noget som er set før. En kombination af Numberr 23, Lost, Mercury Rising. Jeg var dog glad for Jack Bauer, og Danny Glover samt en foreløbig score på IMDB på 8,5 gør at det nok lige skal tjekkes ud. Den sendes på Norge 2 (N2) mandage (første afsnit igår som jeg desværre ikke så) så man må sige de er godt med.
Jeg kender ikke til om den kommer på en af de danske kanaler.
Jeg har set første afsnit, og må sige, at jeg synes det var en omgang absurd og tåbeligt følelsesporno. Efter signende er afsnit 2 endnu værre, så det var det for mit vedkommende. På den anden side, hvad kunne man ellers forvente af Tim Kring?
Jeg fik set hele første sæson igennem her for nyligt, og må medgive, at der bestemt er følelsesporno med, men for mig blev det nemt overskygget af god spænding og mysterieløsning. Stilen minder meget om en krydsning af "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" og så noget af det matematiske fra "Knowing". Ikke at den ellers må sammenlignes alt for meget med sidstnævnte.
Jeg er alt i alt, positiv overfor serien og glæder mig til en ny sæson.
