jayneranson Watched this many years ago .i am a lover of every thing sci-fi this show was intriguing because of Declan with his innocence of always trying to find answers to the weird and wonderfully .peggy for her there is all ways a answer that is satisfying.and then there's Miranda the goth who doesn't really care but all ways seems to find her self right in the middle of the reason and the answer. All in all loved this show and found it to be totally entertaining if you have seen touched by an angel and liked it you will love this.
Benoît A. Racine (benoit-3) I'm really out of the loop. It took me 10 years to discover this series even existed. I was watching TV this morning at 6 AM when I came across the first episode of the series ("Amazing Grace") on the W channel (yes, the fat chick channel!) concerning a boy's mysterious survival of a drowning experience. Adian Pasdar, in a diving suit, was having an amusing if improbable discussion with Rae Down Chong on a frozen lake. The natural, offbeat and yet perfectly logical and even witty banter of the two characters was so far removed from the usual TV clichés and so brilliant in its own unassuming way that I just had to see this story to the end, even though parts of it seemed to indicate that this was a - ugh! - Canadian production (the BC setting, among other things). I was mortified to learn later that this is a cult series that actually went under the radar and only survived two years on prime time television and didn't even make it to DVD yet. That's too bad because here is a series that replaces the usual formulas with a meaningful, affecting subtext and lets the viewer do some of the brain work for a change. In a way, the fact that such an excellent, well-written, uplifting and thoughtful series didn't succeed in the open market is yet another confirmation that most US TV production is essentially lowest-common denominator "trash with dismemberments and major boobage" but that is very little comfort to me. I guess I will have to wake up at 6 AM every day and watch the W (!) channel to see the rest. I believe Adrian Pasdar is the most original TV actor I have seen in a long time. His very existence and survival in the world of television is something to be wondered at and a possible clue to the existence of God. Seriously.
saga_heart One of the biggest losses was the cancellation of Mysterious Ways. The first time I saw it was in Sept. 2000. The title caught my eye and decided to watch it. It left me in amazement! I loved it! And this was just the first episode I saw. Some shows grow on you, this one steals your heart and mind.I totally disagree that this show is a cheap imitation of the X-Files. The X-Files deals with government conspiracies, alien invasions and gives you a sensation of doubt and uncertainty. Mysterious Ways relaxes you and gives you hope that not everything is what it seems and that anyone can experience a miracle, where this word is not meant to be a "Divine intervention", but rather the emotions and possibilities that are within us all.Take the characters, a bumbling anthropology professor whose heart is the only thing in its right place, a scientific minded calculating psychiatrist and a true genius that is a social misfit. How can these three people have anything in common? How could they get along if placed alone in a room? And yet, each has this trait which takes them above all this and helps them build a friendship of love and loyalty. In a world where they are all alone, they form a union where each accepts the others and is in turn accepted. The message that they scream is that the true miracle is that we all can get along and that we should, if we can get outside our selves for a moment. Who can forget the episode when Declan discovers a lump near his underarm, or when Miranda mysteriously learns to play the violin, or when a college student is found to have "superhuman" strength, or when the tomb of an ancient monk is discovered. (etc, etc.)The show was marketed at 30 to 40-year olds, and apparently there weren't enough of them to keep the ratings up, so the show was cancelled leaving us with game shows, reality TV and sitcoms. Not that these are bad, everyone is entitled to veg-out once in a while, but shows that make you want to be a better person and that make you think and leave you feeling like there is hope out there and that we can make a difference are scarce, and this was one of them.If you ever come across it, don't pass up this unique experience.
TooCynicalToSpeak I don't have any serious issues against this series. I do think it's nice and I know for sure that I didn't give it a fair chance, I rejected it from the very beginning, but with reason. This show is just a cheap (figuratively and quite possibly literally) and unworthy imitation of The X- Files. Two educated people, one an open-minded believer and the other one skeptical but willing to give things the benefit of the doubt and ask the right questions. Both of them investigating "Miraculous Phenomenon", which is basically another way of saying The Paranormal. Okay, so most people won't find this imitation thing a problem. But I happen to be a wholehearted fan of The X- Files and I just think why see this if you can see the original. Mysterious Ways is enjoyable and certainly not bad for the genre lovers, but it is much less interesting, eloquent, innovative (I can go on forever). I do think it's cute that they're trying. The effort is definitely noted.
