    To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

    A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

    It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

    By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

    It's great escapism for the wannabees like me! Brains, brawn and street savvy. Although it doesn't say out loud he's a computer geek/hacker, Martial artist - well some of his moves impressively familiar with Aikido & Jiu Jitsu self defence techniques. Instead of sitting inside a ball to be programmed (he doesn't have to were specs!) he is more realistic with reading and his innocence is played out with really tongue in cheek comments. Then in series four an old friend and student popped up in a cameo role as a doctor - Phina Orouche who went from chemistry A-level to modelling and acting.It makes a change to watch a series that can be emotional, humorous and always having a feel good happy ending in each episode! Adult version for yesteryear's kids - us!!

    1. Love the character of Miss Parker. I'm fed up with the dumb shallow bimbo female leads. 2. I love the B side of the story, much more intriguing then the Jarod beats up the bad guy every week, while those entrapped within the Centre fight for the lives and their sanity. 3. I like Sci fi, and although there are no space craft, there is the cloning, the 1984ish. Fahrenheit 451 touch of evil. 4. It has a great ensemble cast. I can't see the show without anyone of them. 5. The actors have made the characters their own. ex. Andrea Parker OWNS Miss Parker, as to Michael T Weiss own Jarod. Or Jon own Broots or Patrick own Sydney. 6. You never know what to expect from one episode to the other. You go one week from a heart wrenching scene to a rather off the cuff scene with Mr. Wiggles. (April Fools show) 7. Great writing for the most part. 8. I can watch the show over and over and even though I know my favorite episodes by heart they never seem dated to me. 9.There is nothing on TV that challenges this show, even yet. Alias tried but got too tied up with soft meaningless episodes. 10. Did I mention: Great acting, great writing, and a very unique story. and of course Miss Parker.

    Exactly how do you pressure the people making TV shows to finish the story? They did it for Farscape, and I would like to see it happen for The Pretender.A Genius Who Can Become Anyone He Wants To Be - except for a complete person with his own life and his own identity.Jarod's journey is one of discovery for himself, his once childhood playmate Miss Parker and the viewers. For every answer he finds, three questions are posed.We all deserve answers, yet the search continues... until 'the powers that be' see fit to reveal their secrets.

    In the last TV episode THEY Didn't DIE! It's called a clifhanger. In The Pretender 2001 , they are still alive , and you can see what happened after the train exploded. So , stop crying Cinderella :D I strongly advice you to watch that movie. BTW. I really like the movies , I keep getting the illusion that Jarod and Miss. Parker have some sort of love / hate relationship :DAnyways , I hope they change their minds ,and continue the series :DI also like Mojor Charles , he really has a good role. Why do comments have to be at least 10 lines? Thats just not right! I have an opinion ,a nd I have to right to voice that opinion in any way I like it , long or short :D HERES A MESSAGE TO THE CREATOR OF THE PRETENDER : PLEASE CREATE ANOTHER SEASON OF THE PRETENDER!!!!
