Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for sci-fi fans. If you loved Torchwood or DC's Legends of Tomorrow, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
- The mood
- Mind-bending.
- The pace
- 1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 45 minutes, about 10 hours in all.
- What might put you off
- Rated TV-14. Probably too much for younger kids.
- It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
- Audiences were cooler on it than critics.
4400 overlooked, undervalued, or otherwise marginalized people who vanished without a trace over the last hundred years are all returned in an instant, having not aged a day and with no memory of what happened to them. As the government races to analyze the potential threat and contain the story, the 4400 themselves must grapple with the fact that they've been returned with a few "upgrades", and the increasing likelihood that they were all brought back now for a specific reason.
