But Netflix has continually been adding new Chinese-language titles to its catalog, mainly targeted at viewers outside China, including audiences in Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
We will update this section as soon as we hear more. As we first is it, we see it through Thomas Veil's viewpoint as we see him being the happily married veteran war photographer who was going put on His first major show of his work and made one photograph the centerpiece of it. In the space of a few short hours, his every existence of totally wiped out, marriage and all.
And it all centers around that photograph to which he doesn't know why some high powered and well connected covert organization is trying to get their hands on all the copies of it and the negatives. He goes on the run. He starts to investigate every detail he sees in the picture.
He eventually learns that what he thought was his real life was nothing but a fraud that involved brainwashing. He slowly starts to realize he had another life. A shadowy life. He starts to question, "Who am I? Who am I really? You will get no answers here. Watch the show. The intrigue, mystery and suspense is so well plotted throughout the episodes that I can rate this on par with an early 60's show that did the same with intelligence, "The Fugitive" and a well qualified succor to it.
It is a shame that the UPN network, which aired it didn't see fit, to keep the show running and canceled it while going with the sure cash cows of "Star Trek Voyager".
Some of them were brain dead series that couldn't reach one quarter of the quality of Voyager, never the less bother to comparing them to Nowhere Man's.
But they were low budget, low non-confrontational, safe money makers. In fact, I remember that Nowhere Man was the highest rated show one week. So I ask why was it canceled?????? And yet, I have my answer too. At least, Nowhere Man had a clear concept and direction from start to finish and did not lose it's direction as "Lost" did or "Twin Peaks" did. No self-respecting mystery writer today does that.
They always write the end goal and solution first and then create the mystery and place the clues throughout. Nowhere Man was clearly constructed like that. Solution first. That is what places it above "Twin Peaks". What also sets it apart is the in every episode, there was an well drawn conflict and well drawn characters that are unique to those episodes. That was what made everyone of them fresh and individual while being pieces of a larger story.
Best show of the 90's pozy 19 April This is the only show that I looked forward to watching in the 90's. I was sad to see it go off the air. This show did not have to rely on violence to do good stories. The stories were so good, they were kind of an amalgam of "Fugitive", "Prisoner" and "Twilight Zone".
Violence is destroying our society. You don't need violence to get people into movie theaters or to watch television. Why can't we all get along? This series sticks out as one of the best sci - fi mystery series ever aired. Unfortunately it aired on the UPN network during it's early years, and died in the ratings. Imagine a world where you're identity, career, family, and finances disappear in the time it takes to go to the bathroom. Then imagine there's no one in the world you can never truly trust.
Especially if they smoked cigars. Part of the story revolved around a photograph Thomas veil took as a war photographer. The picture of 4 men, executed by hanging, was about to be displayed to the public as part of Veil's first major photo exhibit. The photo had a lot of hidden meaning. It's origins weren't ever what Veil thought they were - Even though he took the photo himself.
Or did he? The pilot movie was directed by Tobe Hooper, and was considered by many reviewers to be a minor classic. The series had an ending of sorts - Which I won't reveal that made some sense. But all in all the series could have lasted longer than the one season it ran.
I, for one, miss it. I weep to think of what might have been Krakn3Dfx 5 May Thomas Veil was a masterpiece of television characterization. A man who, in the blink of an eye, had lost everything that meant anything to him, a statistic is a cunning game played by unseen puppetmasters.
Whether or not the gruesome photograph of 4 men being hanged in Vietnam was the true reason behind his situation, we will probably never know.
What we do know is that by limiting this show to one season, UPN has deprived us of something magical, something thought provoking. In a world of yuppie trash shows like Cops and Seventh Heaven, few can appreciate, or even remember Nowhere Man and the mark it made on those of us who followed Mr. Veil from one waypoint to another in search of the truth.
A good show that should not have been cancelled. I remember on Monday nights, my dad and I would always watch Star Trek Voyager, and when it was over, my mom and sister would come in and our entire family would watch Nowhere Man.
This was one of the few shows are entire family watched together all the time. It was such a good show; full of action and suspense, and did not deserve to be cancelled when it did, just when he was beginning to get some answers.
Even just one more season would have been good. I'm pretty sure it was cancelled because of lower ratings, but you have to realize that this show was showed during UPN's first season on the air. If it were showed today, now that UPN is pretty much a mainstay and is becoming more popular, it probably would last longer.
I say bring this show back; if not new episodes then at least in syndication! Great start to a series that deserved a chance to develop ElvesBrew 2 April Nowhere Man was obviously cashing in on the fallout from X-Files but it did so in a unique and entertaining way.
While the series suffered from constant scheduling changes it actually had a very good initial script and created an atmosphere that was both tense and compelling. Greenwood's character was both the hunter and the hunted. The show kept you feeling as those you were being subjected to a contagious psychosis that didn't always wear off as soon as the weeks episode was over.
A great show for any conspiracy fan. Unfortunately Nowhere Man wasn't given a chance to build an audience and as so many of the best television Sci-Fi it was canceled at the end of the first season.
It is a shame that some bright media producer doesn't take advantage of these old Sci-Fi series and start up a cable channel that resurrects some of these series. There must be over two dozen of these series out there, that could be easily resurrected.
After all they already have built in audiences that would become instant loyal fans to any network that chose to bring the shows back to life. Seems like a money maker if managed right. What a Lovely Christmas Present!
Having worked over the Christmas holiday weekend, and with little to do in the office, I started thinking about TV shows that I wished would be released on DVD. I hadn't been keeping up with the message boards because I had given up on my favorite show ever being released on DVD. Lo and behold! A search of 'Nowhere Man' turned up the news that it's being released this week, a wonderful Christmas present for those of us who enjoy watching high drama that respects the viewer.
That it was canceled by UPN was a real tragedy for those of us who were hooked from the beginning. I agree with other writers who think Bruce Greenwood should have gotten an Emmy. These days there are NO series on the tube that challenge our intelligence and senses like Nowhere Man did.
The creepy music by Mark Snow X-Files really added to the general other-worldliness of this gem. After working 7 days in a row, I'll be spending the next 2 days catching up with Thomas Veil and his mysterious world on this DVD set.
Highly recommend this show to anyone who thinks network TV is the vast wasteland; this is one of the few classy exceptions! I cant imagine why they canceled it and crap like Voyager or 7Days runs and runs.. I guess the conspirators stopped the series because it showed to much truth in it ;- The story was great, and the end still let much open. Also there are some mysteries placed in the series: for instance the glasses you can see in every episode.
I still hope! Bring it back! LordElfstone 19 April Yes, this was one of the very few shows I tried to watch every episode of. I missed one or two, though. Tom Veil's search for truth was a perfect mystery.
Some episodes were somehow creepy, the mysterious force behind the scenes appeared to be alien or supernatural Nothing was clear until the very end, which was a rashed-up conclusion. I'm keeping this diary as proof that these events are real. I know they are They have to be. He sneaks off with his wife, Alyson to a nearby restaurant in order to escape cloying art critics, but when he excuses himself for a sneaky cigarette and returns to find his wife nowhere to be seen, and another couple at his table, things take a dramatic twist.
The waiter does not know him, he is subsequently ejected from the restaurant, he returns home to find his wife now with another man, who claims to be her husband, his ATM card no longer works, and in desperation returns to his photographic studio to find the locks have been changed.
His life has been totally erased.
