Are you familiar with the series "4400"? Reviews about him leave very good not only ordinary viewers, but also experienced critics. Surely he will like any fiction lover. However, there are also elements of other genres: action, thriller, detective story, which makes the plot twists even more unexpected and interesting. Therefore, it is definitely worth spending a few evenings to get acquainted with it.
A little bit about the plot
First of all, it is worth telling about the plot, and only then talking about the reviews left on the series "4400" from the audience.
Officially, the US government denies the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations. But in fact, they created a special group - NPOU, or the National Command for Threat Assessment. They specialize in researching people who have been abducted by aliens in the last 60 years and then returned in one day. Their number is exactly 4400 people - from here originates and the name of the series. Moreover, all the abducted were returned to Seattle and its environs. None of these people grew old for a day, although some were abducted more than half a century ago.
The best agents of NPOU (in fact, a special unit of the National Security Agency) are struggling with the riddle - what happened to these people? For what purpose did the aliens abduct them and why return them?
Additional questions arise due to the fact that some abducted and returned people had paranormal abilities. Some have telekinesis, clairvoyance, telepathy. Moreover, one of the women even discovered that she had become pregnant during the abduction, but her father’s name, of course, is unknown to her.
Of course, most of the people cannot easily integrate into modern life - they are too behind the progress and trends in society. But that makes the series even more interesting.
The popularity of the universe turned out to be so high that in Russia appeared its own adaptation of the series "4400" - "Other". In fact, the actions here unfold in about the same way, but with domestic flavor.
How many seasons are there in it?
The first episode of the first season premiered in July 2004. The season was trial and therefore very short - only 5 episodes. The next three also came out in the summer, when almost no premieres of new series are scheduled. But they turned out to be noticeably longer - in the second there were twelve episodes, and in the third and fourth - thirteen.
The last episode of the series was released on June 16, 2007. So, if you do not like to wait for the release of new series, this series is definitely suitable for you - you can watch all 43 series at once.
Main characters
Of course, one of the strengths of the series "4400" - the actors. Therefore, it is worth telling about them, at least briefly.
Of course, the main characters are FBI agents Tom Baldwin and Diana Skoris.
The role of Baldwin was brilliantly performed by actor Joel Gretch. Even before this project, he starred in many popular series and feature films. First of all, they are “Married ... with children”, “Impudent and beautiful”, “Friends”, “The legend of Bagher Vance”, “The Imperial Club and many others.
Agent Diana Skoris was perfectly played by Australian actress Jacqueline Mackenzie. On her account more than fifty roles in series and films. For example, you can name “Traps”, “Primitive Country”, “Angel”, “Mr. Reliability”, “Deep Blue Sea”, “Eisenstein”. Mostly these films are popular in her homeland - in Australia, where she is considered one of the most recognizable and popular actresses. But all over the world they have not gained such wide popularity.
The remaining characters in the series are mostly episodic or, at least, do not appear in each series. Therefore, we will not paint each of them.
TV series reviews
On the Internet, you can read a lot of comments and reviews on the series "4400". Mostly they are positive.
