A Standout Show That Only Gets Better! July 14, 2004
Janet L. Rogers (Claremont, NC USA)
I was mildly interested in the DVD set when I saw it in a local store. Until then I had never heard of it. I FINALLY picked it up and was totally blown away by the great writing, good acting, and uniqueness of this show!! DEFINITELY worth EVERY dime!!
Fan from the beginning May 24, 2004

I have been hooked to this TV series since it's pilot in June of 2002. As a big fan of Stephen King, the author of the book The Dead Zone, I had to at least give it a try. I wasn't disappointed! Week after week, it's spellbinding and never fails to please. When I heard the first season was coming out on DVD, I had to get it...and did! pNow I hear that season 2 is coming to DVD June 8, 2004 and WILL be getting that as well. Season 3 starts June 6, 2004 and I'm ready to begin watching it again. Actually I was ready with the season finale last year.pI HIGHLY recommend this DVD set, as well as Season 2, to everyone. And be sure to catch the new season!!!
 A very pleasant suprise!!! May 8, 2004

Johnny Smith ( Anthony Michael Hall) is an energetic and popular teacher who is engaged to a woman named Sarah (Nicole de Boer)who he has loved his entire life. Unfortunately, Johnny gets into a near fatal car accident that puts him into a coma for 6 years. When Johnny wakes up 6 years after the accident, his life goes through some major changes. The first is that Sarah has moved on with her life and is married to a man named Walt( Chris Bruno)who is the town sheriff. To make matters worse, Sarah was pregnant with Johnny's son that has been raised by Walt, and his son has no idea who Johnny really is. The second and most important change, is that the accident awakened a part of the brain, which is refered to as the Dead Zone which allows Johnny to receive visions from the past and the future whenever he touches someone or a physical object related to a particular person. Now as Johnny attempts to begin a new life, he must adjust to his abilities and use them to help those in need.pUp until very recently, I was extremely skeptical about this show for two different reasons. The first and most obvious reason was because Anthony Michael Hall played the lead character. Most people including myself have only seen Anthony play nerdy characters in John Hughes movies, and other roles in unknown B films. The second reason why I was always skeptical, was because I figured that there was no way that a weekly television show could be made dealing with the characters from Stephen King's book and the film, because it is a story that is pretty specific and hard to stretch out. However, since the show has received very positive reviews, I decided to put my skepticism aside and give the first season a try. pAfter recently finishing the first season on this DVD set, all I can say is that I was seriously impressed and literally blown away at how good this show turned out to be. Anthony Michael Hall shows that he is actually a very decent actor and does a wonderful job as Johnny Smith. He makes the character extremely believeable and easy to connect with. The show also features a great mix of romance, drama, and suspense with all of the visions that Johnny receives. You also get wrapped up in watching Johnny trying to adjust to his new life and dealing with the fact that the woman he loves is married to someone else. The reason I could only give the first season of The Dead Zone four stars however, is because there were a few episodes that were rather boring and slow moving. But, at least 10 out of the 13 episodes are fantastic. The DVD set overall offers some pretty cool extras as well like interviews with guest stars, a preview of season 2, commentary, etc.. All I can say is that I am definately a fan of this show now, and I plan on purchasing the season 2 DVD set as soon as June 8th arrives.pA solid 4 stars...
A GREAT NEW SHOW May 6, 2004
Emily Bailey (Davenport, IA United States)
When I accidentally stumbled on this show when my dad rented the first season, I was hooked from the very first episode. It is a great show, and doesn't have a lot of moments when you would think, "this would never happen in real life." With a lot of TV shows getting cancelled like X Files, Buffy, and now Angel will be gone after this season I think this show should be supported because of it's orginal storylines.
