Amazon.co.uk Review
A year has passed since 4400 abductees were returned to Earth (and six months since the original series ended). Richard (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), Lily (Laura Allen), and Isabelle are on the run from Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell) and others who would attempt to harm their child. Shawn (Patrick Flueger) has moved into Collier's cult-like 4400 Center. Then there are NTAC (National Threat Assessment Command) agents Diana (Jacqueline McKenzie) and Tom (Joel Gretsch). The former has officially adopted Maia (Conchita Campbell), while the latter is reunited with formerly comatose son Kyle (Chad Faust), Shawn's best friend. Almost everyone, returnees and otherwise, is changing. Jordan, for instance, is having more seizures (as a result of his first encounter with the eerie Isabelle), while Kyle is having blackouts. Along the way, new characters are introduced, like mute mental patient Kevin (Jeffrey Combs), who regains the ability to talk, thanks to Tess (Summer Glau, Serenity), the only returnee who can recall what happened to her. Others include Diana's sister April (Natasha Gregson Wagner), Jordan’s pal Matthew (Garret Dillahunt, Deadwood), and former NTAC supervisor Dennis Ryland (Peter Coyote), who returns to the fold. Guest stars include E.R. 's Sharif Atkins ("Voices Carry"), Star Trek: Voyager's Robert Picardo ("Weight of the World"), and Twin Peaks' Sherilyn Fenn ("Carrier"). The season will end much as the miniseries began, with the 4400 being released from another quarantine, setting the scene for the next year. Although the first set was a barebones release, the second features commentary from McKenzie, Gretsch, writer Craig Sweeny, and writer/producer Ira Steven Behr. --Kathleen C Fennessy

It's just one of those programmes that you either love or hate.
X-files, Taken and Heroes fans will probably all fall into the former although it doesn't have the diversity of X-files nor the humour of Heroes.
The 4400 - Series 2 - Complete [DVD] [2005] Reviews
Great Sc-Fi
Review date: 2009-02-01 Rating: 10 out of 10
Gripping and addictive. Just had to come back and get Series 3 and 4.
Twists and turns sometimes make it difficult to follow but it gets there eventually.
Very cool...

One of my favourite Sci-Fi shows - but, ignore what it says on the CD cases about commentary on some of the episodes, they aren't there for some reason... May be that they are only available on Region 1 or something, but it's kind of misleading to say they're on the Region 2 DVDs when they're not.
Wonderful show

The 4400 is my absolute favourite show and has on many occasions made me laugh and cry in the same episode. The compelling storylines make you want to watch the next one straight after to find out what happened next.
I can even over look the whole no extras thing.
A solid 3-star season
Review date: 2007-11-18 Rating: 6 out of 10
I thought the first season of `The 4400' was really entertaining television and very promising, with enough suspense and drama to equal Steven Spielberg's `Taken'. But then it went on to carve out it's own sci-fi persona with the surprise revelation in the final episode and I was very interested to begin the second season, especially with the glowing reviews on Amazon. But to my disappointment largely this season fails to deliver anywhere near as well as the previous one.
The problem for me was that often I just couldn't believe in the choices the characters made. Richard and Lilly escape from Jordan Collier at the end of season two, but that threat was never going to be sufficient, because Collier is a character whose motives remain grey in the early episodes of this season and so the writers introduce a very weak story device to increase the couple's anxiety and fears of settling down, spurring them to go on the run once more until (rather anti-climactically) in episode 4- `Suffer the Children' (6/10) they're brought back into the 4400 fold. It was also a mystery to me why Shawn stayed at Collier's side in those first handful of episodes when so often he demonstrated his arrogance, self-interest and abused his powers so readily.
Then episode 6- `Life Interrupted' (8/10) comes along and things start to improve. It begins quite predictably with Tom transported to an alternate reality where the 4400 never existed. But by the end, and with the introduction of new 4400 and love-interest Alana the scope for this series once again broadens. Unfortunately the following episodes don't really follow that trend by exploring the motives of those who created the 4400, but at least the final episode `Mommy's Bosses' (7/10) ties up the few loose ends and hints at some interesting themes in season three.
The scope felt so huge in the beginning, limitless even for the potential of stories for this show and I enjoyed some of the ideas in season two, but the story-arc spread across the season doesn't really grab the viewer and too often it feels as if the main protagonists behave totally out of character only so the season's story-arc can be allowed to develop. Still enjoyable stuff and I'll be tuning into season three to find out all that happens next...
