Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
A grabber from the start, quickly moving beyond the sci-fi label to uncharted drama territory. Its tale - executive produced by Francis Ford Coppola - takes place on Earth and in the present day, which should help attract sci-fi-resistant viewers. Even better, its situations are viscerally relatable, hardly as removed from our daily lives as so many other out-there allegories. [11 July 2004, p.11]

Season 1 Review:
The most impressive quality "The 4400" boasts is the fact that, after tonight's episode, there are any number of directions the drama could head. There hasn't been anything this wide-open unpredictable on TV in years, and for that reason alone, it's worth overlooking the premise's flaws and following this wherever it may head. [11 July 2004]

Season 1 Review:
If the concept is captivating, the execution, at least in the pilot, leaves something to be desired. [12 July 2004, p.e37]

Season 1 Review:
a promising, unprepossessing five-week series about the flip side of alien abduction. [9 July 2004]

Season 1 Review:
There is -- so far -- nothing remarkable about the miniseries, which is full of things you have seen before, sometimes tweaked and sometimes not. (There is nothing new under the sci-fi sun.) It’s fairly corny and way too serious, given the manifold opportunities it offers for humor. It plays strictly by the rules, so that one completely understands what one should feel about these characters without necessarily actually feeling it. But if you’re in a charitable mood, or indeed are an active connoisseur of B-grade science fiction, that may be enough. And there may be surprises ahead -- some revelation beyond expectation. I’m willing, even hoping, to be surprised.
