Starring: Michael T. Weiss, Andrea Parker, Patrick Bauchau

Summary: The Pretender is the story of Jarod, a boy-genius taken from his family as a child. Jarod possesses the ability to quickly learn and impersonate different jobs and occupations. His abductors, a facility simply known as The Centre, tested his abilities through various simulations.

But after years of these performances, Jarod becomesThe Pretender is the story of Jarod, a boy-genius taken from his family as a child. Jarod possesses the ability to quickly learn and impersonate different jobs and occupations. His abductors, a facility simply known as The Centre, tested his abilities through various simulations.

But after years of these performances, Jarod becomes wise to the fact that these simulations aren't being used to help people. The Centre sells the sims to the highest bidder to do with as they please, whether it is for good or evil purposes. Knowing this, he breaks free from his captors. Now, as an adult, Jarod sets out to find his family. Along the way, he befriends many people, righting any wrong by using his abilities to become anyone he wants to be.

But the Centre has a lot invested in Jarod, and they won't give him up easily. They recruit Sydney, his father-figure and trainer all through his time growing up in The Centre. Sydney is the only man who is close to Jarod, he knows how he thinks. Also in pursuit is Miss Parker, Jarod's childhood friend whose father runs The Centre. Both are aided by Broots, a nervous computer whiz who goes above and beyond the call of duty (whether he wants to or not).

The Pretender ran for four years on NBC. TNT co-produced two Pretender movies with Twentieth Century Fox TV. The Pretender 2001 premiered on TNT Monday, January 22, 2001 at 8PM. The second movie, The Pretender: Island of the Haunted, premiered on TNT Monday, December 10, 2001 at 8PM ET.

Season 2 ended with a big bang and cliffhanger. Even Jarod is hit hard by the events while a secret of the past is revealed and as always creates new questions. Season 3 is again a mor of the same approach without the overall story arc. As general set up: The series is about Jarod which hasSeason 2 ended with a big bang and cliffhanger. Even Jarod is hit hard by the events while a secret of the past is revealed and as always creates new questions. Season 3 is again a mor of the same approach without the overall story arc. As general set up: The series is about Jarod which has the mental capability to impersonate other peoples mindset to near perfection (=Pretender). This make him the ultimate problem solver. He got abducted by an organization as a child which used him for their (often shady) gains and he escaped as a young adult. The series is about him searching for his family and using his ability to help other people while the organization tries to get him back. The series is a bit like The A-Team. Jarod solves the problem of the week with his abilities and continues. The overarching story arcs are the search for his family, the hunt for him and the many shady secrets of the organization. Also Jarod is quite unfamiliar with many things he did not experience so he is a bit unworldly (Sweet's, toys, comics etc.) but is now acclimated to most things. This season works really well and I think it is my favorite. Jarod takes some of his best roles and the final twist is remarkable. Also there is a crossover with “Profiler”. This episode starts the story and in the “Profiler episode “Grand Master” concludes the story. Overall I like the more of the same approach as we get quite a lot of interesting stories. The charming cast makes it a good show.… Expand
