Editorial Review:

Season two of The 4400 ended not with one, but two shockers. First, baby Isabelle turned into a 20-year-old overnight (now played by Megalyn Echikunwoke). Then, it was revealed that Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell), who was believed dead, is still alive. The third year begins with more surprises. While Isabelle was aging, so was her mother, Lily (Tippi Hedren, replacing Laura Allen), who fast-forwards several decades. Suffice to say, her husband, Richard (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), is not pleased. Also, the Nova Group, a splinter organisation within the 4400, has started to eliminate those they perceive as their enemies—including their own. The 4400's third season was widely considered its weakest, but solid ratings justified a fourth. The pace doesn't pick up until Jordan's return--in real life, Campbell took off 13 months to sail the world--but the concept and the characters remain intriguing. For instance, Shawn (Patrick Flueger), head of the 4400 Center, embarks on a relationship with Isabelle, while his uncle, NTAC agent Tom (Joel Gretsch), gets bad news about wife Alana (Karina Lombard) and good news about son Kyle (Chad Faust). Dennis Ryland (Peter Coyote), meanwhile, moves from the NTAC into the private sector where he continues to micro-manage the 4400.

Recurring characters include Gary Navarro (Sharif Atkins), who joins the Nova Group, Dr. Burkoff (Jeffrey Combs), who injects himself with promicin--the mysterious substance associated with the 4400--and the sympathetic Tess (Summer Glau), who assists in his attempt to see if he can develop similar powers. Guest stars include Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact) as a woman with a special interest in Diana's adopted daughter Maia ("Gone") and Brian Dennehy (Cocoon) as Tom's father ("Blink"). As with season two, three features commentary from the cast and crew plus a trio of featurettes. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

• Cracking SC-FI Drama
  Make no mistake about this - ' Provided you don't Blink ' you should enjoy it.
  The story line is ramped up so much I had to replay several sequences again as twist and turns are all over the shop.
  Without a doubt the strongest story is ' Gone Part One / Part Two ' and at times its very chilling indeed.
  Conchita Campbell who plays ' Maia Skouris ' is exceptional and the ' Gone ' story line revolves around her.
  In fact this story gets to the whole heart of the complete series

• A lot more to offer
  The 1st 2 seasons steadily improved upon a simple formula. 4400 people who disappeared without a trace return all at once. It turns out they were abducted and have each been given a special power, but by who & why? It's those 2 questions that season 3 really starts to get it's teeth into. The little pre-cog girl mya tells her adopted mum she's going to forget about her and the story that follows opens up a whole new area that is more important than anything thats gone before. Just who took these people... more info

• Just keeps getting better
  4400 is one of the best if not the best TV series I have ever been into, back in season 1 I thought it was ok and worth a watch with a few good stand alone episodes, season 2 is where it really started to come alive and the program was given a serious direction in where the main storyline was heading also the main characters started to gain depth and develop. Season 2 impressed me but Season 3 is simply outstanding this to me is not probably but the best TV show around.
  There are a few good twists and... more info
