a5c7b9f00b Bruce Greenwood stars as documentary photographer Thomas Veil who, in the course of one evening, seemingly has his whole existence erased, in the compelling one-hour drama Nowhere Man. It appears as if some mysterious and powerful entity has coerced Veil's family and friends into cooperating in a clandestine plan to annul every trace of him. Veil is all alone with no option but to begin a desperate, dangerous quest to find out how and why this has happened and most importantly, who is behind this torturous scheme.
I agree. Bring this show back! What a treat this show was to watch. Its strength starts from the superb camera work. Excellent use of light and camera angles. Beautiful use of metaphoric plots and camera shots. Creepy music is perfect. Plot runs on TWO levels. Each show the main character must overcome a barrier and "win" out over the bad guys (if you can figure out who the bad guys are) - that part is typical, but what makes the show really sparkle is the series to series detective work the viewer must do to put the pieces of each show together to reveal what is REALLY going on. And that work causes your imagination to spin out of control. "What is really happening (or happened) to the main character?" The sharp acting really boasts the show. A shame UPN pulled the series. I guess it was just too smart for TV. One last thing: I found the show perfect for the paranoid conspiracy theory times we live in. The show portrays individualism verse orwellian control so well it sends shivers down your spine.
I didn't find out about this series until it was halfway through so I didn't get to watch all of the episodes unfortunately. I even missed the final episode!! =( Those I watched were truly amazing. Only other cinematic event which has pleased me as much as Nowhere Man is the movie Memento. I'm really hoping for a rerun or a DVD release.
