Check out NOWHERE MAN (Image), in my opinion best TV series of the 90s, now in a complete 9 disc, 19 hour, DVD set. Whether you think the new revelations of the government spying on its own citizens is ominous or not (Hey, how much freedom are you willing to give up to feel the illusion of security?) this superior sci-fi thriller is a lot more real than it was.
You don't have to be especially paranoid to sense the authenticity behind this series. Brutal executions are real, witnesses in hiding or on the run are real and so are global conspiracies.
Dare to plunge into the nightmare of photographer Thomas Vell's world where every aspect of his life is being erased. One evening his wife doesn't recognize him, his credit cards are invalid, his keys don't fit the door and his family and friends are being silenced. What's going on? What has he seen? And just what "agency" has deleted a photograph of a third world execution he took?
Go on the run with Vell as he fights to survive long enough to find the answers.

I was a big fan of nowhere man when it was on tv 10 years ago, and rewatching it now it is still a good show. Yes, the middle of the series seemed almost like padding out the show so it had enough stories for a whole season, but otherwise it was fantastic. The one big annoyance I would have with it is the ending was not explained well enough; it left more questions than answers. But otherwise it was great; the DVD is fabulous in presentation too. A lot of commentary on episodes, promos and such like, it is one of the best releases I have come across in extras. The only other small problem I had was no pictures of hidden agenda in photo galleries or similar. Otherwise a fantastic show with great DVD presentation.

I believe had this series come out a few years later instead of when it did, it would have lasted at least 5 seasons. Nowhere Man was a brilliant, mysterious, intriguing series with twists and surprises, and there was nothing like it on television at the time. A few years later, several new shows appeared on television with similar style, and they were successful. Nowhere Man is comparable with great ones like "ALIAS" and "24". It is suspenseful and leaves your mouth hanging open with surprise.

Nowhere Man is a series that I believe was very very underrated. I know here in Australia, they showed it very late at night and they would show it some weeks, miss a few weeks and then start it up again, so I never got to see it completely because you never knew what Channel 7 would do (neither do they).
The first episode is amazing and mysifying. Thoms Veil is dining in a restaurant with his wife after his photo's were on display in his gallery. He goes to the bathroom - gone no more than 5 minutes - comes out and his wife isn't at their usual table, the staff don't know him, he goes to his house and his wife 'doesn't know who he is' and she's with another husband etc etc. While he doesn't know what's going on, he's sure it has something to do with a photo he took. 'They' think he knows something he shouldn't and each and every episode from there follows him trying to uncover the truth. It is funny watching such a fantastic show that back in it's day was 'high tech' and yet now looking back on it, he has no modern day items such as a cell phone or laptop.
You must check this out because it's truly stunning and gripping. Not all the episodes give you clues to the final outcome - in fact sometimes you are more puzzled at the end of an episode than you were at the beginning, but this is such good entertainment and will keep you guessing right to the exciting end. I also love the haunting and stunning theme this show has - another well written theme by Mark Snow. Please go and watch this - if you love good thrillers, then this is for you. It's great.

Great show, blending sci-fi, horror, mystery, and drama. I like Nowhere Man for the same reason that I love The Prisoner, as both shows deal with oppressive forces at work in modern-day civilization. But where The Prisoner focuses on deliberate, thought-provoking, and highly symbolic social commentary, Nowhere Man focuses on entertainment. That makes The Prisoner edgier and more experimental (and better, to fringe viewers like me), but it also makes Nowhere Man far more approachable to a mainstream audience.
Be seeing you.
