s01e13 — Paul is Dead

It's a wonderful series. It's a pity that it's so short.

The series is very decent..But there are still a lot of questions!!!

I read the English sources, and it turned out that the series with good ratings in the first week of launch was simply pushed into the background due to the events in Iraq. In fact, the potential hit was not even given a firm "stand on its feet"(( Sadness... On the other hand, you even feel some kind of involvement in something very rare and secret due to the fact that the series did not become pop, did not slide, but ended on a high note and not everyone knows about it, but only the chosen lucky ones))

From the English wiki:

Regarding the failure of the show, Skeet Ulrich said: "The most annoying thing is that it took off. It was really good. We were the show that aired after the Super Bowl and we had over 10 million viewers. And then Bush started bombing Iraq, and we were forced off the air to cover military operations. And then, because we lost the pace, they shifted the day of the week we were on the air [sic] and didn't tell people about it. It was a strange combination of reasons why he didn't last. But he took off. She had a huge audience, things were going well, and the stories were good. So it wasn't something that we or the fans did. It wasn't a failure. It just wasn't the right time at that moment. And that's unfortunate, because I think he still had a lot of stories left-like Jericho-but then between "Desert Storm" and the way the networks do things, he just disappeared."

There are only rave reviews about this series on English forums, and already for 2003 (year of release) and later. Everyone is wondering how the series, which was warmly received by critics and had a good start, suddenly has no sequel. Those TV bosses who close such worthy shows and release a hundred thousand seasons of a mind-numbing pop product are ready to knock on the head.

An amazing series. One of my favorites now. But it's a bit bitter to read that he is compared to the Supernatural everywhere, given the year of shooting - 2003. After watching "Holy Watch", I realized that Supernatural (also a favorite show) brazenly stole almost all the ideas and even the main storyline about Paul and where people with superpowers are killed, because the "voice" tells them what these people will do in the future, and that Paul has a purpose and a gift, he can follow the path of Darkness or Light. It's a Sam Winchester story, just in a slightly different style. They stole other people's ideas (from a little-known and undeservedly closed series) and served them with a different sauce, adding more special effects, making the plot more colorful and dynamic. And if you remove Evelyn, then you would actually get the original "Kripke idea" about two investigative journalists who investigate such cases.

"Miracles" is a completely original idea, in a semi-documentary style a la "X-files", which makes you literally plunge into the atmosphere of mysticism and believe the main characters and what is happening on the screen without a trace, with all your soul.

It is very sad for the fate of "Miracles" (((This series deserved more than to become the basis for a more successful plagiarism - "Supernatural"...

The actress who plays Evelyn is terrible! Her character lost a child, and in the scene where she allegedly sobs, her mascara didn't even smudge, I'm not talking about dry cheeks, I just couldn't squeeze out a single tear. What a pitiful sight! How she spoils everything ((( Against the background of Skeet and Angus, who live their characters, her "game" cannot even be called a game. How did the producers mess with her, to take such squalor into such a series "just to have a pretty woman in the frame." Pzdc.
