Movie Reviews of Miracles - The Complete Series
Movie Review: Hurray!
Summary: 5 Stars
Obviously I haven't seen the actual DVD yet but will soon, as they will be released in about two months and I'm definitely preordering. This series was a political hot potato that ABC took a chance on because of its quality and potential, but any broadcast network show that blatantly takes on the Catholic church (by making the higher-ups look like bloodless bureaucrats) must expect some fallout. They got it, and since the ratings weren't spectacular "Miracles" flailed and was yanked from the spring 2004 schedule. Definite candidate for Trio's "Brilliant But Cancelled" showcase.
So, what is "Miracles"? It's a kind of amalgam of "The X-Files," "The Exorcist," and "The Twilight Zone," just to give you a feel for what the show is like in general. It's about a young priest (Skeet Ulrich) whose job is to investigate alleged miracles, with an eye to authenticating any such legitimate event. These miracles are always bogus, and he is therefore brought to a place where he has serious doubts about his faith, and when he is the beneficiary of what he believes to be an actual miracle that his higher-ups don't want to know about, he quits his job and finds his way to employment with a fellow investigator (Angus McFadyen) who is investigating the same thing....but has some disturbing information about the miracle the younger priest had experienced.
I've been scrounging the 'net for months waiting for a DVD to be made available, and here it is. Although there are only 13 episodes and obviously there'll be no final payoff of the story, the episodes I saw in the U.S. were extraordinary in terms of stories and production values. Ulrich is not the greatest actor in the world, but neither was David Duchovny of "The X-Files," so I can live with that. These are fascinating tales of imaginative fiction, and most shortcomings can be overlooked.
It's not surprising that a TV series of this quality would fall through the cracks in these days of reality TV and the need of the networks to cut costs (mediocre ratings not acceptable unless program is relatively cheap to produce, as are reality and news shows), so let's just be happy "Miracles" was given the go-ahead in the first place....although ABC ultimately displayed the typical network short-sightedness of axing a program that had just begun to find its audience.
Summary of Miracles - The Complete Series
The ABC network drama finally comes to DVD! Includes 7 Episodes Never Before Aired in the U.S.!Paul Callan (Skeet Ulrich) is an investigator of modern miracles whose own faith becomes tested with each new mundane explanation. Then something happens that changes everything. A young boy with the power to heal saves Paul?s life ? and pays for it with his own. But before the boy dies, they both see the words "God Is Now Here" written in Paul?s blood, launching Paul on an odyssey of paranormal investigation and spiritual awakening.
Paul finds a kindred spirit in a former Harvard professor turned investigator of the occult (Angus Macfadyen), who opens Paul?s eyes to the growing number of "strange occurrences" that may signal a much more sinister revelation. Teaming up with a former police officer (Marisa Ramirez), these investigators explore the unexplained and try to find a solution to the coming "darkness" before it's too late.
