Traveler 23Aug07

This is not going to be one of those raving reviews of a tv show where after 4 weeks the show gets cancelled and the viewers get stuck with nothing. At least this show already has 6 shows under the belt and I don’t think it will get cancelled, like ‘Drive’ did.

Traveler is a hot new TV Show from ABC, if you are a fan of Prison Break, you will like this one too. The plot goes something like this: Two graduate students are framed for a terrorist attack in New York (by a third student, the roommate they believed was their friend) and must fight to prove their innocence while fleeing the federal agents who pursue them.

The first episode had so much suspense, it kept me glued to my chair. After three episodes I had a ‘24’ feeling. You know, where the episode ends and you go crazy because you want to see all remaining episodes immediately (although lately I kind of lost that feeling with 24).

The reason I like it so much is because it is believable, the action is fast and it has a thriller feel to it. Although I must admit thinking how can this show survive more then two or three seasons. Just like with prison break you can only run for so long.

Suspenseful and adrenaline filled, I will be certain to watch this entire first season. Maybe a show primed to make a really successful summer run.

p.s.
Remember I told you about ‘Drive’? It looks like the 2 remaining episodes are going to be broadcasted, according to this article...

update …

Looks like Veronica is going to air Traveler starting september 3rd. So far only 8 episodes were made. The show isn’t offically cancelled; it just hasn’t been renewed. Which really isn’t fair since the show was hardly promoted and given a terrible time slot on ABC. If you want to try to save Traveler there is a petition at this website. Still worth watching, I say!
