Touch

I loved 24 and was so sad when it went off the air.  Jack Bauer was such a G.  I find it extremely hard to find new shows to fall in love with once my favorite's go off the air.  LOST was another big heartache.  

I recently had been seeing previews/commercials for this new show called "Touch" on Fox.  Kiefer Sutherland is in it and the commercials I had seen looked amazing.  Jack and I decided to Tivo it on Wednesday night.  We watched it last night and it was AMAZE-ING.  Seriously, it was fabulous.  The only downfall was I thought this was the season premier and this was actually just a PILOT PREVIEW!  The show doesn't start until March 19th!!!  I will have to wait that long to watch it again.  So sad but definitely will be worth the wait.  

If you loved Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer, you will love him as Martin Bohm.  You can view the pilot HERE to catch up.  Then stay turned for the season premier on March 19th!

We are all interconnected. Our lives are invisibly tied to those whose destinies touch ours.

Blending science, spirituality and emotion, the series will follow seemingly unrelated people all over the world whose lives affect each other in ways seen and unseen, known and unknown. At the story’s center is MARTIN BOHM (Kiefer Sutherland), a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his emotionally challenged 11-year-old son, JAKE (David Mazouz). Caring, intelligent and thoughtful, Martin has tried everything to reach his son. But Jake never speaks, shows little emotion, and never allows himself to be touched by anyone, including Martin. Jake is obsessed with numbers—writing long strings of them in his ever-present notebooks—and with discarded cell phones.

Social worker CLEA HOPKINS (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) believes that Jake’s needs are too serious for Martin to handle. She sees a man whose life has become dominated by a child he can no longer control. She believes that it’s time for the state to intervene. So Jake is placed in foster care, despite Martin’s desperate objections.

But everything changes after Martin meets ARTHUR TELLER (Danny Glover), a professor and an expert on children who possess special gifts when it comes to numbers. Martin learns that Jake possesses an extraordinary gift—the ability to perceive the seemingly hidden patterns that connect every life on the planet. While Martin wants nothing more than to communicate directly with his son, Jake connects to his father through numbers, not words. Martin realizes that it’s his job to decipher these numbers and recognize their meaning. As he puts the pieces together, he will help people across the world connect as their lives intersect according to the patterns Jake has foreseen.

Martin’s quest to connect with his son will shape humanity’s destiny.
