5.0 out of 5 stars Very intriguing, August 17, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Pretender Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I heard about The Pretender and maybe a few previews, but not being a TV watcher, I never saw a full episode. I discovered it on Hulu to see what the hubbub was about and found that they provided the pilot on Hulu Plus. Not wanting to pay for it, I found it on Amazon for only a couple of bucks. Finding this pilot ended up being a real treat and I enjoyed it. Great concept and am very interested in watching all of the episodes in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glad I found it on unbox, November 30, 2007
This review is from: The Pretender Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
I'm so glad Unbox has this series available. It was recommended to me by some of my friends, so when I saw it on Unbox, I bought the pilot and the first episode. I was very impressed with them.
