I can't believe this show got cancelled! Is USA nuts? I didn't get into it until late in the game and there was such an underground buzz about this show during its run. There are so many detective shows on (CSI has THREE versions!) but this show really stood out. The X-files created a not-so-niche market for an off the center, intelligent, quirky, creepy, and even funny show that has yet to have its shoes filled in, and desperately needs to! Touching Evil had all those elements and then some. I've been waiting to buy the DVD so I could watch the episodes I missed in the beginning. What a gip. I'm SO disappointed. This show NEEDS to come back on the air! It was TOO GOOD to get cancelled! UGH! Sign up for the DVD title so we Touching Evilites at least get that! I miss Detective Creegan!

How could USA be so STUPID?! Shows like this take time to GROW and develop. Touching Evil is an awesome show and it's probably the best serious crime drama I've seen since the beginnings of the X-Files.

If you liked the shows Millennium or the first half of the X-Files you'll love Touching Evil.

This show combines all the stuff lovers of true crime and serial killers want: action, drama, REALISM, an awesome soundtrack, good acting, and some really evil plots. CSI and the other crime shows are just too clean and too perfect. There's no really evil people or plots.

Where's Hannibal Lector when you need him?

Most of the episodes are available on the file sharing networks but I really hope USA will get SOME sense and release it on DVD.

With reality television, churn-out teenage soap-operas, and lazy sitcoms taking over the primetime programming schedule, people forget what a great show is. Because of this, great shows don't get watched and then producers and writers don't want to take the risk of doing something original since television demographics aren't quite intellegent enough to get it. Touching Evil had guts to put such an original and daring show on the airwaves run by ratings. Unfortunately, great shows don't always get rewarded.

Now cancelled after only a one season (a short mid-season show at that), the twelve episodes it had was filled to the fullest of quality, probably being the most original detective drama of its time. You know how someone says "detective drama" and you get that certain image in your head? Touching Evil is not that image. I shouldn't even be putting it in the genre. The show is also very visually intriguing, from hallucinations to schizo-fantasies, every episode is an eye-catcher. Not to mention being supported by beautiful, melodic yet trippy musical score by 12 Rounds' Atticus & Leo Ross.

The main character, Creegan, is lovable as the semi-sane detective adapting to every person he ever interrogates. Jeffrey Donovan plays it over-the-top, but in a good way. His energy reflects on the kinetics of the show and the unique storylines within each episodes. There is a few emotional arcs, and I was sad to see it go since I'm sure the second season would bring full story-arcs to plague our characters.

I can't find a good show that is currently starting this season, so I was heartbroken when I heard of Touching Evil's cancellation. Although, I'm sure it would have been picked up by another channel if producer Bruce Willis tried a little harder.

So our only hope to see this show again is the DVD. This show, now cancelled, needs to gain the cult status it respectfully deserves so it isn't forgotten. Even if you've never heard of this show, please sign up for the DVD so it gets released. You won't be sorry, trust me.

I do not understand how such a great show can get cancelled while the other networks load up with reality shows that stink. Reality shows are the worst thing to hit television since commericals. USA should reconsider Touching Evil.

A good series killed well before its time. It had good character, good plots, great music, great everything. I can't wait for such a thing to come out on DVD.

I'm British, so I grew up with the original Touching Evil, with Robson Green, but this version, an American version, is superb.
You've done yourselves very proud guys and gals.

USA on the other hand, what the!! How could they cancel a brilliant, eary, touching show like this. It's something that stands out from the crowd, and I truelly hope that it's picked up by someone, somwhere to continue on.

I got given a taped version of the Pilot, as a favour, and I thought that the acting, plot and general 'thought' that had gone into it was above par with most of what I see nower days.

It's one of those shows like Joan of Arcadia that you know should have been given a longer lease on life. You can't truelly apreciate how much I want to see this show brought back.

I'm going to cross a few palms with silver to see if I can get some copys of the whole run, thus far, of this season.

Please PLEASE enter your email address to say that you want info on when this series will be released. It's the only thing that big companys understand.

Bring this show back, it's one in a million.

I am still in shock!!How could USA network kill the only GREAT series it has ever had??Touching Evil was and still is the best character driven show. Creegan lives!At least release the series on dvd so that people can rediscover this gem--unlike the trash you have now,such as :Kojak"What a Maroooon.

I have been shopping on Amazon for years, have bought hundreds of books and DVDs, and I have never written a review before. I won't get the series from file sharing...unless it never gets released by USA for purchase. I loved this show and would buy a copy for everyone I know. It may have been one of those shows that was ahead of its time for television when it ran in 2004. It is more than half way through 2006 and, if it were released now, it would probably be the greatest hit USA ever released.

We have already waited too long for the DVD. Please release it NOW. Fellow "Touching Evil" lovers: be sure to sign up to be notified when it is finally available. Every one of us who does makes it more possible that we will be able to see this fine show again.

Finally a tv series comes out that is incredibly awesome. I agree - USA made a mistake and someone needs to pick this show up and give it another chance (preferably with the sames actors)

Touching Evil on USA Network was such a wonderful, wonderful show. Unfortunately, I, like many of the reviewers, found it late in the season. And now I'm looking for my "Touching Evil fix", but I see it's not even available! How do we get it to come back, and how do we get USA to release it on DVD? I've emailed USA Networks already.
