Product Description

Kiefer Sutherland (24) makes a triumphant return to TV in this smart and hopeful drama about the ties that bind all of us together. Single father Martin Bohm (Sutherland) struggles to raise his emotionally challenged son Jake. But Martin soon discovers that Jake possesses an amazing gift: the ability to see the hidden patterns of numbers that connect every life on the planet. With the help of a brilliant professor (Danny Glover), Martin learns to communicate with Jake and help people around the world. Blending science and spirituality, this unique series will touch you in ways you never thought possible.

Math, Mysticism and a Mixed Bag

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 6, 2012

Suspension of disbelief is the key with a speculative drama like Touch and I'm generally pretty easy, but more and more often I find myself jarred out of the narrative by bad writing, bad acting or just plain ridiculousness of premise. Yet at the same time I don't stop watching either. The viewer is supposed to believe that a savant boy (or as it develops a group of savant children who turn out to be the 32 righteous people God keeps the world going for) are supposed to save the world; I suppose it saves us the trouble of taking responsibility putting it off on especially vulnerable children like that. Jake, the boy in question, communicates through numbers, and his father finally figures out how and follows the numbers every week to solve a personal problem for people connected in the six degrees of separation. If Keefer Sutherland has to bring import to the line "Jake is trying to tell me something!" one more time I think he should petition SAG for bad working conditions. I'm sure he feels the same based on his line delivery.

We are also supposed to believe that children's services in New York State are filled with mid-town real estate of empty playrooms and new toys and caseworkers who spend an entire afternoon taking one client to the park. Yes, it turns out that an evil corporation wants the boy for his abilities with the Fibonacci sequence and the ability of the dodecahedron to kill, but the caseworkers are supposed to be legit and acting as puppets for the evil corporation. Each week the larger arc is added to, with varying degrees of success and one or more smaller mysteries are solved with Jake's numbers and the six degrees game. The formula is getting a bit stale though and not enough believable information is being added to the larger storyarc of why a mathematic savant, or even several of them, have more than the obvious corporate value. I do keep watching, but partly to see how the writers are going to punch their way out of the corner they are in. I know the tone of this review has been a bit sarcastic, and I am actually sorry to report my findings. I like scripted dramas and even more I like dramas in the speculative or science fiction category. I really am reluctant to report this as math, mysticism and a mixed bag.

Kiefer Sutherland - TOUCH - We Want More!!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

I hit play on this Pilot and had my fiance join me. We have been Kiefer fans for a long time. We sat through this Pilot glued to every scene, interaction, twist, and turn. The episode was engaging, nail-biting, progressive, and flowed nicely. At the end, my fiance asked if we could watch the next one. To my heartbreak and her disappointment I had to explain that this was only a Pilot and no other episodes were available. Needless to say, we are asking for more!!!

To give you a more detailed review of the episode in critics terms, here are my thoughts...

The show starts off with constant frustration with seemingly random and unfortunate events, which keep you interested long enough until the scene switches to the next event. This continues through the episode and circles back revealing a bit more each time. For this reason, it is a interesting to watch. It is expected that all these random things will eventually come together at the end, but the details are what make the story worth watching. The writing is very creative, thought out and meshes well.

My only concerns are...

Was this a one hit wonder where we have seen the best of the creative writing?
Will they be able to find meaningful and engaging connections in patterns for future shows?
If so, for how many future shows?

Reality is, patterns and events can go on for a long time, the real question lies in how well these will be written and meshed together to keep the audience engaged.

A true challenge, but I still hope to see more of this show in the near future. I commit to seeing all episodes released.

Cheers.

MUCH TO OFFER - WHEN ALLOWED

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 16, 2014

Verified Purchase

Martin's wife died 9/11. Now he may lose son Jake too. The eleven year old lives in a world of his own, unable to communicate - except by numbers that mystify. Martin, once an esteemed reporter, takes on menial work to be more with his boy. Urgently he needs to prove to doubtful authorities that he can cope.

On a purely personal level, the situation has moving potential, but the series offers far more than that. Jake has special powers that cause him to realize when connections binding us together become disturbed. He knows what is needed to set everything back on course. If only Martin could understand the significance of the numbers he presents!

Kiefer Sutherland and David Mazouz work well as father and son. There is genuine delight (and relief) as those numbers begin to make sense. Disturbingly, sinister powers-that-be recognize Jake's potential and seek any excuse to have him placed in their care. They have plans for him.

Twelve episodes, the twelfth double length. In them tragedies are averted and friendships made. Events in different countries, even out in space, are ingeniously interwoven - they connected in ways never suspected. Amongst the cast Titus Welliver is of special interest, he as a lottery winner with links to Martin that surprise.

With so much to intrigue, why only three stars? I was driven to distraction by the music track. For the most part it is unnecessary, achieving nothing of worth. Often it is a nuisance. Occasionally it infuriates.

Examples? Most of what Kiefer Sutherland says comes from a barely opened mouth. Usually this is no problem, husky near-whispers part of his attraction. Difficulties occur whenever music competes. The height of absurdity? Jake never speaks - except to us at the start and end of each episode. Here are words of great significance, indicating why he thinks the way he does. How many viewers can honestly claim to hear all he has to say? How can accompanying music at such times be justified?

Modest extras describe the aim of the series and how Jake's skills are perhaps not as far-fetched as they seem.

The show has promise, but its impact is unnecessarily impaired.

A good drama

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 2, 2022

I think the drama was very good and find that Kiefer Sutherland 's performance was very good as well as the other actors . A different take from his "24" Jack Bauer character.Would recommend to any one who is fan of Tim Kring's work and Kiefer Sutherland.

Amazing

I think Touch is an amazing TV show. It is unique, well crafted and gripping and I here never been more hooked into anything. I was very disappointed when it didn't get renewed past the second season but at least I own the series so I can watch again and again. Too many decent tv shows have been cancelled and this one shouldn't be because it is amazing.
