Touch Premiered on FOX on January 25, 2012
Through masterful storytelling, the series follows a group of seemingly unrelated characters - beginning with a former firefighter tormented by his inability to save a dying woman, an Iraqi teenager who will go to great risks to help his family, a gifted singer whose actions at a karaoke bar save lives thousands of miles away and a British businessman desperately trying to retrieve a key piece of information from his lost mobile phone - who affect each other in ways seen and unseen.
At the center is MARTIN BOHM (Kiefer Sutherland, "24"), a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his mute, severely autistic 11-year-old son, JAKE. Caring, intelligent and thoughtful, Martin has tried everything to reach his son who shows little emotion and never allows himself to be touched by anyone, including Martin. Jake busies himself with cast-off cell phones, disassembling them and manipulating the parts, allowing him to see the world in his own special way.
A very strong pilot but you really need an open mind to really enjoy this show and so much has happened in this one episode who would of thought buying an oven would stop a suicide bomber . That telephone operator did a fantastic job i am sure that it wasn't manual in her work orientation . Does anyone think he will hook up with that women ?

I really enjoyed the show, I'm not sure if it was that I miss a good Kiefer Sutherland show, or if this is really going to be worthy of following. My only issue with this show is I wonder if they are going to fall into a pattern, where they find a formula that works for the show, lather, rinse and repeat.
Time will tell, but as far as pilots go....this was a win for me. Author: codebreaker Time: 1-28-2012 15:02 Subject: Reply 9#9 bala's post
