Not to be confused with the Elmore Leonard novel and its movie version, this TOUCH is about a dad and his autistic son. The son can put numbers together in a way to predict future events. Dad gloms onto this fact, and uses that knowledge to help people. Keifer Southerland of "24" fame is the dad. "24" had a gimmick, and so does this show, in that the kid's efforts affect people o a worldwide scale. So we cut to people and events all round the globe. Well written, but too gimmicky for my taste. We'll see how it goes over time. I must admit I was never a "24" fan, although I do like Sutherland well enough. And you have seen this before: Remember a movie called "Mercury Rising" with Bruce Willis? How about "Knowing" with Nic Cage?
