    Wow.. Fantastic

    John Corbett (Who I first saw in another series called Northern Frontiers) is marvellous in this series... Empathic,kindhearted yet mysterious like a wandering magician, while being hounded by the government who desperately seeks to get what they think he hides..

    Unfortunately only 13 episodes was made of this series,but I like so many fans of this great series hopes that the series will be picked up again, so that we may learn more about the Character Adam McArthur..

    He is truly a mystery waiting to be solved, an enigma waiting for an answer..

    Seems like 13 really is an unlucky number, doesn't it?

    Prey, Crusade, Visitor: all examples of great shows that have gotten the ax after 13 episodes. It's unfortunate, really, because I've enjoyed watching these shows from taped episodes as well as showings on SciFi. Visitor is a very well written show, although iffy in a few spots. The actors did a great job, and I hope that they film either a few more eps or maybe a TV movie to tie loose ends.

    Quality

    This is a quality show, from the well-written scripts, to the carefully-chosen cast to the amazing plot line. There are patronizing cheap outs here. Even the things that go unexplained are well-presented so as to enhance believeability. It deserved a longer run (or, at least, a movie).
