Point Pleasant: The Complete Series When a violent summer storm slams into the beach town of Point Pleasant, it brings with it the unconscious body of Christina Nickson. Rescued from the surf and taken to the home of a nearby doctor, the teenager is strangely reluctant to have anyone contact her family. For all her life, Christina has felt surrounded by a sense of wrongness, and now she’s determined to figure out why. Yet the longer Christina stays in Point Pleasant, the greater the supernatural and deadly impact she has on the people around her--an impact that is destined to lead to the ultimate confrontation between good and evil.
Does anyone else here own or seen this show? This is the series that knocked Tru Calling off the Fox line-up. And then only lasted 13 Episodes. What Fox was thinking... I have no idea. Just for the fact that this show did knock Tru Calling off the line-up made me not want to watch it when it aired. once it got canceled... and shortly after when the series was released on DVD I finally bit the bullet and bought the set... just for my pure love of the horror genre... still angry that it knocked off Tru Calling.
That was quite a while ago... and I just now finally got the urge to check it out. So far I only watched 2 episodes but my first impression was... with the pilot episode I was less then satisfied... but interested. It has a decent premise...
but it plays more like a teen age soap opera then the horror series I was expecting. But as I said... it did peak my interest. So I went on to episode 2. It still plays like a teen age soap opera... but I am getting even more into the storyline. It seems like the horror aspect of the series is a bit subdued in the first probably handful of episodes... but is emerging a little at a time as the character Christina is coming more and more into her powers. which makes sense and could be a good thing.
Over all so far I would have to say that I am less then impressed with the series.. but I do see the potential that the series has. Which makes me wonder... that if FOX would have put this series on
behind Tru Calling... and made it a theme night... whether or not both series would have grew into much stronger shows and could have been one of FOX's more popular nights on TV. But of course for that to happen... this show would have definitely needed to improve from this point... but it does seem to be going that way.
Any thoughts?
