We have to believe that the CW is seriously starting to lack inspiration for its new series. After resetting Charmed, Roswell, and the Walker Texas Ranger, the sci-fi series The 4400 Jerry has come to be allowed a new iteration.
The sci-fi series from 2004 to 2007 on the USA Network, by Joel Gretz and Jacqueline McKenzie, quickly received critical acclaim, but a growing audience persuaded the channel to cancel it after only four seasons.
This new version of the 4400 follows the same conditions as the original with a few minor changes. A group of 4,400 people who have been missing for the past 100 years are suddenly reappearing in Detroit City Park.
Ghosts that have not aged a bit come from all over the world and from different eras, but do not remember what happened to them all these years. With the help of a social worker and a probation officer they will try to find out the secret around them.
For this more modern reinterpretation of the 4400, Anna Frick and Ariana Jackson, two showmakers, chose to place their work in direct motion on the Black Lives Matter. Adding to the mystery and science fiction is the social dimension: all people cut off from the time of relocation until 2021 are black and have been discriminated against in one way or another.
Jay Ladymore as Claudette, an American civil rights activist in the 1950s.
By the fortune of a doctor who served in World War I (played by TL Thompson), an influential woman in the American Civil Rights Movement in Mississippi in the 1950s (at Camp Jay Ledimore) and a pastor straight from the 90s (played by Derrick A. King), 4400 trying to bring us character mosaics , Who each, in their own way, opposed the form of racism.
If some of the messages are a bit harsh – we especially think about the white cops who torture the victim – and if the cast of actors – mostly unknown – sometimes leaves the desired, the mystery surrounding the case remains one. Strengths of the series, each episode offers a review of the character’s past life.
A mystery that, as for the original series, forces us to connect with a chain of episodes to learn more about this disappearance and the origin of their power.
Thus, the writers of this new formula have achieved new life by focusing on topical issues in a more or less subtle way. In short, the 4400 is a series that aims to be ambitious, but does not always live up to expectations.
