The Dead Zone (2002-2007) is a series based on an original novel by Stephen King about a man named Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall) who awoke from a coma to discover that he could touch people and see the future. The Dead Zone ran for six seasons on USA, mostly during the summer, and I reviewed it pretty much from the beginning; these reviews were originally posted on a couple of other sites that are no longer on the web.

Although the series did come to a satisfactory conclusion, the final seasons weren't as strong as the early ones (seasons two and three were my favorites) and the series finale left us with a major unresolved plot thread. Just so you know.
