I took a risk and purchased this dvd boxset having never before seen even a single episode, but WOW how it paid off! This is television at its best- every episode is completely gripping and looks as though it has a budget comparable to that of a movie (i.e. with matrix style camera tricks).
While the concept of a central character with a paranormal advantage over others isn't much of a blindingly-original a theme, this is very much above the average. Though the key to its success, despite its many original qualities has to be the central performance by Antony Michael Hall- he's just perfectly cast as Jonny Smith, a guy who manipulates events in the present to avert disaster in the future for himself, his loved ones and complete strangers using the part of his brain aptly named 'the Dead Zone'.
The first 3 episodes are fantastic and while the season never quite lives up to this brilliant introduction, it does take us places we never expect with great writing and beautiful performances. My favourite episode is 'Shaman' (reminded me of a star trek: next gen. episode, but actually surpasses that in every way), 'Dinner with Dana' is the episode where very little happens action-wise, but which somehow manages to be effortlessly engaging, and 'Enemy Mind' would be the poorest because it's a little predictable (which is something you can very rarely say with the Dead Zone). It's moving, addictive and classy television, snap it up guys!

I first watched this on sky in 2003 and I have to say that I loved it. The first season is deffinately the best and its nice to see Anthony Michael Hall after all this time some may remember him from wierd science and many of john hughes films back in the 80's. If you like tv like medium and fringe this is for you. give it a try its worth it.

The Dead Zone (based on the book with the same name by bestselling author Stephen King) is a fantastic collection. the acting is great and the scripts superb. A must have for any TV fan

the dead zone season 1
I loved the dead zone as a movie and as a tv programme. I'm really enjoying revisiting all these old episodes.

The Dead Zone is more alive than most
The fact that Steven King takes drugs while writing is painfully obvious when you read some of his works, however his basic ideas make for great films and TV series. Read more
