ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

tapio_hietamaki The premise is promising: a girl working at the morgue starts getting flashbacks where she goes back in time and has a chance to save the life of a person who ended up as a cadaver at the morgue. But why does this happen, and who is the mysterious guy who also starts working there and seems to know more than he lets on?I stumbled across Tru Calling on broadcast television, and as a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer I thought I'd check it out. Well, if you want Eliza Dushku, I recommend you go for Dollhouse instead. Tru Calling has its merits but overall it's a bit of a disappointment. It sets up a mystery but doesn't really know what to do with it, nothing ever gets resolved and the show fizzles out.

Andrew Ives I bought the Tru Calling complete boxset for someone for Xmas, not planning to watch much of it myself. After watching the first few episodes, I was quite hooked which is very rare for me. If it was ever aired in the UK, I never saw it. I bought it solely on the strength of good reviews on IMDb.At times it reminded me of Ghost Whisperer, Without a Trace, Highway to Heaven, Buffy, Terminator, Sliding Doors, Back to the Future and most of all, like a more agreeable, polished version of the German film, Run Lola Run. If you like any of these films or series, you are sure to enjoy Tru Calling. By Season 2, it veers slightly away from these and takes on a feel of its own. I would rate every episode a consistent 7 or 8/10, and the plot of many of them was about as intricate as a 40 minute story can be. Perhaps the show was cancelled because a few of them were a little too intricate for many viewers' attention span.Such a shame the series was not only cancelled, but not 'tidied up' with a goodbye episode. As Jack says to Tru near the end of the last episode, "It was nice while it lasted."

cwoliver-1 Tru Calling was good but it could have been great. The concept was intriguing and allowed for seriously strange and frightening story lines that might have been explored in future. Unfortunately the writing and an actor let the show down.The writing wasn't too bad but there were holes. In episode 13, "Drop Dead Gorgeous", an incredibly toxic poison was supposedly used to kill the victim. This was so toxic and killed so quickly the victim had no time to run or even scream for help. Yet there was no plausible explanation for how the killer obtained such a powerful poison.In episode 15, "The Getaway", the off-duty policeman responded unrealistically. In the second diner scene he (meekly) tells the robber to drop the gun and when she doesn't follow the order, and in fact turns the gun in his direction, he allows it to turn into a standoff and then escalate into a hostage situation – the very situation he'd been warned about. His response should (would) have been to shoot the robber when she failed to follow his order and upon her turning the gun on him. There are other faults in the stories but I'll leave it with these two examples. In spite of the writing faults I did like the show.The other problem I had was that I just could not accept Eliza Dushku in this roll. In my opinion she is too inexperienced and lightweight to carry this part. She never walked anywhere, she marched; and far too often she came to an abrupt stop on her mark. She also lacked any really emotional facial expression or intonation. She either has a pensive look or a cute smile; rarely are other emotions apparent. When she tries to appear dramatic she begins her line looking away and 'then' turns her eyes to her fellow actor. Or alternatively she begins her line looking at her opposite and then looks away. Both are annoying when done as a replacement for true emotion. An example of her lack of intonation is in episode 20, "Two Weddings and a Funeral", during her second wedding speech is devoid of emotion (eg. hearts in our hearts).I liked all of the other actors in their respective parts and they were all believable. With improved writing and a lead change Tru Calling might have made it.

scottyboy31984 Can I just say how good this series is...and how shocked I am it got the chop! After all the buyers of the collection and all the supporting watchers, the least that could happen you would think is that the final episode, actually would be a final episode. The door has not been shut, and very much doubt that it ever will be. What a waste, I'm sure a last episode would of made this a lot better! I think it is so shocking, I feel like asking for a refund. Companys like Fox need to learn not everything is a hit straight away, Friends wasn't as popular in the first series, look at how that turned out.Apart from last episode, its excellent, I sat there thinking I could guess what would happen and it is just so clever! This could of really went somewhere......
