TOUCH
Yep, it is the season for new TV shows...but the question I had was whether or not the new FOX show Touch was going to live up to the expectations many had for it. So what can I say, i'm a Keifer Sutherland fan, and I sat down to watch the show this past weekend on hulu. The show is about a father, Martin Bohm (widowed), who trys to understand his 11 year old son who has autism. The boy has a rare gift, and as Martin realizes what his son is capable he learns to understand his son even more. This first episode had a very intriguing story line. Loved the little boy, and I loved Kiefer Sutherland as the boys father. It was exciting to watch, and I liked that it really made you think. Where I think the show is going to draw its audience in is through the emotional connections it provided to its viewers. The strong father-son connection and the fight that Martin has to go through in order to keep his son as a single parent is amazing. If anyone felt for the characters parasocial relationships with this show could become very strong. I personally loved it. I hope that the episodes to come in the future will be just as entertaining.
