The talented Michael T. Weiss is Jarod, a man who can become anyone he
wants to be, in order to save lives, or prevent disaster. In the first season, he escapes from the Centre and three workers, Miss Parker, Sydney, and Broots
are after him all through the series and he keeps going. The series was meant for adults and thus was a success for people over the age of eighteen. Great
action sequences and Michael T. Weiss was very very good as the title
character, coming a long way from "Days of Our Lives" while Andrea Parker was hot and sizzled as Miss Parker, a dark but light hearted female lead. But my
favorite was Patrick Bauchau as Sydney, whom would always be in contact with
Jarod and not let the Centre know about it! Too bad there was never a fifth
season as I would have like to see more!
