The ABC network drama finally comes to DVD! Includes 7 Episodes Never Before Aired in the U.S.!

Paul Callan (Skeet Ulrich) is an investigator of modern miracles whose own faith becomes tested with each new mundane explanation. Then something happens that changes everything. A young boy with the power to heal saves Paul’s life — and pays for it with his own. But before the boy dies, they both see the words "God Is Now Here" written in Paul’s blood, launching Paul on an odyssey of paranormal investigation and spiritual awakening.

Paul finds a kindred spirit in a former Harvard professor turned investigator of the occult (Angus Macfadyen), who opens Paul’s eyes to the growing number of "strange occurrences" that may signal a much more sinister revelation. Teaming up with a former police officer (Marisa Ramirez), these investigators explore the unexplained and try to find a solution to the coming "darkness" before it's too late.

Special Features include:
-Interview & Commentaries
-Deleted Scenes
-5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound

Summary: So Short Lived
Comment: I was hooked on this show from the very first episode. I was also really ticked when ABC canceled it after the third episode. I like every episode in this series. There isn't one that I ever got bored watching. Unfortunately, we never find out what the significance is of the words God Is Nowhere, nor do we find out why everything is happening to Paul because the show was pulled before it ever got off the ground. This series had the potential to run for several years. *sigh*

I hope they do with this like they did with Firefly. Firefly got canceled in its first season yet was a very popular show. Anyway, they made the movie Serenity to kinda finish the Firefly storyline. Maybe, HOPEFULLY, the creators of Miracles will do the same. It'd be nice if they made a movie to finish the storyline of Miracles since the show was canceled so early.

Buy the series DVD set. You won't regret it.

Summary: another good show killed before its time
Comment: It's too bad that more people didn't watch this or that the network did not promote it more. This was an X-Files variation with a spiritual bent to it, as well as a clear story arc that would have been fascinating to track.
The gifted yet troubled Paul meets up with two people who research the paranormal and he goes along for the ride, sometimes suffering for it due to the aforementioned gifts. Many of the stories involve loss and grief, as well as mysterious forces, so it's not some creature feature. This really dealt with human emotions and frailties. Perhaps it was not formulaic enough to satisfy some viewers or network bigwigs.

Too bad, because I would have liked to see more.

Summary: Best. Show. Ever.
Comment: I rarely get hooked on network shows, but I was hooked on this one. And when it was cancelled, it confirmed my view that the networks are run by idiots!

Eerie, beautiful, haunting, thought-provoking, spiritual, horrifying, intriguing --- well, I'm running out of adjectives.

Thanks heavens SOMEONE had some sense and released it on DVD.

Summary: 'Miracles' is a Supernatural Genre Lost Jewel
Comment: My favorite genre of television is sci-fi and/or the paranormal. I am highly critical, normally of any show that attempts to duplicate the X-Files. It seems that most paranormal shows borrow quite a bit from the Files, and it's a rare show about the supernatural that differentiates itself from the pack. Having said all that, I heartily recommend `Miracles' staring the vastly underrated Skeet Ulrich (the current star of the hit series; `Jericho.')

The premise of the show is never full explained since it was canceled 6 shows into production by ABC despite critical acclaim. It essentially is about a small group of people dedicated to find the source of real supernatural miracles. Everything from possession, stigmata, ghosts, and clairvoyance is represented in a thinking-man's presentation. Ulrich and Angus MacFayden are superb as the chief two investigators: Ulrich as a disillusioned Catholic priest on a mission to find answers and to understand who and what he is; MacFayden as the trained supernatural expert.

The original series had 13 episodes, but only 6 made it on the airwaves. For the fans of the one-year run, seeing an additional 7 first-class episodes is well-worth the price of the DVD boxset just by itself. "Miracles" avoids the pitfall of being too one-sided for or against religion: rather, we are left the impression that the miracles the team finds may or may not have come from God Himself. For fans of the supernatural, this show is a natural: a must buy. A one-year jewel, we may never find out the conclusion of the show since it suffered a premature burial.
