That was an excellent one.

Really Surprised!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Blistering performances.

I stumbled upon this excellent series just recently; having only seen the original 1933 film, BBC TV adaptation and the clever 'Memoirs' 1992 film.This is a very solid, thought provoking adaptation and closely aligned to the original premise.The mono solarisation effect to show the world through Darien's eyes and that when he sloughs off the quicksilver are well constructed and the visually support the story line well.At the time of writing, I am only 2 episodes in to the series but the characters are well established and it is interesting to see how Darien's initial reluctance to have any involvement with the Dept. of Fish and Game has now been tempered by his wish to help put right various 'wrongs'!

For some anonymous reason, the sci- fi channel decided to stop airing new episodes of their hit series "the invisible man", but that's not the point of this review. Turning invisible had always been a bit of a childish fantasy of mine and I was excited to see how they would work out the show. It turned it to be a superb job. The cast, especially Darian is great doing exceptional dark and sarcastic humor. Also, the narration by the main character sums up things quite well. The writers have out- done themselves by not creating a show simply about the ability but other things as well such as government conspiracy as well as sometimes romantic sub- plots. The show feels real, and instead of resorting to a cheap unbelievable gimmick for the protagonist to survive, it still stays true to realism. One other great thing is the special effects, once Darian turns invisible he has black and white vision but it's extremely cool to see things through his eyes. In some ways, it looks like the alien's vision from the 1998 movie "Pitch Black". Some minor flaws include too boring episodes or episodes that simply repeat, but everything else is exceptional. 9.5/10

This series is great and not to mention fun. The goofy persona of Vincent Ventresca's character Darien Fawkes is refreshing and realistic. I like that the character is so offbeat, It's nice to see a series that isn't so sedate. I have to give the creators snaps for coming up with an excellent spin off of the original film. I look forward to watching every week.

The Invisible Man is a demonstration of a great show built on a classic foundation. Wonderful characters, humor, plot, atmosphere, the works. It and the Sci-Fi Channel's other top series, Farscape, are great examples of how SF is at it's core about telling good stories, some old some new, with the twists of imagination only sci-fi can bring.
