SPOILER WARNING: Don't read if you haven't seen Journeyman yet and don't want to be spoiled.
I finally got to see Journeyman on NBC, and even though I picked it to be one of my favorites, if I had hated it I would have admitted that. But, I honestly loved it! It had almost every element that I look for in a television show; suspense, surprise, a little romance, someone to root for, and a story that I simply don't know where it will lead. From all the commercials and articles I read before Journeyman aired, I knew that Dan would run into his old love from his past when he time traveled, but I had absolutely no idea she would be alive in the present time as well. Where is she? Why are they both traveling through time? So many questions and hopefully NBC will give the show time to answer them. Networks are notorious for canceling shows with stories to be told before the viewers get a chance to see the stories unfold (i.e., The Nine, Kidnapped, Reunion, just to name a few from the not so distant past), and maybe that's why the viewers haven't been there for shows like this. The networks need to start giving us a chance.
Okay, I'm off that soapbox for now. As for Journeyman, I saved it on my DVR for my husband to watch later. That's a huge endorsement. He has even less time to watch TV, so if I save something for him and encourage him to watch it, I have to believe he will like it at least a little!
Added note: The lead actor, Kevin McKidd, is perfect to play brother next to Reed Diamond of Homicide. They even have some of the same mannerisms. I found their relationship completely believable.
