Standard DVD, Final Season October 10, 2008
Unfortunately the "Final" season of the Dead Zone (or the sixth season as it was once called) was disappointing in terms of character focus and story shift; however, it was still overall better than most TV in my opinion and, when push came to shove in the final few episodes, the writers did justice to the fans and gave us a fitting finale (?) that satisfactorily dealt with the issues and arcs that made the show one of my favourites. That, plus a visit from Johnny's psychic 'girlfriend,' make this season worth owning. (If you're new to the show, YOU SHOULD BUY SEASONS ONE AND TWO FIRST.)
 season 6 going down real fast.......... September 24, 2008
One of the best shows on tv, went through so many changes that it killed
itself...change of pace...replacement actor/actresses of the ones we were
getting along with...one of the strong characters, the sherriff is killed
and replaced by (i wont go there) crap. Instead of continuing with great
stories, we now have to see him bind again with family stuff ...boring
boring...big waste of quality dvd time. But again, it was a great show
and i still bought the last season...at least there is a few decent
stories in it. I will now mourn the loss of a great series and re-watch the better episodes. I really hope they make another movie with
the main actor Anthony Michael Hall and bring out more great stories.
Hit and Miss September 23, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
First let me say that I have been with Johnny and crew from the very beginning. I count myself as a fan. I sat fascinated during the early episodes, marveling both at the storytelling and cool special effects. By Season 3, the series was slowly losing its way. The acting was spotty, but mostly it was the uneven writing that stood out. Seasons 4 and 5 continued the slide down.
I have mixed reviews of the sixth and final season. During this final installment, the new writers decided to just scrap the main Stilson story line and go off on one-show adventures. Each hour introduces some new dilemma that Johnny must confront. Unfortunately, all of the other cast except Sarah are essentially removed from the show after episode 1 (I don't want to spoil things, so I'll leave it at that). The loss of the supporting cast is unfortunate, because it was the character interaction (Bruce-Johnny, Rev. Purdy-Stillson, etc.) that gave the show depth.
There are some decent episodes (Big Top, Switch, Outcome, and Denouement) and some poor ones (Heritage, Ego, Re-entry, Interred). One thing I noticed was that anytime the new sheriff is on screen, the show suffers. I don't know if it is her acting or the terrible lines she was forced to mutter, but it is painful to watch. Also, Sarah's hot and cold behavior towards Johnny and God forbid Stillson is completely out of character. It makes her come off as a needy widow in search of a husband and father for her kids - I'm sorry to have to even say that, but it plays out that way. If anyone would have told me that she would kiss Stillson, I would have probably not even bothered with the season at all.
Overall, I think this final season is an improvement over the last one. But it ends with things basically where they all started - nothing resolved - the world's headed back towards armageddon, Stillson is still at the helm, and we the viewers are not quite sure what is going to happen next. Everyone looks a bit haggard, but I suppose the actors must feel that way after the ups and down the writers have put them through. I enjoyed the Dead Zone, but in truth I had hoped for something more from the final season.
Written by Arthur Bradley, author of "Process of Elimination," - an erotic thriller that pits a martial artist against a world-class sniper out to shape the Presidential election.
Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.
Last season September 16, 2008
I really love this show but I don't know what happened with the last season. The first few episodes were alright but after that the whole season lacked substance. The last episode wasn't even a good conclusion to the series. The writers should have tryed a little harder to end the series well. Every other season was better than this one.
Deadzone's Final Season September 15, 2008
I have Seasons 1-6 and love the Deadzone. However, toward the final season the Deadzones story lines lose their mirth. Michael Anthony does a great job in the part he plays as Johnny Smith, however the writers definetly lost there excitement for the story line. I agree that the Stillson ticket was good, but it would have been good to see more about his mother, and maybe purdy being involved in her death. And also, seeing Johnny's son carry on the vision. But I agree this series ended due to poor writing. And a lost story line.
Besides that the series overall was pretty good esppeacially the first 2 seasons.
