From the talented casting of Aussie Dominick Purcell as the color blind man with the head filled with enough facts for a dozen Jeopardy Tournament of Champions contestants, the show started with a mystery and ended with a major cliffhanger, along the way providing enough of a distraction with various encounters with the so-called criminal geniuses of Seattle, while giving the viewer a more than reasonably entertaining back story of the shadowy group who communicated by sign language in order to never be bugged or overheard.
But what the real mystery was that as intriguing as the show was, right up to its cliffhanger season conclusion, is the usually unexplained habit the Fox network had of canceling shows that had a following, often as if they deliberately wanted to kill the show off (one case in point is the "Firefly" debacle).
I often wish that somebody involved in the project would sit down and write a novel or two to help close 'the open doors left swinging in the wind by Fox capricious hatchet job on its own programming schedule.
