A review of Touch

Following in the footsteps of Hero, Tim Kring's new series Touch takes us into a magical world. However, instead of a world in which some people have super human powers and abilities, Touch shows us how the world we're in and the people in it can also be magical. A recent twist that complicates the story, presumably to make it more 'interesting', 'dynamic', and 'exciting', seems forced and a bit too standard mass media formula for what's considered 'entertaining'. Nevertheless, the series has so far managed to maintain its dignity and keep it quirky and engaging. I hope it continues in the same vein.
