Anyone looking forward to the new mini-series The 4400. It looks pretty decent, but for some reason U.S. mini-series aren't shown very often in Australia. We get them on DVD though.

I'll probably give it a shot because it's the product of some of the Deep Space Nine people like Ira Behr, Rene Echevarria and Robert Hewitt Wolfe (who wrote hour 5).
There's a a semi-review (no real spoilers) and Q&A with Robert Hewitt Wolfe at:

I also note that RHW will probably be answering questions as this thing airs over at his usual hangout, www.exisle.net (a great board, btw).Life is hard...and it's harder if you're stupid

Matt Roush gives The 4400 a pretty good review...
http://www.tvguide.com/tv/roush/review/
An excerpt:
If The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits had ever dabbled in miniseries, the result might have been something as mindteasingly enjoyable as The 4400, an "event series" continuing on Sundays through August 8. Judging from the two-hour opener, this is the summer treat many of us have been waiting for. The 4400 refers to the thousands of people who, over the course of decades, mysteriously vanished in a white glare of light. The story kicks in as all 4400 return en masse, emerging from the mist of a strange comet. None has aged a day, and no one remembers a thing.
This is science fiction with a soul, following the painful readjustment of "returnees" to their disrupted lives while paranoid government types investigate the bizarre circumstances of their absence. The likeliest scenario: alien abduction, a theory given credence when some of the formerly missing exhibit strange new psychic abilities, including healing and precognition.
I particularly like the "science fiction with a soul" part.Life is hard...and it's harder if you're stupid
