Review of Touch

Touch (2012–2013)
10/10
Wow.
5 February 2012
Unique, nothing like it, from the starting sequence to the surprise twists it contains beauty yet does not "contain" it's wildness, it surprise. Makes me feel like TV has finally become what it can be. Wordless boy in a number based world helps viewers imagine paths and links beyond the circumference of their lives, I am sure that it will become challenging for the writers and creators to keep to this freshness, but I feel honoured to watch this primordial episode which is so unique in the current world of television viewing. Keifer Sullivan is always a pleasure to watch, but the other pleasures include the passage of story lines across the globe and into moments that deepen unexpectedly in to despair and then unexpected webs of connection. Yet stays away from glib. It is hard to create a series that match the apocalyptic pulse of our times without descending to the fear pulse that is so often used to either sell or stabilize the appeal of the dramatic content. Tremendously creative photography, editing, directing and script.
