i think that this series was good, had a good story, acting was something to be desired most times but good.... i agree that its a shame that it was cancelled after only one season but doesn't it always happen to the great ones.... just look at Firefly that should of gone on for yrs on my opinion but hey to FOX and other corporations like that don't give a frick bout what the public think do they....??Anyway good series, should be finished. how can you leave a series like that anyway..? the episode they used for the last on the boxset should of been carried on... you cant leave a series and cancel it with that ending its gonna Hack people off.....

Despite it's various flaws, I enjoyed POINT PLEASANT. In the early instalments it's all a bit soapy, with mother-and-daughter team the Hargroves trying to seduce their chosen men, while the attractive young teen cast spend every other scene wandering about the beach in bikinis and swimming trunks. But as the series progresses, things get more interesting and multi-layered. Everyone has secrets: Judy was having a covert affair with Isabelle's boyfriend; Jesse discovers a mystery surrounding his parentage and realises his destiny is linked to Christina's; several characters - Father Matthew, Jesse's mother and Judy's potential new suitor Nick - know more than they're letting on; Terry's bedridden and seriously ill father begins making cryptic remarks; and Ben Kramer keeps receiving the exact same video tape in the mail - no matter how many times he destroys it.One of the best additions in the later episodes is Holly, Lucas's girlfriend from the Thirties. Having murdered her, he then sold his soul in return for her being brought back to life. As a result she's immortal but has to go through all the pain and fear of dying and being resurrected every day. Having endured this daily ritual for over seventy years, Holly delights in the devotion and enormous guilt he feels towards her, and their love/hate relationship (and it really is a mixture of love and pure hate) is wonderfully twisted. She's his only weakness, and she exploits this to the full - plus the scriptwriters give her all the best dialogue.Another surprising aspect is the inclusion of the Believers, a covert Vatican assassination squad who secretly arrive in Point Pleasant intent on killing Christina. A no-nonsense, ultra-efficient bunch, they are certain that they're doing God's will, but are ultimately revealed to be a bunch of arrogant, blinkered, deluded fanatics, who actually make the situation much worse and are mostly responsible for Christina's fall into darkness - thus triggering the apocalypse they were certain they could prevent. Portraying a branch of the Catholic church (and by extension, all organized religion) as not speaking for God and having no idea of what His plan is, was a brave move by the show's producers. And I may be reading way too much into it, but I can't help but wonder if it wasn't a subtle comment on the America Religious Right's unblinking support for the neo-con Bush administration's invasion of Iraq, which had already turned into a disaster when POINT PLEASANT was initially broadcast.I also liked how the personal journeys of several characters confounded early expectations. Some of the most sympathetic of the town's inhabitants - Jesse, his mother, and Judy - all eventually betray and hurt Christina, admittedly while acting with the best of intentions (the road to Hell, and all that). Meanwhile, those originally appearing to side with Lucas ultimately reject him and find personal redemption: Amber goes all-out to break up the Kramers' marriage, before realising that there's some lines she's not prepared to cross; Her daughter Paula is the town's teen bitch queen, but eventually does some soul-searching and finds true love with Terry, a boy she previously wouldn't have looked twice at; And Terry, practically a younger version of Lucas, selflessly ends his romance with Paula in order to save her from Christina's wrath, and is last seen leaving town with Holly.Acting-wise, Grant Show steals every scene he's in as Lucas, but he's helped considerably by the fact that it's an absolute gift of a role. Elisabeth Harnois has been criticized in most on-line reviews for her portrayal of Christina, and while I'd admit it's not an outstanding performance, I think most of the time she does okay. She definitely made me care about Christina and her ultimate fate, and that's the most important thing in my book. In contrast, Sam Page gave a very underpowered and vacant performance as Jesse, and therefore I didn't give two hoots about him. Personally, the standout for me was Aubrey Dollar as Judy: she doesn't get much to do throughout the entire series except react to events, but she somehow succeeds in making the character extremely likable. The mid-season episodes, in which Judy learns all about Christina's Anti-Christ status and becomes her loyal confidant and sidekick, were my favourite moments of the series.Anyone who enjoyed POINT PLEASANT should check out HEX, a darker British series that covered much of the same ground and in my opinion was superior to it's American cousin. Coincidentally, POINT PLEASANT was first broadcast during the gap between HEX's two seasons (2004 and 2005).

It so typical of FOX to cancel good shows and keep the bad ones and any network that is syndicated such as NBC, CBS and especially CBS who is losing the the syndication rating wars followed closely by FOX.FOX let a good show like this over American Dad, Don't Forget the Lyrics, King of the Hill and other trash in there line up and axed this great show give me a break. The kicker is a similar show call supernatural which is based on the same principal is a smash hit but it took a few seasons before it really took off. Which goes to show you that Fox axed this show far too soon.Let's face it folks the world was ready for a show like this because TV has become so dull with the shove down your throats reality TV that anything that is different from that genre is a welcome event. If FOX actually cared for it's views it would of brought it back seeing the huge campaign that was started yet there response was to give us are you smarter than a fifth grader. If anything the people running syndication TV aren't smarter than a fifth grader. So please if anyone at FOX reads this listen to what the viewers want and give up reality TV it time has come and gone for good.

i just cant believe there wont be another episode. i thought London was behind and so we would have to wait for the new episode but how can it just disappear? there was so much going on when i last saw it. please please bring it back........ i hardly got a chance to watch every episode because of my baby but used to sit up late at night to catch up on the repeat. i have never seen anything so intriguing. and oh, grant shaw back on our screens after so long. it was a bonus. surely there must be some way to bring the show back? a petition, anything?? if people can watch some reality shows time and again surely for the benefit of the like minded supernaturel loving kind, there must be something fox can do to gain ratings?
