    This was a wonderful show from 1998. I remember hanging off the edge of my seat each week, wanting more. At the time I lived in the UK, so we got it after the US, and I was devastated to hear it had been cancelled due to low rating and poor marketing. I also heard that the lead actor (Debra Messing) left the show (or planned to leave) due to another commitment, and while I enjoyed her performance, I always thought they could've drafted in another actor to replace her and continue the show. For some reason SciFi shows have to be nurtured and allowed to grow, in spite of ratings, in order to succeed in the US (see Stargate, and its offshoots)and this one, like FireFly seemed to gain cult status after it was cancelled. Why this never made it to DVD is beyond me. If you want to see another awesome show also from 1998, then Ultraviolet (from UK channel 4) is worth a look - and you CAN get that one on DVD.*spoiler* Discovering a new species of human, one that seems sociopathic towards us regular humans (and indeed sees us as 'prey')was the premise of the show.One of the new species, Tom, ends up helping Dr Sloan and together they try and find out as much as possible on the origins and plans of the 'new' people.

    I though the series was great and that it was a very sad thing it got canceled :( I been trying to find the dvds to the series but no luck ;( I though it was quiet original, much better then the series Dark Angel.Its one of the only sci fi shows that actually makes you think. Makes you ponder what if this happened, and the possibility. After all we don't really know what all the chemicals we release in the atmosphere will do in the future. I feel that this series had great potential, but sadly the writers didn't get to explore it further. Here's hopping that next time such a great series comes on air, it will be given the chance of at least proving itself.Did I mention the series had a few cuties? :) Awesome series!

    This was a terrific series with great potential & was cancelled all too soon! It needs a follow-up movie, at least! It would also be terrific as a mini-series. Adam was wonderful as Tom Daniels...one of the new species of man who may be superior to us but wants to help bring about co-existence if possible. The love story between Tom and Dr Sloan Parker was slowly being expanded on & it needs further expansion! Please bring it back!

    I watched Prey from the beginning. It has a very timely, interesting topic. Well written, well acted. Badly treated by the network that first showed it, and not doing so well with network that is supposed to be running it now. It was cancelled at the end of a cliffhanger, leaving a key character locked in a cage. It has a strong lead female character with a brain, strong, honorable men (Human and not so Human), intriguing plot lines, great acting. Highly recommended.
