Good Evening; Being British, I, (and, I feel, many other 'Brits'), will find this strangely familiar!! Dear Americans, if you enjoyed this 'original' American series from the 1990s, perhaps you might also enjoy the British series from the 1960s, (starring an actor named Patrick MacGoohan .. apologies if mis-spelt..), called .. "THE PRISONER." I think that you'll begin to get my implied point as THAT series progresses ! .. Regards, Mr.Swann.
Chris Swann Not a question. This is an effective take on “The Prisoner” which is the best British series ever. This American show puts it into a ‘90s context and was quite good but they cancelled it before they could properly wind it up. So disappointing. The Brits tend to do shorter series and plan conclusions. Bruce Greenwood was great in this. I am about to watch this first episode. Great lockdown viewing.
I've watched several episodes of "The Prisoner." Although it has some of the same paranoid feeling in it, its story is completely different from this one. In "The Prisoner," the agent is confined to The Village, and his entire day is under the control and watchful eye of the Numbers. In this one, he isn't confined. Also, this story is even less plausible than the other.
@@Pooua Agreed, but this show is still extremely cool, except for 1 or 2 episodes that are not watchable. It was just starting, and then it was cancelled. Bummer.
I, an American, certainly do know who Patrick McGoohan was. He co-created “The Prisoner” series. He has two Emmys to his credit and a BAFTA TV Award. He was in “Ice Station Zebra” a Cold War era film with Rock Hudson. One of my favorite films of the era. A very talented and creative man!
At about the 7 minute mark he goes into the bathroom for a cigarette and when he comes out his life has gone to hell. The moral of the story is SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU
I wondered whether the noise shock of the two tray-crashes functioned as hypnotic triggers, or something similar. Both times, Vail followed them by excusing himself to go elsewhere - ending the current interaction.
If the rest of the series is along this line, I'm in~~~Greenwood does a great job here~~I've never heard of this before and glad I've "run" into it~~ good quality upload and NO COMMERCIALS ~~ AMEN!!!

@@TheDesireFilms There is a 4 lane highway about 10 minutes from my house. The intent was to have it go through North Chicago, Illinois (home of the Great Lakes Navy Academy) then through Waukegan (home of Jack Benny), through Beach Park, then Zion (where I live), and then all the way up to Kenosha Wisconsin. They built the Waukegan part of the highway but Zion sued the state claiming all their businesses depended on people using Sheridan Road and the new 4 lane would bypass all those businesses. They won so now there just the 4 lanes in Waukegan that rarely gets use - so movie ant TV shows tend to borrow it for filming. I saw the remake of The Fugitive being filmed there. There is a current TV show, I think it's call Chicago Fire, that films there. It was used in the movies A Wedding, The Blues Brothers, Groundhog Day, Ocean's Twelve, Batman Begins to name a few.

I missed this in the 90's ,and right now I really miss the IMDB forum. The forum would have had discussions and interpretations from many interested viewers that would have made this more satisfying for a first watch. I am always impressed by Bruce Greenwood's work; he is completely believable, even now when I am not even quite sure of what is happening (lol). Thank you for the up. Per what info is left to be found on the IMDB website, this pilot episode was directed by Tobe Hooper.
Another good show that was cancelled before it's time. You can't make shows where it's too complicated for the audience. This was before reality shows came on, people like those because they were simple.

In fact ALL shows were pitched at an 8th grade (14 year old) worldview and intelligence level - this is to satisfy the sponsors (it's supposed to support advertising according to the experts in marketing psychology) - now we do our politics in USA in this way. Media has moved on from TVF to advertise using other strategies as major channels, e.g. electronic.
There use to be a TV series called Ellery Queen. It was a murder mystery show. It was very good but got cancelled and one of the reasons for the cancelation was that the mysteries were too difficult for the average Americans. BTW - the show was about a writer of murder novels who helped the police solve crimes. A few years after that, they came out with Murder She Wrote that, IMHO, was so stupid I couldn't bare to watch it. I described it to someone like this : A murder takes place in an apartment. A dozen police search it top to bottom and find nothing. Then Mrs. Fletcher walks in, immediately she spots an earring lying on the floor in plain sight. The camera zooms in on the earring and a sign appears with an arrow pointing to the earing and flashing the word "CLUE". Then a woman walks into the room, says "what a lovely room, I've never been in here before." Then touches her ear and says, "Opps, I lost an earring". Really, I think it was that bad.
1995 TV show cancelled after one season. Discovering evidence of his entire existence has been erased, a documentary photographer (Bruce Greenwood) can only begin an investigation.
I used to love this series. When it finished I didn’t get it. I phoned the TV Channel and asked if there was any more episodes. No there wasn’t. I didn’t understand the ending. Did he purposely forget who he was?
Ummm, I’m not sure if people are just dense or if they up don’t understand the concept of a joke. Either way, it was a joke and taking it literally might be the saddest thing ever 🤣
This plot is a mix of "one flew over the cucues nest" and "the matrix". Why is the mental patient wearing white, it is the staff that wear white and then patients that have to wear special clothes.
He was 38 when the early part of the series was filmed early in 1995, which just happens to the same age Patrick McGoohan was when he filmed “The Prisoner” series which has many parallel references to this series, and which Nowhere Man creator Larry Hertzog paid homage to in episode number 5 (“Paradise on Your Doorstep”).
I was 15 when this aired. I just saw him as a 30 something. I didn’t realise he was nearly 40 so when he hit middle age I felt like he’d aged overnight.
34:25 -- The nurse distributes the meds: "Time for your medication," then walks away. Meds are not distributed; they are administered. They give them to the patient, the patient (hopefully) takes them, they show the person administering the meds that they have taken them all. In some cases, the patient is required to open their mouth wide and move their tongue around to show they have not held the pills back in their mouth, but swallowed them. This is very interesting so far, but would be far more interesting if it wasn't so infuriatingly unrealistic.
i noticed that every cab he gets into is a 1950's/1960's model. Those kind of cars would be in some rich guy's car collection, not picking up fares. Doesn't make sense.
Get the script correct, When the man tom vale shot the poilce cars tyres ,the windows were closed on the car , but when the cop got his pumpaction shotgun ,He reached through a open window , IT MUST BE MAGIC.???

45:58 -- The room caught fire. Fair enough. He had spilled that chemical over much of the floor. But then -- the room ... blows up! WHY? And then ... oh no ... the car blows up! DOUBLE WHY? It's like this is taking all the fallacies of TV and movies and doubling their ridiculousness.
+ssppeellll "the car blows up! DOUBLE WHY? " I agree, it is infuriatingly unrealistic. I had just assumed the baddies had rigged the car in case he got away before they got him. The room? I guess there could have been a lot of that chemical stored in there.
Mmmm . . . maybe a lab full of volatile chemicals? Maybe a smoldering bullet striking a fuel tank? It REALLY isn't rocket science.. It's just troll-ism.
Mr. Spell--- Calm yourself. If you must go down the road of picking apart the plotholes in this thing, you'll go crazy AND be here a long time. Nobody wants either of those.
It's seems to be a great serie. It's just that there is no intro. So I do not know if it's about time travel, something like the twilight zone or something else. Who is the actor?
@Zoe P I am a HUGE Pretender fan but my one quibble about the show is that it started out as Jarod sort of righting wrongs where he found them but veered heavily into a sort of soap opera. Then it did like many dramas did/do nowadays...it killed off characters that were beginning to get interesting only to " resurrect " them at a later date. And it was beginning to look like the writers didn't have a plan for the season, or even a complete story arc, but just the next episode or two.
Wirklich scheisse, daß diese Serie nicht mindestens acht Staffeln hat!!! Dies ist so interessant. Dieser ganze Charmed- Zauberhafte Hexen, der öde blöde Senf hat auch acht Staffeln, genauso wie dieser Gilmore Girls Quatsch, mit diesen Schnatterweibern. Wo gar nichts interessantes passierte. Bei uns kam im Juni 1997 bis Januar 1998 Nowhere Man im Fernsehen. Und sowas schaute ich selbst als damalige 17 jährige Maid liebend gerne als diese ganze Charmed Scheisse.
The chemistry between Bruce and this woman is magic and I was drawn in at2 minutes in.Great so far.Thanks!!!😉😎👍hope it finishes as well as it started. WOW,the capt From the Monk series!😳so COOL!! Megan Gallagher is her name.I think.SHE'S A GODDESS!!!!!😄😄😄😁
21:00 -- This setup could hardly be more unrealistic. He's in a straight jacket AND there is a 'guard' standing by. The lighting is dark and bizarre. The zigzag lines on the wall could make anyone go insane. The shrink lights up--and it's a stinky cigar no less--with his asking if it's OK merely an afterthought. The least conducive setting to help a disturbed individual open up. The shrink is as un-sympathetic as possible: aloof, superior, snarky. Everything he says and every mannerism he exhibits is the OPPOSITE of how a real shrink would act. "Let's paint psychiatry as a scary nightmare." Boooooo.
I should have clarified that I was only referring to the design and behaviors of the psychiatric setting. I am plenty old enough to remember the 90's, and I maintain that this is a horrible representation of that kind of place and treatment at that time. I understand this is done for dramatic purposes, but it is so unrealistic as to detract--for me, at least--from the enjoyment of the story. Not to mention the disservice it does to a field that is already stigmatized. But you got me to re-read my original comment, and I corrected some typos. So thanks for that.
That's a deliberately expressionistic setting, reminiscent of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Film/TV doesn't always have to be naturalistic. Sometimes, exaggerated elements, like a distorted set, can externalize a character's mindset -- very effectively, I might add. And as for the psychiatrist, I'd say it was made quite clear that he was not proceeding with this patient as he would with any other patient; he's "in on it."
Private I-- Read about "The Rosenhan Experiment" (history, not fiction) & see if you still feel the same way. The real opposite of how psychiatrists really are is the Judd Hirsch character in the 1980 film "Ordinary People". The Michael Tucker character here, on the other hand, Dr. Bellamy, acts very much like a real psychiatrist.
Haven't decided if I like it or not; need more information. It seems like this is the type where seeing them in order is important. So when you post in order let me know.

Thanks for uploading this. I've seen every episode a gazillion times and own the DVD series, but love the fact that new fans are being made.
This was a great show that deserved to have a much longer run than it did. A remake would be great.
Agree personally, but i think it ended up being too depressing for the average popcorn viewer and they had to shut down for economic reasons.
Few "likable" personalities starring. Just a lot of oddity and the world conspiring to get the main character and kill him. This was a very intense show.
Potential spoilers in my comment if you are reading this but haven't seen the whole show
They should do a "remake" change the name of the main character, have greenwood guest star as the psychologist have him pop up every now and again and in the final of season 1 have it revealed that greenwood's character is Thomas vaile from the original and its not actually a reboot (like the audience thinks) but a follow-up sequel series
One of the best series ever. So, so, soooo underrrrated
Such an amazing and underrated show
This show (Nowhere Man) and First wave were great.
Bruce Greenwood is so underated. He doesnt get enough credit for his range but he steals every scene he is in

Bruce Greenwood as a 20 somethinger.
He must be older than ''a 20 somethinger''! But, I am positive that he would be very flattered!

i noticed that every cab he gets into is a 1950's/1960's model. Those kind of cars would be in some rich guy's car collection, not picking up fares. Doesn't make sense.
That show was done in the 90’s. Those kinds of cabs were still be used.
that was a good show. sliders would come on then nowhere man.
a phonebooth do not see those any more,
Magnificent
Get the script correct, When the man tom vale shot the poilce cars tyres ,the windows were closed on the car , but when the cop got his pumpaction shotgun ,He reached through a open window , IT MUST BE MAGIC.???
I loved this series. It was very engaging.
Hi Maria, I'm doing a series on my facebook page that looks at locations from 'Nowhere Man' in Portland. The facebook page is Location Station: TV & Movie Sites if you want to look it up. It is public. I always enjoy connecting with others who love this show. All the best :) I've covered several episodes - here is an example :

45:58 -- The room caught fire. Fair enough. He had spilled that chemical over much of the floor. But then -- the room ... blows up! WHY? And then ... oh no ... the car blows up! DOUBLE WHY? It's like this is taking all the fallacies of TV and movies and doubling their ridiculousness.
+ssppeellll "the car blows up! DOUBLE WHY? " I agree, it is infuriatingly unrealistic. I had just assumed the baddies had rigged the car in case he got away before they got him. The room? I guess there could have been a lot of that chemical stored in there.
It was the 90's!!! geez

Mmmm . . . maybe a lab full of volatile chemicals? Maybe a smoldering bullet striking a fuel tank? It REALLY isn't rocket science.. It's just troll-ism.
Mr. Spell--- Calm yourself. If you must go down the road of picking apart the plotholes in this thing, you'll go crazy AND be here a long time. Nobody wants either of those.
It's seems to be a great serie. It's just that there is no intro. So I do not know if it's about time travel, something like the twilight zone or something else. Who is the actor?
SimonJPA Baillargeon the actor is Bruce Greenwood.
@Zoe P
I am a HUGE Pretender fan but my one quibble about the show is that it started out as Jarod sort of righting wrongs where he found them but veered heavily into a sort of soap opera. Then it did like many dramas did/do nowadays...it killed off characters that were beginning to get interesting only to " resurrect " them at a later date. And it was beginning to look like the writers didn't have a plan for the season, or even a complete story arc, but just the next episode or two.
How this show never got the reconciliation it deserved is ridiculous
Recognition,not reconciliation.

Thank you 😊
Lawrence Hertzog Productions/Touchstone TV (1995)
Wirklich scheisse, daß diese Serie nicht mindestens acht Staffeln hat!!! Dies ist so interessant. Dieser ganze Charmed- Zauberhafte Hexen, der öde blöde Senf hat auch acht Staffeln, genauso wie dieser Gilmore Girls Quatsch, mit diesen Schnatterweibern. Wo gar nichts interessantes passierte. Bei uns kam im Juni 1997 bis Januar 1998 Nowhere Man im Fernsehen. Und sowas schaute ich selbst als damalige 17 jährige Maid liebend gerne als diese ganze Charmed Scheisse.
Pretty cool
The chemistry between Bruce and this woman is magic and I was drawn in at2 minutes in.Great so far.Thanks!!!😉😎👍hope it finishes as well as it started.
WOW,the capt
From the Monk series!😳so COOL!!
Megan Gallagher is her name.I think.SHE'S A GODDESS!!!!!😄😄😄😁
Megan would appear
occasionally in
a few more episodes.
21:00 -- This setup could hardly be more unrealistic. He's in a straight jacket AND there is a 'guard' standing by. The lighting is dark and bizarre. The zigzag lines on the wall could make anyone go insane. The shrink lights up--and it's a stinky cigar no less--with his asking if it's OK merely an afterthought. The least conducive setting to help a disturbed individual open up.
The shrink is as un-sympathetic as possible: aloof, superior, snarky. Everything he says and every mannerism he exhibits is the OPPOSITE of how a real shrink would act.
"Let's paint psychiatry as a scary nightmare." Boooooo.
Bud... this was the 90's and was very believable then. It was one of the first of it's kind during this period among movies like "the net"
I should have clarified that I was only referring to the design and behaviors of the psychiatric setting.
I am plenty old enough to remember the 90's, and I maintain that this is a horrible representation of that kind of place and treatment at that time.
I understand this is done for dramatic purposes, but it is so unrealistic as to detract--for me, at least--from the enjoyment of the story. Not to mention the disservice it does to a field that is already stigmatized.
But you got me to re-read my original comment, and I corrected some typos. So thanks for that.
That's a deliberately expressionistic setting, reminiscent of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Film/TV doesn't always have to be naturalistic. Sometimes, exaggerated elements, like a distorted set, can externalize a character's mindset -- very effectively, I might add. And as for the psychiatrist, I'd say it was made quite clear that he was not proceeding with this patient as he would with any other patient; he's "in on it."
Private I--
Read about
"The Rosenhan Experiment"
(history, not fiction)
& see if you still feel the same way.
The real opposite of how psychiatrists really are
is the Judd Hirsch character
in the 1980 film
"Ordinary People".
The Michael Tucker character here,
on the other hand, Dr. Bellamy,
acts very much
like a real psychiatrist.
@@jetuber Good points, jetuber.
what's his real name??
Bruce Greenwood
Well, you're all buzzing about it so I'll definitely watch it, good or bad.
Haven't decided if I like it or not; need more information. It seems like this is the type where seeing them in order is important. So when you post in order let me know.
Check " Nowhere Man" wiki and at the bottom at least you will see in what order they are in.
classic
wait, at 7:58 didn't he just come out of the ladies' john? not that it matters I guess... or maybe it shows how avant garde he is...
Looks like a head wearing a top hat to me.
that was a bit different
Was this a fox show or upn?
UPN. It was part of it's premiere lineup.
@@vxy357
A LOT of good shows got hammered when UPN went down the drain.
Whew lucky I am Mr Veale and not Mr Veil.
This show is so amazing How it hasn’t been rebooted is a joke
I know!!! Tell me about it!

What is that thing he was in when called the cab? Why did he not get an uber? I'm so confused.
Amos Johnson are you even serious???
My friend it was the 90s. No uber.
He nose. He was looking 2 get a response. Jokes on the responders trying 2 answer him.
That was called a phone booth.
Parallel reality?
So this group of people controlling everything definitely like cigars I take it
All the stupid clocks chiming...it's my ex mother in law's house!
"Uploading Entire Series"
Yeah, I need to edit that. I saw that multiple people had already done that, so I didn't. If I can find the other episodes, I'm sure anyone else can. Here is the second episode, this person has the entire series th-cam.com/video/V-E1ZG8u8o8/w-d-xo.html
I found the rest of the episodes. Appreciate you posting the premiere episode, though. Thanks.
@MrNowhereMann....Actually, the ensuing episodes-in order- don't come up by themselves in the column, as they do in other series! All that I can see are seasons way ahead of what I want. Already, I cannot find episode 3 or 4... I have been putting each episode in the search box to find them but....
santa holbrook doesn't appear to have them all either....plus, they are labeled weirdly....e20/25, e12/25 What exactly does that mean ../25? Do you know? Thanks
Maybe, I should look for another site.
Thanks for the pilot show.
lynda renaud means 25 is the last episode. Number 1/25 is 1 out of 25. Number 2/25 is 2 out of 25 so on & so forth.
Well, you're all buzzing about it so I'll definitely watch it.
sick cigar
I didnt realize lobotomy were still being done in the 90s. Werent they done in the 50s.
Adnan Hasan conspiracy theorists would say their still being done, but not for the same reasons as when done in the 50s. Secret military experiments & the like.
well these 'people' don't follow any rules that's the thing...trouble-makers must be silenced etc....
This was clearly a special case.
30s to the 70s, some in the early 80s but not really an 80s thing.
They are still being done,
only now they're being done
much more simply
& conveniently--
through neuroleptic drugs.
"Total Recall" Rip Off...But Still Watchable.😕
More so, an echo of the TV show The Prisoner.

Ttres freaky
I thought it knno
Are all americans completely paranoid ?
who keeps telling you that about us? :D
VITA kyo......what makes you think ''all americans completely paranoid''?? That is a strange question and generalization of an entire nation, isn't it?!
We run the world
Vita kyo - Think about the government we live under, and remember; "Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you!"
VITA kyo people of your country that gullible? This is a movie and doesn't depict real life to an exact T. What country are you from?
occultic and symbolic of the black people
Ending not so good
great show ,ace upload cheers
