"Touch" is a preternatural drama where science and spirituality meet in which we are all interconnected. The show follows a group of unrelated characters. One of these is Martin Bohm (Kiefer Sutherland), a widower and a single father who is haunted by an inability to connect to his mute and severely autistic 10-year-old son, Jake. Martin has tried everything he could do in order to reach his son, but at no success. To spend his time, Jake has cast-off cell phones, disassembling them and manipulating the parts. This allows him to see the world in a different way entirely. Martin is visited by social worker Clea Hopkins. She insists on doing an evaluation of the living situation.
Clea sees Martin as a man whose life has become dominated by a child he can no longer control. Martin discovers that Jake possesses a gift of staggering genius. That is, the ability to see things that no one else can, the patterns that connect everything to each other. Martin is guided by Boris Podolsky, an aging professor with a compelling but unorthodox theory about Jake. The theory is to join spirituality and science together in one happy medium. Created by Tim Kring. Francis Lawrence (Water for Elephants), "Touch" is an inspiring journey of a father and his love for his son with an unique talent for the world to see.

The series is over, set the status to Ended :)
I watched the first season and thought: "damn this is boring." Decided to watch the second season though. Now it started to get interesting and now they cancel the show... Typical!
why cancel????
there's so much jack bauer in martin bohm
@zqyx Actually it was cancelled a few hours before the final episode was set to air..but same difference.
Probably cancelled after last episode in season.
A segunda temporada está impressionante, seja em roteiro, atuação, mitologia e etc. Pena que a série está com péssimos índices de audiência, espero que tenha um bom desfecho
This second season really is a HUGE improvement over the first. Too bad the ratings are a disaster. I do hope they will at least be allowed to wrap things up before it gets cancelled.
Apparently it's been pushed to midseason now... So we gotta wait more to watch second season.
I started watching it because of 24 and ended to watch when had nothing better to do: this story definitely need an improvement and less annoying do-goodism. Nice twist in the season finale.
Renewed
@az25 ha, i know. I wish bauer was in homeland sometimes though.
@shackrock lol, you guys can't compare this to 24. It's not fair, it's apples and oranges.
this show does keep getting better, still a little slow, and it's nowhere near jack bauer + 24. ha.
Nice concept, but the underlying plot desperately needs improvement.
@josbeir It's not you. I guess it is Jack's purpose to bore the viewer to death.
Goodbye, mr. "Sweetheart" Bauer. #ignore
Is it me or does this show is getting more boring with every episode? Will keep watching it for now but they need to add something extra...
I really like the global reach of this show, but the actual substance... I'm a little... I don't even know, i'm more impressed with the big vision of the show, then what's actually been happening in it. I hope it gets better, it's a good excuse to expose a lot of really good minority actors to the world, which is always a plus.
great show
