Amazon.com: There's nothing like a psych-out to shake things up. In The 4400's fourth season opener, everyone has taken the medicine Jordan Collier (Billy Campbell) distributed in year three, and all's right with the world. Then he wakes up from his dream. In truth, promicin helps some and harms others. Soon, Shawn (Patrick Flueger) emerges from his coma and Isabelle (Megalyn Echikunwoke), who tried to kill him, escapes from prison. As for NTAC, agents Tom (Joel Gretsch) still mourns the missing Alana, while Diana (Jacqueline McKenzie) returns to work when she finds out her sister, April (Natasha Gregson Wagner), has taken the shot. As the season continues, promicin-related strangeness accelerates, like the outcast (Cameron Bright) who becomes a messiah--and insists his followers only listen to TV on the radio--or the librarian (Constance Towers) who can astral project. An attractive new NTAC supervisor, Meghan Doyle (Jenni Baird), joins Tom and Diana to monitor the positives and those they affect, including Tom's son, Kyle (Chad Faust), who helps Collier establish Seattle's Promise City, an all-positive community. As ever, shades of grey dominate, and anyone can change at any time. Even an NTAC agent can become one of the Marked.
The fourth year ends with a viral outbreak, followed by the death of a key character. For the most part, though, the conclusion holds out hope for relations between the positives and the rest of the population--if they can stop the Marked in time. Because the USA Network chose not to renew the show, some questions may never be answered. Fortunately, The 4400 went out with both humor and heart. Extra features include deleted scenes, featurettes, a blooper reel, and commentary from creator Scott Peters on "Till We Have Built Jerusalem" and the director's cut of finalé "The Great Leap Forward." --Kathleen C.

Rating: - A Worthy End to an Interesting Series
The 4400 has had a bumpy ride. Canceled, given a reprieve, and then done to death by low ratings and the writer's strike, it hits its stride at last in the fourth and final season and delivers a satisfying send off. Season four is not without its problems, however.
This last season focuses on the crisis caused by the widespread dissemination of the Promicin shot. Anyone willing to risk their lives can have a 50/50 chance of receiving a power...but those that don't get a power, ... Read More

This season is much better than the other three, darker and more vicious! Hoping that the 5th season will be even better!
Rating: - How can this be the last season?
Its awesome. Season Four begins where season three left off and then just takes off. Tension builds all the way through as you see the various threads of the story coming together, and you keep wondering where its going to lead, but then the tragic / happy ending still catches you by surprise. Questions are answered but others are raised, some main characters end but others begin, and mostly it leaves you wanting more.

Rating: - The Sneetches updated
Well written, well acted. Basically, 4400 abductees return in a ball of light, each with a special ability. The central tale revolves around a core group but each week there is a guest ability featured. There are many organizations trying to use the 4400 to its own ends so we have vilains from government, industry and family all trying to take advantage of the talents demonstrated by the returnees. Sometimes it's hard to keep track of who's good and who's bad (and even who's dead and who's alive). ... Read More
