"My name is Thomas Veil, or at least it was. I'm a photographer, I had it all: a wife, Alyson, friends, a career. And in one moment it was all taken away, all because of a single photograph. I have it; They want it; and they will do anything to get the negative. I'm keeping this diary as proof that these events are real. I know they are. They have to be."

On August 28, 1995, Thomas Veil, a professional photographer, has his identity suddenly erased by a mysterious conspiracy. Nobody recognizes him, including his own wife. His studio is empty, his art show at a gallery has vanished. His entire past ceased to exist in a moment. People are chasing him, but he doesn't know why, except that it has something to do with "Hidden Agenda", a picture of a brutal execution he took a year earlier, now missing from his studio. He has the negative, "they" want it, and the hunt is on. Tom Veil is on the run, trying to find out the truth of what happened to him while at the same time evading his unknown pursuers.less «

  Does everyone have their copies yet? :D I got mine yesterday and have already sped through the first three episodes. Picking up a lot of stuff I either didn't notice or don't remember from the first airing (ten years is a LONG time! :D) I was a little worried when "The Incredible Derek" started... the black-and-white opening bit was in such bad shape! But the rest of the episode was fine. I don't know why they didn't just take the other, better-preserved opening from Episode 2 and just cut it onto TID. But, hey, whatever ;-D I think the box is very nicely put-together. I love the book-like way the DVDs are, but it makes them just a bit harder to get out than other formats. I'm just so excited to have Nowhere Man after all this time! :D I'm saving the special features until after I've rewatched the whole series. :Dless «

• the show, as opposed to touting dvds

  say, doesn't anyone here actually talk about the SHOW?  like how intriguing it was, and how it ended before too much could be revealed?  (or maybe i just missed that part?) g

  Great show full of mystery and suspence and action it had everything you could want in a action show like this one.
  To enjoyed this show you need to love MYSTERY soaps.It's a show you need to follow every week.To bad the show was off the air buy th hide « show »

  Bruce Greenwood,great actor in this series about a man's life that change at a party and nobody seem to remember him at all not his wife,friends,and son. A great mmystery for TV viewers,who like mystery like I do.It seems to be about a murder that toke place in South America in Columbia somewhere and that photo he'd take seems to be really in inportant to though who wish to cover this up.THE US goverments miss deed are really here and it makes it more interesting.Bruce Greenwood acting ability works well here because he's great.You just need to watch this show.

  9.8 Superb

  Excellent show with too short a life span. hide « show »

  This show was the beginning of the downfall of my faith in networks. This show was fantastic but was cancelled and left hundreds of unanswered questions. The show was based on the idea that this man had seen something he shouldn’t have seen but being an innocent he did not realize the power of the pictures he had taken. The move the Net was a very similar concept. The government (or some other group) rips his life from him. Just the idea of going to the bathroom during dinner to return and find your wife, house and life gone was very well played off. I really hope writers of today will watch this series and find the magic that was within the story telling. In retrospect maybe Nowhere Man was too intelligent for TV. As is the case with Veronica Mars and Jericho the intelligent shows go the way of the dinosaur. Here is hoping writers will keep trying to create such shows and that eventually the world will catch up.

  9.4 Superb

  This is a series that should be remade or brought back. hide « show »

  A photographer takes the wrong picture and forces within the US government proceed to erase Thomas Veil from history or so he thought.
  
  It had elements of The Fugitive and Incredible Hulk where a man is constantly on the run. It also had X-Files like feel to it with a government conspiracy as the overlying theme.
  
  The ending made it appear as if Veil was really part of the conspiracy he thought he was exposing. Or did the members of the conspiracy just want him to think that? Who were the people on the other tapes named after 11 other Astrological signs? Were government officials really being "replaced"? What was the big picture behind Project Gemini? The series was full of government conspiracies, political intrigue and mystery. The series Vanished can be traced back to Nowhere Man. Series like LOST and Jericho have Nowhere Man-like mysteries and a "things are not as they seem" feel.
  
  If this series were put out today I suspect it would do far better than its original limited run.

  Today, this show might have lasted longer. hide « show »

  At the time, this was a "must see" show for me. Unfortunately, serialized dramas were not the norm then, so I think it might have lost it's audience to that concept. But with that style becoming popular today, with shows like 24, Lost, Prison Break, Vanished, Jericho, The Nine, Heroes, and God knows what else I'm missing, I think it would have stood a better chance.
  I was always dubious about getting the DVDs figuring, "What's the point? I'll never really what happened." But I think, if only for nostalgic reasons, and the fact that I liked the show when it was on, I think I just might.
