Show Summary

EDIT

"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.

A typical example of a great series that died too early

Every so often, TV LAND comes out with a remarkable series, Xfiles, La Femme Nikita, Lost to name but a few. It's a shame that NWM was cancelled, I would have loved to watch a season 2 or 3. But that's life I guess. I'm still hoping some of the original writers can get together and have a "second coming" of the show. I'd even settle for a few books, Tom Veil on paper back, works for me...

Excellent show with too short a life span.

9.8

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.moreless

i found the series to be a great one with a lot of time skips and it wasn't long enough but it was so interesting and the episodes were long so i gotta say i loved the series. its about a guy that takes photos of an execution done by some group higher than the government and he gets them published, then he gets caught and they pretty much erase his life, so he goes out to get it back, but noone seems to know him and he gets into a lot of trouble to get what he thinks is the truth.moreless

Bruce Greenwood plays Thomas J. Veil, a photographer, who after taking a photograph of a covert government operation has his life taken away by the government.

9.0

By marvelfan89, Jul 30, 2009

Great show. A thinking man's show. It does have everything you can want in a show like this action, suspense, great acting. At its heart, this is clearly a thinking man's show. It's an analytical show that calls the viewer to think about the character and situations he is in. You are hooked from the very beginning and are always interested to see if Veil will uncover the conspiracy several shady and corrupt members of the government.

The pilot sets up the tone of the show. Sure there are shows like this but Nowhere Man creates it's a bleak, dark atmosphere, where the truth ends up being put on the back burner.

Bruce Greenwood is the star of the show. He really is an underrated actor. You might recognize in other shows and movie, but he was the best man for the role.

This show also features by young upcoming talent like Carrie Anne Moss of the X-Files and proven talent like Megan Gallagher.

Nowhere Man is a great show. It's a shame it lasted only one season. You might come away saying well it must have sucked because it lasted only one season but that isn't true.

I remember when UPN was just starting out from syndication. Nowhere Man was in its lineup along with other shows like Robocop The Series and The Sentinel.

Decent shows. I do miss the 90s.moreless
