Interview
The Alzheimer patient seems to be connected in a mysterious way with Toby's past. Dr.Ray believes that it has to do with the apparently without identity Frank Cardea, the man who brought Toby to Ray 20 years ago. On account of his serious dementia Frank can only remember fragment-like parts, but he remembers that Maya, Toby's presumed dead mother sent him. Now all Toby needs is to decipher Frank's confused thoughts in order to find out the truth about his past and his mother.
Toby Logan is a 24-year-old paramedic who can read people's thoughts. Toby did not manage to know his parents and grew in foster homes. Until now Toby has kept his ability secret and the only one he has shared it with is his old counselor and confidant, Dr. Ray. While he crosses the city of Toronto… More in his ambulance with his partner Oz, an auxiliary doctor full of vitality, Toby tries to help persons in crisis and on the way treat his own wounds. With the help of Detective Marks and his ex-girlfriend Olivia, an E.R doctor, Toby realizes that his gift can serve to help other people. The show, which contains humorous and tragic elements, follows Toby as he uses his power to solve crimes. The Listener is produced by Program Partners in association with Shaftesbury Films. The series has been given a 13 episode initial order by NBC. This series has also been picked up by the FX channel. FX has contributed for the production of the new show so that it can be aired by them. This show first aired in the UK on Sunday 8th March on FX at 9pm (GMT). The Listener will premiere on NBC for the U.S on Thursday, June 4th at 10/9c. Filmed on location in Toronto, Canada.

This is a series based on an interesting concept about a man who finds he can hear others thoughts. His struggle to deal with this talent and his attempts to do the right thing is the basis of the conflict that drives the action. hide show
The protagonist is a conflicted hero and is played well that way by the star. The supporting cast allows him to find assistance as well as express his internal struggles. The characters were a little weak at the start but the show finds its strengths as the episodes continue. The lead is not a superhero but more of an "everyman". It allows the viewer to sympathize with him and when you care about a character you are drawn into his world. This is one of this series most endearing qualities. Also, the actors were all finding their characters a better fit and interacted with each other better as the stories progressed. Unfortunately, this series was never well publicized so it had a hard time finding its audience, in a day when shows have very little time to develop and prove themselves.
The Listener was a good international show that NBC picked up to show during the summer. Even though it was canceled before finishing the season...it was a very descent show that deserves attention for their failed try to make it big. hide show
I had watched the beginning of the series on air but after about five or six episodes I discovered a better show, no disrespect intended, to watch...Killer Women. That show had me intrigued therefore I had the obligation to watch my missed episodes online. When I found out that the show was cancelled before actually airing the few remaining episodes...I wasn't at all surprised because I knew that I wasn't the only person watching Killer Women. To be completely honest I did get bored watching some of the episodes because I really didn't get them so I gave myself a day to finish the series without actually paying attention to it so I wrote this review. It is a good show but not good enough.
If you are watching and do not like what you see in the first 2 episodes...keep watching it might surprise you! hide show
I'm not sure is its the story, the cases, the place or the lovable lead character but the listener did it for me. I was lucky enough to live in Latin America and watch it before the North American audience and would do anything to have it back for a second season! Why? because is an entertaining show, with interesting scifi twist and human conflicts. Its not trying to be too deep just to make us watch and enjoy! The characters are great, they look and act like normal people with real relationships and conflicts. What I love the most is our "hero" who has these powers, does not know why and is trying to do good with them eventhough its not always the case, complicating his life just because he thinks he can make the difference and get to know more about himself in the process, he does not know how to fight and most of the time is put down by his contenders but he keeps trying to help and its obvious he enjoys the rush!! Each week a new case a new conflict and great chemistry between the cast!!
Watch it people it will make a great show to spent a great time!!!
A drama/crime show about a paramedic who can read minds. He helps solve crimes with his ability while also trying to unravel his past and keep suspicious detectives from figuring out his secret. hide show
Despite having a slightly rocky start in the first episode or two as far as reviews and ratings go, this show has got me very interested. I've watched the entire first season and can't wait for the second. I really enjoy the chemistry and conversation between refreshingly in-depth characters, and the plots and subplots are always well-done. It's also nice to see a telepath who doesn't brag about his ability but keeps it a secret (partially for his own safety) and uses it to help other people, often at his own risk. I believe that if NBC will just give The Listener a chance it will really go somewhere.
A really great character show about a 28-year-old EMT Toby Logan who uses his ability to read minds to save people's lives with the help of his best friend Oz and the help of Dt. Charlie Marks. hide show
This show really is something special. It kills me that no one knows it exists, because it has a lot of potential. The acting is quite good, especially that of supporting character and comedic relief, Oz, played by Ennis Esmer. The plots are original week-by-week and not the repetitive "Doctor does not know how to solve case, doctor struggles, doctor has epiphany, docotr wins" every single week. Especially towards the end of the series with the mystery behind Toby's mother, I was really starting to get into the show. NBC please renew this show! It is captivating, clever, charming and just plain old GOOD. We DO NOT need another reality TV show. KEEP THE LISTENER!
