Small-town teacher Johnny Smith is involved in a car accident that leaves him comatose for six years. After regaining consciousness, Johnny begins having visions of the past and future triggered by touching items or people; doctors attribute the visions to activity in a previously unused "dead zone" of his brain that is attempting to compensate for the impaired function of the portions injured in the accident. Johnny also learns that his fiancée, Sarah, gave birth to his son in the interim following the accident, but has since married another man.

With the help of Sarah, her husband Walt, and physical therapist Bruce, Johnny begins using his abilities to help solve crimes. However, his attempts to do good are complicated by intermittent visions of apocalyptic events brought about following the future election of congressional candidate Greg Stillson.

Did anyone ever watch this?
I recommend it. It's a good programme, I'd say you need a bit of an open mind if you do watch it though. It's based on the Stephen King novel 'The Dead Zone'.
I started watching it on FIVE at like 1am one or two years ago, but it must've been a repeat or season 6.

I watched it a few years back a lot, sort of lost interest though. I've got a few episodes on my computer left to watch (I plan on watching them someday if I can get around to it lol). The 1983 film is also worth a look (CHRISTOPHER WALKEN WOOOOOOO).
