The Pretender

Sorry. This is a quick, frivolous entry. We rented the first season of the 90s series, The Pretender. I had forgotten how good that series was. My 13-year-old son had never seen them. He is all over us about renting the rest of the series now!

If you don't remember the premise of the show, Jarod is a man who was raised in a secret institution and used for his incredible mental abilities. He finds out his abilities were used to hurt people, so he escapes and embarks on an adventure-filled journey, ridding the world of injustice. It is smart, compassionate and sometimes funny. While the series might not be for very young children, it was great to rediscover something we could all sit down and enjoy as a family.
