Martin Bohm (Sutherland), a widower and single father, haunted by an inability to connect to his mute 11-year-old son, Jake (David Mazouz). After multiple failed attempts at keeping Jake in school, Martin is visited by Clea Hopkins (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), a social worker sent to evaluate Jake’s well-being. Everything changes when Martin discovers that Jake possesses the gift of staggering genius – the ability to see things that no one else can and the patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events. Jake is indeed communicating. But it’s not with words, it’s with numbers. Martin meets Arthur Dewitt (Danny Glover), a professor and an expert on children who possess special gifts when it comes to numbers. Now, it’s up to Martin to decipher the meaning and connect the numbers to the cast of characters whose lives they affect.

Best of this List: Ghost Whisperer
Worst of this List: Harry's Law
Shout-Outs: About a Boy for being far more decent than it should have been, also way to stick 3 seasons David Walton!
Galavant for turning Lassie into a singing prince
Ghost Whisperer for being so cheesy but so watchable for some reason
Happily Divorced for telling Fran Drescher's hilarious real-life story in a pretty decent way
Harry's Law for somehow lasting 2 seasons
Impastor and the Jim Gaffigan Show for helping to start TV Land's original programming
Kyle XY for being from that fun time of weird ABC Family dramas before Freeform turned things vapid and overly-emotional
The Lying Game for doing that twin deception thing, but actually making it pretty fun
The Real O'Neals for being really, really gay in a kind of annoying way
Reaper for having an oddly fun premise and character cast
Togetherness for trying to be funny, and dramatic, and poignant, and heart-warming, and cathartic, but not really doing any of them well
Touch for bringing an inventive and surprisingly engaging plot to TV
Up All Night for giving an all-star cast some okay material
V for doing some pretty fun and not overly heavy-handed alien stuff
Original or can watch on
