Probably the best of 2006's new US series that were cancelled (by a long long way!!) is coming to R1/US DVD in April. The show was pulled after five episodes, with the remaining eight streamed on the web for US residents only (webrips were available to download the usual way, but were understandably of appalling quality). The good thing was this was a properly planned thirteen part serial, and it does conclude (the plan was for there to be a full second season with Jeremy Sisto looking for another kidnapped person) unlike the travesty that was Vanished.
