persons unknown past TV show

TV show description:
This mystery drama revolves around a group of strangers who wake up in a strange hotel, then find they’re imprisoned in a ghost town and not able to leave. They see that security cameras are following everything they do. Their unknown captors create mistrust within the group by privately offering them freedom if they hurt the others.

Janet Cooper (Daisy Betts) is a San Francisco day-care owner and single mother of a 5-year-old girl, Megan. Janet’s mom has now been forced into the role of guardian of Megan, not knowing what happened to her daughter. Janet explains her mother is abusive and that they have a distant relationship. She is determined to get out of the situation so she can get back to her daughter. At one time, she was married and hired someone to find her husband.

Mark Renbe (Gerald Kyd) is a journalist from San Francisco who enjoys a good scandal. He’s investigating Janet’s disappearance, and receives information about it from a source in a bar but is then forced to give it away.

The natural leader in the group is Joe Tucker (Jason Wiles). He’s forceful and direct and mentions he doesn’t keep friends, family, or even a girlfriend. He’s very secretive with the others, not even telling them what he does for a living or why he may have been chosen to be taken. He knows military hand signals and was abducted in New York.

Charlie Morse (Alan Ruck) is an investment firm’s CEO. He was worried from the very beginning about how his wife would cope without him. He states that she’s mentally unstable, and emotionally dependent on him. His fighting skills become evident when he is intimidated or threatened.

Moira Doherty (Tina Holmes) is officially a crisis counselor for a teachers’ union. She confides to some that, until she was abducted, she’d been a mental patient at a hospital in Sandusky, Ohio. This left her with knowledge of different medications, introverted and trusting. She admits she feigned mental illness at a certain point to stay at the hospital so that she wouldn’t be sent to foster homes.

TV show supportMoira has become close to Tori Fairchild (Kate Lang Johnson), the privileged and manipulative daughter of an American ambassador and former head of the CIA. When she first woke up in this strange hotel, she had thought she’d just partied too much the night before. She thinks her father is behind her abduction, but won’t say why. She has a talent for hand-to-hand combat.

Sergeant Graham McNair (Chadwick Boseman) is a Marine. He’s also a devout Muslim following his working in a government facility and seeing how alleged terrorists were being treated. Because of this, he can show compassion, but he also tends to make hasty decisions. He seems to be interested in Moira.

Bill Blackham (Sean O’Bryan) put the moves on Tori and beat Graham in a very physical fight. Bill’s first priority is always himself, and he doesn’t trust others easily. The last thing he remembers before being abducted is being pulled over by the police.

Watching over all the abductees is “The Night Manager” (Andy Greenfield). He’s the only worker in the hotel and passes himself off as not knowing any more about the situation than the abductees. They all disagree about whether or not this is true. The captors seem to want to keep him safe.

I was looking forward to a new season of this show I’m 12 and people my age like this kind of stuff! I looked through some of these comments and most of them say bring the show back. You should listen. It might not have been in the right time but it is now! This is one of the best shows I have ever watched SO suspenseful, dramatic. And left us hanging at the end, bring it back.

I just watched Persons Unknown and I was really looking forward to watching more because it is on Netflix this was about to be my new favorite show until I saw that it was cancelled. You should bring it back this show is something everyone wants to watch suspenseful, dramatic, has romance and kinda funny. The people that took away this show don’t have taste. This is one of the best shows I’ve ever watched and you are crushing many peoples hopes for this show.

Just watched season 1 on netflix ! I had never heard of it before and it was AWESOME! It reminded me of LOST . Can you please make a season 2!!! They say timing is everything, maybe your timing in 2010 was off but it would surely be a super hit now.
We need more shows like this to watch, it seems creativity is dying out in TV & movies.

I love this show. Just watched all episodes back to back on “Chiller”. Please bring it back. It might have been a bit before it’s time in 2010 but it is perfect for 2014. Slick, sharp, Edgy and engaging. I am 64 and watched it with my 46 year old son and 23 yr old granddaughter…we all loved it!
