Cringingly, I watched to about half the pilot episode, counting the missed opportunities, idiotic plot points, stifled dialogue, poorly filmed action, and improbable coincidences brought together by a sloppy script.
Somehow I caught myself not really caring for either the miscast prisoner or the little girl. Well, I did care for the mystery of the girl, but it was quickly made obvious that the focus of the show is on her fixing the menial problems of people they encounter along the way, Quantum Leap-style.
But... I did like Quantum Leap, so I kept watching...
...until, in the middle, a peripheral character I completely didn't care about turned to the camera and started telling the viewer (pardon me, he was talking to himself, yes) about his problems that inevitably the little girl was going to solve by the end of the episode.
The monologue was so very awkward, and I couldn't bear the actor's suffering as he struggled with stilted, poorly written lines.
If you like crap, sorry, I mean, "Touch", then you will love this show.
If you saw "Touch" for what it was - a lazily written show with "the numbers did it" deus ex machina in every episode, then, "Believe" me, you're going to hate this one.
