Summary: The 4400 - The Complete Third Season
Comment: If you like the 4400 the 3rd season is a must have. It is probably the best season of the series.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Every Bit As Good As Season Two
Comment: In its third season, "The 4400" delivers another twelve compelling episodes filled with tension, drama, reveals, plot twists, and a whole lot of moral greyness. With the mysterious maturation of Isabelle, the death of Lily, the impending return of a resurrected Jordan Collier, Richard joining Shawn as head of the 4400 center, Kyle arrested, more of Tom's family in trouble with NTAC, and the now villainous Dennis Ryland as head of his own secret organization, it seems like all of the characters have suddenly become major players. Any of them could be fighting for good and any of them could be fighting for evil. At this point, all of the ideas of pure good and pure evil have been thrown out the window in favor of a theme of choices that runs through this season, and the characters do indeed have to make some hard ones.
The acting, which was admittedly pretty bad in the first season, continues to improve. The entire cast is at least competent, and at times excellent. Another improvement was the way that this season handled the long term story arc. The episodes in the second season were probably individually stronger, but this season excelled in executing the bigger, continuing arcs, such as the ever changing Isabelle story line, which was at once tragic and frightening. One thing I thought was a bit off was how they handled the Nova group. I thought they could have been great antagonists if they were more fleshed out, but instead they ended up being used as a plot device to show the true nature of Isabelle and, earlier, how Shawn has compromised the integrity of the 4400 Center. I did, however, think amends were made when Jordan Collier (who was shown to be alive at the end of the second season) finally returned.
Overall, this is a quality season of a very good show. I hope that, by the fourth season (which is also the last, as this series was cancelled) that we will get at least a few answers, because this is quickly becoming a story that I'm investing myself in.
8/10

Summary: The stakes are higher, and it's not over yet
Comment: I watched this in spurts, but was still able to keep up with it pretty well. The storyline is as cohesive as ever, as the 4400s deal with various abilities, some of which are quite dangerous and can be easily exploited by them or by others.
The cast is solid, particularly Joel Gresch, as well as Jeffrey Combs and Summer Glau, better known for their previous work in Star Trek and Firefly/Serenity, respectively. The character of Isabelle grows so powerful that her own father must fear her, while Jordan Collier returns with what may be apocalyptic plans.
We are left hanging in the season finale as the neon green drug is handed out to anyone who wants it, with a 50/50 chance of it stirring up abilities in non-4400s.
Looking forward to the fourth season.

Summary: The 4400 second season
Comment: The story was great, as the first season was, but the price was way too much for the very short, two disk, abbreviated season and ending to a series that should have kept running. And to add shipping to that was an insult.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Isabelle made this season!!
Comment: This was by far my favorite season. Not only are the sub-plots more entertaining, but it seemed they picked up on the lagging action of season 2.
The addition of Isabelle gave this series an amazing boost of energy, and I loved the story line about the inhibitors expanding the 4400's powers even more. Also, Jordan Collier returns from the future, and has a devious plan for human kind.
Everything about this season was perfect. Cant wait to watch 4.
