Tru Calling - Season 2 (DVD, 2005, 2-Disc Set)

I used to watch this series when it was on TV and loved it. I sort of forgot about the show, until SciFi did an all day marathon on it. I really enjoyed the episodes that I got to see again and even saw some "new" ones that I had missed when they aired before. This series is about a girl named Tru (played by Eliza Dushku) who works in a morgue. She learns that she has the gift of re-living days when a corpse asks for her help. She is instantly propelled back to the previous day and knows exactly what will happen. She spends her time trying to stop the death of the person seeking her help. The other main character is Jack (played by Jason Priestly). Jack has a similar ability, but his job is to stop Tru from helping the dead. His "calling" is to keep the dead~dead. The interaction between these two characters is exciting and very confrontational at times. It is a very entertaining show and keeps watchers at the edge of their seat. Sometimes Tru does save the day, but not always. Sometimes Jack has his way.Unfortunately, this show was canceled in it's 2nd season. One thing that was a disappointment to me about season 2 is that there were only 6 episodes. Season one had 20 episodes. Season 2 does have a nice bonus though: The final episode that was never aired on TV (until SciFi aired it during the marathon) is included in Season 2. In that episode, arch enemies Tru and Jack have to work together. I highly recommend this series. Both season 1 and 2 are awesome! Season 1 is usually much more expensive since it has more episodes. Season 2 averages about $13-17 for the set of 2 discs.

For those of you who happened to catch this series on television, I'm sure that you will agree that this was a great series. The first season was very intriguing with a very good storyline of a morgue attendant who is able to save dead people by reliving days and changing what fate had in store.

The second season was that much better with the addition of Jack, played by Jason Priestley. Now added to the storyline is Tru's alter ego -- a force of evil who tries everything possible to keep Tru from saving lives.

The drama, suspense, and plot twists are amazing throughout the second season. I only wish that there were more episodes to watch. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled after 6 episodes. I still do not understand why. I would watch season after season of this show! A true sleeper of a series and a must see!

I loved this t.v. show. it had a lot of potential. It's about Tru Davies played by Eliza Dushku, who is sent to relive the previous day after someone who should have not died ends up in the morgue she is working at. She has to try and save their life so they don't die. But Jason Priestly has the same gift she does and believes the people should die, that it's life's natural order or selection and he constantly intervenes and tries to stop her from saving the person who asked for her help in the morgue as a dead body.

Tru Calling joins "Charmed" in gathering up the remains of the 65 million
viewer audience worldwide for this television genre for a second,entertaining season. Renewed by Fox for three more complete 22 episode season's in early June after the season 1 finale. Eliza Dushku goes on the promotional circuit
pumping up the second season. This second year brings with it an almost "X-Files" type of mythology arc and delivers the goods in these 8 episodes.
No one will go on record as to why Fox pulled the plug and cancelled the lucrative deal, other than the standard, lawyer approved "rating's slippage".
I've heard rumors, but they don't really matter now. An excellent TV indulgence is gone, but lives on in through your DVD player! Season 2 is a must have for the TRU fan...

I'm so sorry this series is no longer on. I really enjoyed each episode. Tru has a gift of being called on the re-live days to try and help a body that comes into the morgue where she works. There were only five episodes in Season Two, which was a bit disappointing. But I enjoyed each one. Sure wish the show hadn't been canceled! Highly recommended!
