The second season of the TV adaptation of Stephen King's best-selling novel comes to life with even more plot twists than the first season. After a near-fatal car wreck, Johnny Smith (Anthony Michael Hall) is left in a coma for six years. When he awakens, he discovers he's developed astonishing psychic powers that allow him to see into the future life of anyone he happens to physically touch. King's trademark suspense runs strongly throughout.

Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this sci-fi drama based on a Stephen King novel depicts supernatural powers, crime, murder, and conspiracy. Situations can be scary and sometimes involve children at risk. Several characters are shady, including a Christian church leader. Storylines involve intimate adult relationships and sometimes include potentially confusing messages about marriage and sex.

Sexual Content

Kissing; sexual objectification by bad characters. Adults have intimate relationships.

Violence

Murder, suspenseful situations, shooting, hate crimes -- not every episode includes graphic violence, but some do.

Language

"Son of a bitch" and other lesser cursing.

Social Behavior

The main character uses his powers for good, but some characters, including an evangelical reverend, are morally ambigious, and some are downright rotten. One African American character in an otherwise all-white cast.

Consumerism

Some product placement, like Apple computers.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Bad characters sometimes drink.
