Where are series 2, 3, 4 and 5? - By: Susan Belcher, 16 Sep 2007 
I watched this programme 10 years ago on a Tuesday night on channel 5 & was hooked - even if the picture was very grainy. They ran 2 episodes back to back & it was fantastic. So when the first series was released a year & a half ago I preordered it & waited with fear & baited breath - I wasn't let down. I had feared that time would have given my memory the usual rosey glow, & though the memories of a couple of the episodes were more detailed than the episodes themselves I found that these were great to watch.
Some extras would have been nice - region 2 = second class citizen again.
If you're looking for a great series that you can sit down & watch without obsenities & naked bits being flashed at the camera, then this is for you. I've even found myself reading the old legacyweb fanfictions & wishing that they had been made into films.
I have only one question - where are series 2, 3, 4 & 5?
They don't make 'em like this any more! - By: T. K. Robson, 12 Feb 2007 Who would have thought 'Family-atmosphere', the 'chilling supernatural' & 'gripping drama' could all describe the same thing! I must have seen this years ago, & even then only the odd episode hidden awayin the 'graveyard slot' on Channel 5. It came & went as mysteriously as crop circles but when it came on I never missed it. Characters you get seriously attached to, storylines that keep you on the edge of your seat & a health-warning of 'danger, may be seriously addictive' - there really is nothing else like it. Suspend your disbelief, sit back & enjoy the adventures of Derek de Lint, Robbi Chong, Helen Shaver & a talented & dedicated cast as they fight the forces of evil from the comfort of their glorious castle on Angel Island off San Francisco. The Legacy, ancient, secretive & inexplicably hi-tech, delves into the weird & the wonderful, from ancient cursed scrolls to demonic magicians. From the old optimistic school of truth, justice &in this case, the Canadian way cunningly disguised as American, this may not suit you if you're a modern, die-hard cynic who likes to be challenged to the point of tedium by modern television drama. But that would be your loss. A life without the Legacy is a life half-lived.

Finally Coming to DVD - By: Ms. Susan Anderson, 06 Mar 2006 
For those of you who haven't seen the show, Poltergeist: the Legacy is about a team of investigators who fight against the evil that lurksin the "shadows & the night". Its along the same lines as the x-files but without aliens (in this series there are dopplegangers, ghosts, & demons). It is a great show, with many loveable characters who suck you into both their persoanl & private lives & relationships. The special effects & stunts are incredible too, although sometimes the script can be a little cheesy (adding to the enjoymentin my opinion).
So... Why only a four star rating?? Well, there are no extras with the dvd- something all fans crave & the picture quality on the pilot episode is still a little grainy. It really is a great show, whether you're into sci fi, romance, drama or seeing the interplay of people with different personalities & backgrounds, this show is the one for you. Trust me- its worth every penny & more (I pre- ordered this one & bought one from France as I couldn't wait until it was releasedin the UK!)
