Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Bob Blaylock My wife and I enjoyed this show, but what a challenge it was to keep track of it.  It seems that ABC kept moving it around, pre-empting it with other shows, and generally making it very difficult to keep track of when the next episode was to be aired.  You had to really want to watch this show in order to find it worth the trouble of doing so.  Of course it got very poor ratings.  How could it do otherwise, when it was made so difficult for the audience to keep up with it?   I have to think that someone at ABC very much wanted for this show to fail.  They did the same thing to TimeCop (1997), a TV series based on the movie of the same name.
ClarkF1 Prey was one of the programmes that was kept you hooked and I managed to catch every episode even though it was screened late at night it a slot it never deserved. It kept me away from my study books.I would love to see it revived just to find out the conclusion to the cliff-hanger but unfortunately it's now 4 years and Debra Messing (Sloan Parker) has moved onto "Will and Grace" which is passable.Oh well.....it's a shame I didn't get to video it.
douglasp This is exactly the kind of show that doesn't belong on network TV. After the Dark Shadows revival, Stephen King's Golden Years and a few other great series that get moved around, then dropped, then practically forgotten, ABC should have known better.For some reason, these types of shows just work better in syndication. They show them a couple of times a week. The audience usually knows when to find them. And sometimes they are on multiple cable channels.This show had an attractive cast, an interesting mystery/sci-fi concept, and its story was executed quite well for the most part. Of course it was going to fail on a major network!Stick to the stupid reality/game show format guys. Nobody wants quality. But if you are going to make another one of these, then for Pete's sake, promote the Hell out of it. Give the production team a three year contract. And have a back-up outlet to sell it to when it bombs in Prime Time. And it will bomb in Prime Time.
SilverChex Prey was left with the lead character Tom Daniels kidnapped by a faction of the government, locked in a cage in a dark room, Dr. Ed Tate knocked out with a drug by Tom's kidnappers and Dr. Sloan Parker driving up as Tom is being forced into a van. The romance, mystery, intrigue and intelligence of this show can never be duplicated. We would like to see a TV Movie with some sort of resolve. So often this is the way TV series end on a major network. They could at least give us an ending. I hope to see Prey on television again. The SciFi Channel has been airing the reruns but we want to see something new. Prey is the only show I have ever watched that kept my on the edge of my seat week after week.
