The Listener" can't intuit a single original thought - including the surprising absence of humor in exploring Toby's situation.

Toby's "gift" seems to work selectively, as required by the plot, and the paramedic part of his work seems designed largely to get him to crime scenes.

It's all dopey - and as believable as a telepathic paramedic, a supermodel detective and a partner who doesn't notice he's riding around with a psychic.

The characters are not interesting or unique enough for anyone to care.

The plots are complex enough to sustain mystery, and if the mean streets of Toronto aren't all that scary, this is a good thing for a show that is trying not to shock, but to entertain.

This genre is getting pretty tiresome, and The Listener doesn't do much to freshen it up.

There's potential. And if the stories each week use the best aspects of Toby's gift to tell interesting tales, then The Listener might end up being perfect summertime viewing.

"The Listener" feels like late-night cable for an insomniac in January. The chill just isn't worth it.

The Canadians make nice TV - pleasant, intelligent TV, where people, even the bad guys, are civil and fundamentally decent. In a word, "The Listener" is boring. Or, if you prefer alliteration, listless.

The writers, while showing a certain lack of imagination in feeding Toby the voices of passers-by, have at least invested their lead with a mildly intriguing backstory.

A show so stunningly derivative that it feels a little bit insulting.
