## What critics say

Critics found Haunted a moody, competent supernatural procedural whose atmosphere and lead performance were stronger than its formula, and it was not widely embraced before its cancellation.

## Synopsis

Haunted is an American network television supernatural mystery series that aired on UPN in 2002. Matthew Fox plays Frank Taylor, a private investigator whose psychic power draws him into hard missing child cases. Lynn Collins plays Assistant D.A. Jessica Manning, a prosecutor who works alongside him, and Russell Hornsby plays Marcus Bradshaw, adding a grounded counterweight to Frank's visions. Michael Irby and Jessalyn Gilsig round out the principal cast. Each episode centers on a new case, with Frank following visions and physical clues toward a child in danger, while the broader threads of his gift and the people around him build over the season. The show was filmed in Vancouver and presented as a moody, tense procedural with a dark, eerie edge. Its single season was cut short by cancellation, leaving its central mysteries open. Fans of Medium, The Mentalist and The Dead Zone will find resonance in its blend of psychic detection and grim criminal investigation. Viewers who enjoy a case-of-the-week mystery with a supernatural hook will feel at home here.
