When a mysterious object falls to Earth in a blinding flash, it sends out a shockwave that knocks scientist Vera Ivanov unconscious. When she awakes, she finds herself somehow connected to four strangers who collapsed at the same time: Erin, a young woman trying to protect her daughter from an abusive ex-husband; Peter, a troubled high-school student; Raul, a federal agent trying to evade an undercover assignment; and Joshua Jr., a second-generation televangelist. And all of them awake with unexplained powers.

"The Messengers" is an appealing and entertaining cross between "Heroes" and "Supernatural" and has the potential to be just the hit The CW needs and viewers deserve. Go to Full Review Robert Bianco USA Today 04/21/2015
It's clearly a letdown, and while letdowns in TV are not exactly shocking, they remain unwelcome. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 04/21/2015

11/13/2020 Me and family bench watch the entire season and loved it. It would be great to have them return with more seasons, one is not enough. See more steve d @RT35616104 08/03/2020 With a strong premise and some great twists The Messengers is a show that should have had a much bigger audience. See more 01/23/2020 The messengers series showed up in my feed, and I decided to try it out. I was very underwhelmed. The concept was interesting, I suppose, but everything about it was shallow. The character development and choices/ emotions was sporadic, like the creator didn't know how they would act in certain situations. Every other scene would give me an eye roll or a cringe. The best description that I can give for this show is a PG 13 power rangers. See more 12/28/2019 I loved this show... it I am so sad there wasn't another season 😢 See more 12/03/2019 I thought this was a awesome show. See more 11/20/2019 decent show, needed some work but definitely could have made a season 2. I will say season 1 ended well, no loose ends. good binge watch. See more Read all reviews
