Kiefer Sutherland's Return To Television Gets Cautious Praise

Kiefer Sutherland can't have felt anything but pressure as his first major TV role since 10 phenomenal years spent on '24' aired for the first time last night (26 January 2012).
Fans and critics were certainly eager to see how the Canadian actor was going to follow up what has come to be known as one of the iconic TV characters of the 21st century in secret agent Jack Bauer.
'Touch,' which sees Sutherland playing a single father of a mute son who sees things other cannot, aired last night for the first time - and the answer to whether he's managed to follow up what may be career defining role successfully?
A cautious yes, according to the critics.
Newsday was effusive in its praise, saying the program was "A bit melodramatic, a bit manipulative, Touch is still one of the best pilots of the 2011-12 season to date," and others were similar praiseworthy though understandably a little more cautious given it was the pilot episode.
"It's Mr. Sutherland's portrayal of the father--unyielding in his effort to break through to his mute child and grasp what he's trying to say with his numbers--that is the heart of this story, the power likely to sustain this promising enterprise," said the Wall Street Journal, whilst
TV Guide said "[Touch is] emotionally compelling but wildly fantastical and undeniably manipulative."Not all were enthused though, The New York Times commented "The 11-year-old boy at the center of the story has never spoken and is also the show's narrator.
It's a perfectly acceptable device, if not a particularly interesting one in this case," whilst the Los Angeles Times weren't fans at all, stating "Ironically, given a show that so clearly wants to touch its audience--from that weighty one-word title on down--we have met, apart from Martin, hardly a single character who incorporates more than the hint of an actual person.

KIEFER IS STILL SEEING HIS GIRLFRIEND FROM ALLURE!


It's been awhile since we've seen them together, but
"24" star Keifer Sutherland is still seeing his New York girlfriend Siobhan Bonnouvrier.
She's the style director at Allure magazine.
They've been dating since last year and spent the evening in a booth at a hip West Village bar called Kingswood.
They were so wrapped up in conversation that they stayed an hour past closing time.
Doesn't she have to get up and go to work?
They walked out looking Happy,indeed!
Thanks Again!

Well, his publicist has certainly been earning their money over the last few weeks; squashing all the 'naughty Kiefer' stories and replacing them with new 'reformed Kiefer' (not!). I'm surprised the nonsense about them holding hands wasn't repeated.

Oh well, at least we get to see the loveliness that is him and if you close one eye and squint a bit, you don't have to see the dark one at all!

lol Sally-Ann !
Siobhan is a very beautiful woman and if she was not, let's be honest, she would not be with Kiefer.
But, i don't know why, i don't trust her, i hope she doesn't play with him...i don't say she doesn't love him but i believe she likes his status of celebrity.
Her divorce was too quick...
Catherine was more simple and discreet. It's a shame they have broken but it's life and i hope she's happy too.
