The Invisible Man: Season One (2000)

This short-lived sci-fi series was a late night favorite for me. I was thrilled to discover it again on DVD. The Invisible Man follows Darien Fawlkes (Vincent Ventresca), a con-man turned government agent. Darien can turn invisible thanks to the Quicksilver gland implanted in his brain by his deceased brother, Kevin. Led by The Official (Eddie Jones), Fawkes and his partner, Bobby Hobbes (Paul Ben-Victor) take on the government's tough assignments.

The Invisible Man is exactly like it sounds--outlandish and cheesy, but still manages to ground the sci-fi with believable stories. It's a fantastic mix of great performances by virtual no-names, interesting story lines and complexity that goes beyond the sci-fi/super-spy norm. It's an entertaining series that never got a fair chance.
