In today's column, I review Fox's
"Past Life":
I briefly wondered if I found Fox’s reincarnation detective drama "Past Life" so silly because I don’t believe in past lives. Then I remembered that I also don’t believe that a tropical island could heal a paralyzed man’s spine or travel in time and space, yet I love "Lost." And that the idea of a man having a computer in his brain seems goofy to me, yet "Chuck" is one of my favorite shows.
More to the point, I don’t believe in any kind of psychic phenomena, yet I’ve often found "Medium" to be an effective, well-made show.
So, no, I don’t dislike "Past Life" because I’m a skeptic, but because it’s not very good.
