The Pretender - All Seasons

Jarod is a Pretender-a genius whose exceptional intelligence allows him to assume various identities at will, be it doctor, test pilot or lawyer. Taken from his parents at an early age, Jarod was brought up in the Centre, a think-tank facility where he believed his computer-like mind was being used to benefit mankind. But when he learned the simulations he solved were being sold to the highest-bidder no matter what their intent, Jarod escaped. Now on the run, Jarod embarks on a search for his true identity while also attempting to balance out any wrong his simulations have caused by helping people who are as powerless as he once was.

According to his sleek nemesis Miss Parker, Jarodis "a genius who can become anyone that he wants to be." As the second season begins, he's still on the run and her father, Mr. Parker, is still missing. In his place, the Centre has installed the smooth Mr. Lyle and his associate Brigitte. In the premiere episode, it will also be revealed that Mr. Raines survived last season's assassination attempt. A few episodes later, Mr. Parker will return, but by then Miss Parker won't be so sure he's really her father. Then again, nothing on The Pretender is ever what it seems...
