	tvdvdreviews.com -- Tru Calling: The Complete First Season DVD Review
		It is the tenth anniversary of her mother's brutal murder, an as-yet unsolved crime of which Tru was the sole witness.
		Tru's internship at a local hospital has dried up, and she is instead forced to work at the dreary morgue.
		You see, Tru works in "The Crypt," a division of the morgue that receives only victims of unnatural deaths: accidents, murders, suicides, etc. Many of The Crypt's inhabitants are cruel victims of fate.

	Fate-Based Initiative - By Dana Stevens - Slate Magazine
		Where Tru's calling is to prevent, by hook or crook, what seem like inevitable deaths, Jack's mission is the opposite: He travels back in time to ensure that those fated to meet their maker do so unimpeded.
		Tru Calling's moral universe lacks Buffy's goth-religious underpinnings; Jack and Tru are presented not as supernatural agents of good and evil, but as mortal human beings wearily saddled with differing ethical missions.
		Ironically enough, Tru Calling itself is currently on artificial life support; the series was canceled in 2004 after its first season, and the six second-season episodes being screened over the next month are serving as temporary placeholders for the spot just vacated by Point Pleasant, another supernatural-themed teen drama.

	AfterEllen.com - Tru Calling's "Star Crossed" Lovers
		In its sixth episode, called "Star Crossed," Tru is called to the scene of a car wreck that killed two teenagers, Adam (Johnny Pacar) and Jen (Rachael Bella).
		Tru is confused because Amy is not the girl in the car wreck, and her confusion only deepens when she runs into Jen in the cafeteria at lunch and discovers that Jen and Adam barely know each other.
		Tru also does not appear fazed by the girls' relationship, once she gets over her initial surprise, and her error at automatically assuming the victims were heterosexual is obvious to both Tru and the viewer.

	Amazon.co.uk: Tru Calling - The Complete Series: DVD: Eliza Dushku,Zach Galifianakis,A.J. Cook,Shawn Reaves,Jason ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		I seen Tru Calling advertised on the tv and thought Id watch the first episode to see what it was like, a girl hearing dead people asking for her help and her reliving the day to try to stop them dying.
		Tru Calling is a show with a likable and attractive lead, an interesting premise, and two talented actors playing support to Eliza.
		Tru Calling is great family viewing and our teenage children and 'the oldies' sit down and watch it together.

	Tru Calling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The premise of Tru Calling makes it alluring, and I really think there are so many things that can be done with the idea, that it won't get boring or jump for awhile.
		Tru Calling has never jumped the shark imho and judging by the way it's going now, it would take something pretty major (like, all the cast shaving their heads and doing the mambo at the morgue, major) to make it do so.
		No longer was the show focusing on Tru dealing with all the complexities of trying to alter the future and facing all the ensuing moral dilemmas, which is what made the show so interesting.

	DVD Talk Review: Tru Calling: Season 2
		So begins the series, as Tru finds herself rewound through time to some point earlier, realizing that she is the only one who can help solve the cases of the "unnaturally" dead.
		While she's called upon to save the lives of others, she's also got to focus on those closer to her: Harrison (Shawn Reaves), an arrogant brother who finds himself in trouble again and again, and Meredith (Jessica Collins), her sister who has been in rehab and looks like she's falling into drugs.
		Tru's estranged father, who has his own intentions, has also moved back into town, acting like he wants to start over with Tru and her brother.

	Boston.com / A&E / TV / To extend its life, 'Tru Calling' must bury some story lines
		Tru runs, her long hair flowing down, but she doesn't sweat, nor does she get winded.
		Tru is a caretaker by nature, which is why she's in the business of helping strangers and family members and which is probably why she never smiles.
		Tru's true calling is to save the world, although she might have a future in marathoning if the talking-cadaver thing doesn't work out.

	Classic TV & Movie Hits - Tru Calling / Heroine / Tru / True Calling
		Tru Calling has been cited by television critics, bloggers and science fiction fans as an example of a show that was not given time to find an audience or adequately develop its premise.
		Fox television could not decide what to do with Tru Calling, first renewing it for a second season, than shortening its length to 6 episodes, and promising and moving the show's second season airdate from November, 2004 to an undefined time in 2005.
		Tru Calling's cancellation has added fuel to speculation and fear within the sci-fi community when it comes to network television, which has already suffered from abrupt cancellations of other genre shows by Fox and other networks, and trepidation about whether to watch sci-fi genre shows lest they not last more than one season.

	Tru Calling: The Complete First Season DVD - RopeofSilicon.com
		"Tru Calling" is the story of Tru Davies, pun intended, she is a bit of an odd bird as her only power is not that of seduction, but she has the ability to change the future by reliving the past.
		Word has it that there were only six episodes shot for the second season of "Tru Calling" and fans are going to have to fight just to see those, and it really sounds like they will be getting something like a limited showing on the FX channel and then shot out on DVD.
		"Tru Calling" is entertaining enough to enjoy it once through, but without the final payoff this DVD set may be just as dead as the series itself, only time will tell.

	Tru Calling: The Complete First Season
		Tru Calling is one of several recent teen-oriented dramas with a sci-fi/paranormal spin, following in the footsteps of shows like Smallville, Roswell and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (in fact, Eliza Dushku turned down an offer to play Faith in a proposed Buffy spin-off in order to star in Tru Calling!).
		Structurally, Tru Calling is reminiscent of other, gimmicky shows (like The Dead Zone, Quantum Leap and Sliders) in which the protagonist has a special ability that enables him or her to pop into all sorts of one-time situations.
		Tru eventually confides in her boss Davis (played with quirky sensitivity by the bearded Zach Galifianakis), and mid-season she discovers another person with her same ability - Jack Harper (played by Jason Priestley).

		Tru takes this divine intervention in her stride, and with each new body she is sent through time to change the future.
		Tru Calling has developed a rather harsh reputation, but it was a decent mix of fantasy and drama while it lasted, with some good performances by Eliza Dushku.

	Tru Calling \| PopMatters Television Review
		That is, just when Tru thinks she has avoided that certain disaster she's spent the previous 40-something minutes trying to avoid, she recognizes that another possibility has eluded her, and indeed, disaster still looms.
		In fact, according to the pilot episode, Tru has a longstanding affinity for dead people, beginning with her mother murdered in front of her when the girl was only 12 (this leads to the refrain that mom "died before her time" -- remember it).
		He conjectures, Tru grabs at most likely causes and effects, finds the girl and tries to manage her movements with regard to a married boyfriend (Callum Keith Rennie) and a stalker ex (John Haymes Newton).

		And Tru has to hope someone else dies so that she can go back in time, then when she does, she spends most of the show telling her brother not to act so stupid, then he does anyway.
