The Resume

    (April 21, 1996-November 12, 1999)
    Television show portraying the activities of a group called The Legacy fighting the forces of darkness in San Francisco
    Starred Derek de Lint, Helen Shaver, Martin Cummings, Robbi Chong and Alexandra Purvis
    Joined in later seasons by Kristin Lehman
    Originally broadcast on Showtime before moving to the SciFi Channel

Why Poltergeist: The Legacy might be annoying:

    Almost every scene was shot at night (often entire episodes) giving the show a dark look that made it actually hard to watch.
    It had a very distinct directorial style that was paced so glacially that it often made even action scenes boring.
    It was set in San Francisco, but other than an occasional background shot of the Golden Gate Bridge it showed nothing of the city.
    It had nothing to do with the Poltergeist movies.
    It had a stupid crossover episode with the WWE featuring the wrestler The Undertaker in character as his WWE persona, a demonic being.
    It never won a major award in any category.

Why Poltergeist: The Legacy might not be annoying:

    Unlike most Showtime series it didn't use nudity/gore/profanity for ratings.
    It was very well written.
    It used a large cast of semi-regulars that appeared in a couple to a dozen plus episodes to great effect.
    It had a very good regular cast.
    It stuck strictly to the horror theme and didn't try to X-File things with space aliens.
