John Doe is Fox's new show about a man who washes up on a Seattle beach and has lost all memories of who he is, but he seems to know as much as google. He has amazing abilities. And he's well played by a new Australian actor, Dominic Purcell.

From an excellent article at

LOS ANGELES - While the title character of "John Doe" searches for his
identity, the new Fox drama is on an even more crucial quest for viewers.
Its mission is helped by an intriguing concept, that of a man who washes
up on a Seattle area island lacking any memory of himself or his life but
with boundless knowledge and the ability to quickly master a skill.
That sets up clever scenes in which Doe, who becomes an amateur
crime-buster while trying to solve his own mystery, rattles off enough
factoids to fill a CNN Headline News screen and is an instant pilot, race
car driver or whatever's needed.
Another plus for "John Doe" is its handsome star, Dominic Purcell, who
manages to make his know-it-all character both likable and swagger-free.
(snip, end quote)
Wow. Gabrielle "Scent of a Woman" Anwar enters the scene in the most
incredible episode yet in this series. I missed last weeks because of a
crashed tivo but I'm glad I caught this ep'.
Meanwhile, the series keeps edging closer and closer to CSI with every
episode. Why not, just like the hero, the show itself is desperately
seeking an identity and watching this identity crisis is very
entertaining.
Friday night on Fox at 8 pm.
