Tru Calling takes a much-more positive look at the concept. If travelling into the past was at all possible, would you choose to help others, or run down to the bookies to make a few bets? The heroine of this series (in the comely-shape of Eliza Dushku) chooses the former - yet her time-travelling is not through her own means. As the title may imply, there’s an otherworldly force sending her into the past. It’s her destiny to help others from nasty ends, and her meddling in the universe appears to be beneficial. Or is it?
Dushku plays Tru Davies, a college graduate, who is trying to put her turbulent youth to rest. At age 12, she witnessed the murder of her mother. At the funeral, the poor girl was convinced that her mother’s corpse spoke to her. Later, her father left, leaving Tru and her siblings - Meredith (Jessica Collins), and Harrison (Shawn Reaves) - to rely on each other. Now, Tru looks forward to her dream of medical school, but her internship falls through; forcing her to take a job at the city morgue, for the mysterious Davis (Zach Galifianakis). She thinks the work experience will provide her with a decent resume, but there’s something else in store for Miss. Davies…
On her first night, Tru is disturbed by strange sounds in the mortuary. Going for a closer look, she finds a corpse, which springs miraculously to life; asking Tru for help! Somehow, time rewinds and the day restarts - allowing her to save the life of that unfortunate who crossed her path. Tru takes this divine intervention in her stride, and with each new body she is sent through time to change the future. After harnessing her “gift”, she soon confides in Harrison and Davis, who are hesitant to believe her at first, but later become entangled in her endeavours. This forms the backbone of the entire series, making Tru the most altruistic person in the world, never using her power to attain wealth or success! In other words, it’s Quantum Leap with death (with a dash of Early Edition too).
