Kiefer Sutherland And His 'Touch' Co-Stars Preview Their Powerful New Fox Show (VIDEO)

Most people see the world the same way, but there are a special few who see so much more. Kiefer Sutherland is back on Fox -- in his old "24" timeslot, no less -- with a new drama called "Touch" that explores the stories of those people that can see the art, the mathematics and the physics in everything around us. ("Touch" has a special preview Wed., Jan. 25 at 9 p.m. EST on Fox, before it officially premieres Mon., March 19, 9 p.m. EST.)

After being widowed on Sept. 11, Martin Bohm (Sutherland) quit his high-powered career to spend more time with his 10-year-old son Jake (David Mazouz). Jake has been misdiagnosed with autism because he doesn't make eye contact, doesn't like to be touched and has never spoken a single word. But he is trying to communicate with his father, just in a very unconventional way.

When Jake starts obsessing over a series of numbers -- numbers that eventually turn up in the strangest of places -- and climbing cell phone towers, the authorities are brought in to decide whether he'd be better off in a special facility. Clea Hopkins (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is assigned to Jake's case, but it isn't until he surprises her with insight into her own life that she realizes he has a very special gift.

I sat down with Sutherland, Mazouz and Mbatha-Raw to get their take on the show (which brought me to tears several times in a single episode), including how the other stories of people like Jake all over the world will be interwoven and highlighted each week.

Watch below and tell us: Will you watch "Touch"?

I thoroughly enjoyed the pilot of "Touch". It's very different, thought-provoking, and very touching. I wish the series was starting right away instead of waiting until mid-March. Great show!

love Sutherland have missed him. But why oh why did they have to put
Danny Glover in this show. He needs to go back and make more movies and bad mouth his country
with his buddy Hugo Chavez. I won't watch the show just because of him.
