NBC’s canceled “The Listener” starred Craig Olejnik as a telepathic paramedic who uses his gift to solve crimes.

The Peacock network may not have had any faith in the show, but the Canadians think otherwise.

Preview Clip for NBC’s The Listener
In NBC’s new show The Listener, a young paramedic discovers he has telepathic powers, and instead of using it to easedrop on his neighbors or hit on that very hot blonde woman at the bar, he decides to use his powers for good and, one presumes, solve crimes and what have you.

NBC Summer Sci-Fi
