'The Pretender'(1996) TV-Show

"There are pretenders among us. Geniuses with the ability to be become anyone they want to be. In 1963, a corporation known as the Centre isolated a young pretender named Jarod and exploited his genius for their research. Then, one day, their pretender ran away..."
This is how the story begins, with Jarod(Michael T. Weiss), a genius-boy abducted by 'The Centre' in order to perform simulations, that 'The Centre' sold to the ones with enough money to buy them, in order to kill/steal/destroy.
When Jarod finds out about the purpose of his simulations, he decides to run away from 'The Centre' and help others. His primary objective is finding his lost family, that he thought dead. Trying to run away from the tracking team conduced by Miss Parker(Andrea Parker) and the one that once was his mentor, Sydney(Patrick Bauchau), Jarod reveals the most hidden secrets of 'The Centre'.
Finding bits of information about his past, and members of his family, then losing them one by one Jarod is constantly on the run. Punishing the ones that deserve it, Jarod is more like a modern action hero, always with a step before everybody else he proves that he really is a genius. Story becomes complicated with each episode and for about 4 seasons Jarod is fighting the evil and 'The Centre' helping he will get reunited someday with his family. Although at the end of those 4 seasons things are unsure about what happened with Jarod, there are four more episodes from the miniseries "The Island of the Haunted" who try to reveal the secrets left unsolved in those 4 seasons of Jarod.
