I have just watched the pilot now. I like a lot. Any fans of 24, Prison Break and LOST will like this I would have thought.

 

The narrative is a little confusing at first, its told through flashbacks and is a bit all over the place. The first 15 minutes or so were a bit heavy and I really had no clue what was going oit - but stick with it. I am already gripped. It appears to have a science-fiction element to it... - not too sure if that's good or not. I think it would have been better to have NO science fiction and just go down the OTT route that Prison Break and 24 used, and not try to imitate LOST.

 

There's two very good pieces of eye candy for us lads to keep us occupied, and the story is quite interesting. Lots of questions are proposed, although the cliffhanger at the end i'm not too bothered about - I want to know more about the conspiracy!!! Definate 8/10 for the pilot.

i'll check it out, so many good shows starting/coming back all over the place right now its hard to keep track.

just watched it, the narrative style was very messy and the ending was just... didnt fit in with the feel of the rest of the episode. but overall i liked it, i'll be continuing watching it.

So you agree with me on both points! It has potential though, and i'm sure we'll get used to the narrative. I quite liked it at times, but it was pretty confusing for the first half of the show to say the least.

Disappointing ratings... I don't see this lasting.

True, but it suffered massively from not having a good lead-in...

I didn't like it. At all.

I loved the first episode. I found the narrative a little confusing to begin with, but then I got used to it. The ending was a bit "WTF? :mellow:", but I'm already gripped, and wanting to know some answers.

Hmm not sure on the ending. It better not be aliens, that would kill the show for me. All in all, so-so pilot. All still very confusing, character-wise. The time jumps didn't help.

Just watched the second episode. I don't know if it was quite as good as the first episode, but it was certainly another WTF ending :mellow:

I thought yet again it was good. It kept me hooked from start to finish. It's definitely interesting, although there are certainly a lot of questions that need to be answered. I didn't see the Simon twist coming at all.

I decided to give this a second chance and it improved a bit. I had no idea

aliens

were involved.

it didnt keep me that hooked tbh, i can imagine giving up fairly soon.

Confirmed as starting on Channel 4 on Friday 22nd October at 9pm. Since it's a Friday night, and no school the next morning (and so no homework that needs doing straight away :P), I will probably watch all the episodes again on C4, and maybe try to get my mum into it :kink:

getting bored already to be frank, flashforward style, might not even bother with the next episode.

I really enjoyed the latest episode, way better than episode #3. Another good twist at the end, and the President storyline was better this time, because before it was only Sean's story that I was really interested in.

Ratings for this are plummeting fast :o I expect it'll do a Flashforward and be cancelled after 1 season

Indeed. The first episode got a 3.7 rating, with just over 11million viewers iirc, and the latest episode got a 2.2 rating, with about 6.5million viewers :(

Three of my all time fave TV shows. After watching several episodes now do you think it is worth watching? Don't want to bother if it is likely to be cancelled unless it is very good. -_-
