LOST was almost ten years ago. Get over it. But more importantly, after watching the pilot to this, this really failed to answer my question of whether this premise had enough fuel to justify a season let alone a series. In fact, if it’s diversions into different directions are any indication, it’s only reassured my skepticism. What starts out as some intriguing character study on the effects of someone in an extraordinary event (although subtlety is not the show’s friend, as Chriastianity allegories are laid on thick to the level of caramelizing), soon finds roots in what seems to be conspiracy theory. But clearly that’s not interesting enough, as midway through it becomes What Women Want via Black Mirror. This becomes crucial as there’s a subplot with a missing persons case, and almost the second this ability comes into play, you know exactly what’s going to happen. The one strong point is that the acting is solid. Just solid, though. There’s nothing great about the cast yet. So, I don’t think this show really has steam to keep going. I doubt it even had enough fuel as a Black Mirror one-off. Nor does any of the mysteries it raises make me want to keep coming back. But then again, I’m always of the opinion that pilots are among the absolute worst episodes of a series, so I’m leaving it room to impress me.

I liked the pilot but do they have enough story to tell?
I keep investing time into shows like this and they get cancelled before payoff.
