I've seen a few ads for this new series. So far only one episode has broadcasted however I"m thinking that I may want to try to catch up on it. Has anyone else checked out this show? If so, what are your thoughts?

I watched the first episode on my computer last evening and it was kind of scary. It seems to have the same grainy footage as the Blair Witch Project but I can get used to that.

I plan to watch the rest of the episodes but will be watching on the computer because I can't miss NCIS LA..lol. We seem to have a ritual at our house on Tuesday evening, NCIS then NCIS LA.
Jenny,

We decided to go ahead and watch it as well. I watched the first 3 episodes on the computer today. I really liked the 1st and 3rd ones. The 2nd one was a little slow.

It was good enough to make me want to see more.

Is this a mini-series? I watched the first episode and thought it was pretty good.
Joan,

I believe it's a new drama series however I'm curious to see how the current storyline could be drawn out over years. It seems so finite.

I was hoping they had some sort of conclusion in mind or the show will start to wander a bit over time, kind of like Lost did. We watched Lost the first couple years and then it seemed like you never really found out anything and it just wandered around.

This one could get like that also. I think it would be a better mini series really.
I agree. I don't really see how far the story could go. I mean, if you find the husband/father, the next goal is to get home. Do they never find him? Do they find him and spend 5 years trying to get home?

i saw the commercials, and it looked good but I was never able to actually catch the show. When does it come on in your area.
Dianne,

Honestly I don't know when it comes on. I caught the first few episodes online (it was free on YouTube). The rest have been recording on the DVR but I haven't had a chance to watch them. It looked interesting but honestly I think the previews give it more credit than it deserves. I'll end up catching up on it one day when I'm home and bored.

I do want to see this, but I forgot what it was called. I'll have to see if I can watch it from the beginning online somewhere.
