Is anyone going to watch this on Monday night? Has anyone seen it already in the US? I can't work out if it looks good or crap.

It is supposed to be the new Lost, but until they have a Sawyer in it, I'm not convinced.

blimey i hope it's not the new lost - i don't have the stamina for 8 seasons or whatever lost was

I know, I do enjoy Lost but will be glad when it ends next year. I have that awful feeling though it won't tie up properly and it will be a really obscure ending.

Well, shall set the sky plus for Monday then.

I'll be watching tonight - hopefully will be a good series to get my teeth into after being disappointed with Harpers Island

watched the first one last night will watch a few more I think then decide, high concept stuff tends to fall flat if badly done but am hopeful

reminds me of the original idea for Odyssey % anyone remember that?

No idea about it being the new Lost, but it sounds quite good, and has a nice array of 'actors that I've seen before' in it

Odyssey 5 that was

btw are all British actors now working in American television?

Is that Joseph Fiennes?

Yep.

I'm enjoying it so far. Anyone else?

I'm watching it. Looks good but I have no staying power, there are 22 episodes and I already know I am going to miss at least 6 of them!

I'm watching. Looks promising so far.

I think I've lost interest already, but Mr Fiennes is very watchable

I thought it started pretty well - I will be watching - want to know what the vision was that the little girl had.

Thought it was good, an interesting premise. Did remind me a lot of the first episode of Lost though when everyone was coming round from the plane crash.

The little girl apparently wasn't with her mum or her dad in her vision (as theirs didn't include her) so I wonder what she saw...

And who was the dude in the long coat at the baseball stadium!

It sounds like it only has a passing similarity to the novel though - from the wiki it says that they have a 21 year flash forward, it's a different lead character, and possibly a different reason (won't say what was going on at the time of the flash just in case it is connected)
