Anyone else watching this TV series? It debuted this past Monday on NBC. It's something like Lost meets The Crossing meets Touch.

Not sure what direction this show's going to go, whether they're gonna go all in on family drama like This Is Us or focus more on the scifi and investigation stuff. Also, is it going to be heavily procedural with a "passenger of the week" being focused on every ep, or be more serialized?

Here is the trailer, but be warned it spoils every twist in the pilot episode, so if you want to be surprised, don't watch the trailer before watching the pilot.


Edit: NBC took down their own trailer, so here is a mirror:

I watched it.

This whole concept sounds better as a movie to me.

I really didn’t like the twist they unveiled with the bus scene.

But it needs at least one more episode to be fleshed out.

Funny how the main girl didn’t call her best friend yet after She landed. And then that twist follows after that fact...

2nd ep wasn't bad. Super obvious who committed the jewelry store robbery, but the rest was okay.

So is there any question at this point that the wife has gone full lesbo? There are only 2 reasons to keep the identity of her “lover” secret. 1) it is a dude we know or 2) it isn’t a dude. And there aren’t any non-passenger dudes we know except the detective.

Still like this show, but not a fan of the solution to the murder mystery, which was anticlimactic.

The previous ep had made it seem like the killer was going to be some sort of shadowy recurring antagonist.

Instead it just turns out be an acquaintance of the victim with no involvement in the larger conspiracy storyline.

I enjoyed the premier. I told my wife they should have called it "Found". But I'm already losing interest after the 2nd one. But my wife is into it. We didn't watch the 3rd yet.

Thought Episode 4 was a little weak after 3 really good ones. Pretty entertaining show.

I haven’t seen last night episode, but I think this show is ok. It is trying too hard, I think, to be the new Lost. I am not sure if the show has legs past 2 or 3 seasons, though. Where will they take it once they reveal what happened on the plane?

I watch on Hulu, and thought it dropped on Hulu on Monday’s. I was wrong. It drops on Tuesdays.

My bad.

I just heard about the show last week. I watched the first 4 shows over the weekend On Demand. The 5th episode was on tonight in NBC. I thought I may missed it last night.

This show is getting a little too weird. Not sure it’s gonna make it for me.
