Did anyone watch this on Five on Monday?

Excellent stuff!

i recorded it , and hope to watch it soon. however, this kind of series rarely grabs me.

I saw it and think it will turn out to be something like Lost and the season will drag on and just endlessly twist and turn. This is assuming we're talking about the same show.

eww. I hope not. stuff like lost left me cold.

I could never get into Lost, 24, etc. I'm surprised I liked this, to be honest. I hope you're not right, Ian!

I found Lost a tremendous disappointment from the start, and stopped watching after the first two episodes.

FlashForward is looking far more promising. A more tightly written plotline, for a start, and more realistic, at least superficially. We're just hoping it doesn't start turning into a soap opera.

If it hadn't got Jack Davenport and Alex Kingston in it I would probably have passed it off as American tosh and not watched it; I'm glad I did watch and I will be watching next week's one too.

All kinds of potential to run off at ridiculous normals though (no, not tangents!), see Lost; if they actually run a whole complete story in one series it could be pretty good.

Only hit television in Ireland in the last 3 weeks and has been dissapointing so far. It has a decent storyline though and knowing American TV it will be milked for 10 seasons. It was based on a book aswell which could be worth reading.

We had to go to Australia just as things were getting good, but I lucked out because it was showing down under at essentially the same point! I may have missed one episode.

I recently bought this shirt.

I was a bit nervous because I'd heard the US broadcaster had placed the show "on hiatus", which usually means it's about to be cancelled. But they're going ahead with it now.

Still upset at the cancellation of Defying Gravity, which was getting very interesting indeed. Presumably it contained too little action and too much need for thought to be attractive to the US networks.

I was also annoyed at defying gravity, I was getting quite intrigued about the whole thing.
