I turned it on right at the beginning but I haven't seen the first episode yet. Will I be lost if I watch this one first?

The first 3 episodes were essentially the same exact thing with a different criminal/backstory.

Pretty repetitive so far. Meh

I wasn't lost because I'd read about the premise, but I do want to know what they explained in the pilot. Is there any sort of theory as to what's causing this time traveling or whatnot?


And holy shite, Hurley has somehow managed to get even fatter. Dude can barely breathe. His death appears to be imminent.

I was pretty bored with this episode.
It needs to pick up fast for me to stay interested.

Seems like every episode is gonna focus on a new inmate returning to the city. I'm sure there will be a point to the whole thing, but the mediocre acting and bad casting is gonna cause me to lose interest.

I wish they were making another serial show like lost.

Instead they are following the Fringe format. I expect at some point they will start to deviate.

I really hope this isn't finding a different person week in and week out.

Love the concept, shite execution so far.

I'll give it a few more shows, but it doesn't look promising for them changing the format.

No really strong actors either as some have mentioned.

When the kid killer was talking to the warden in solitairy and he was explaining about killing his brother, it was freaky. what do you think that the doctor in the prison that is back is gonna do with the dead body of the killer at the end. think he might be able to bring him back alive? thought that was kinda weird.

It looks like they probably can reanimate and prolong life. He was obviously talking about the woman that was shot when he said he might need him for a friend. And what was up with the ring he was wearing?

Yea, right before he threw the table around like a boss. I think he was rubbing on her jacket and the shot lingered on his hand with some kind of ring.

Something will have to change during the next episode to keep me tuned in.

As others have said, the acting is terrible and the story line of catching another escaped convict from 40 years ago that does not age each week is already old to me. It started out with some potential, but after watching last night's episode it doesn't look promising.
