When I first started watching this show the premise seemed pretty cool and I was hoping it would develope into an interesting sci-fi show. However, that's not what has happened. This has to be the slowest moving show ever produced. It also has so many side stories that the main story is only addressed for about 5 minutes every episode. I also hate the soundtrack, which doesn't fit the show at all. Your thoughts?

Not even close. I find it pretty entertaining and I plan on watching for as long as it's on.

This was my thoughts on it as well. It seems more like something that would make a better movie than a series. There's only so far you can go with ideas like this I think.

It is pretty bad. It feels like ABC is trying to fill the void for Lost. Of course it's unlikely for them to reach the level that Lost is at, but it really is just a bad show. Granted, I've only seen the first four episodes.

Tried watching the first three episodes. I suppose I agree. Trying to hard to be all sci-fi and weird, marketing it like the new Lost.

But if you have seen four episodes its possible it could get better but highly unlikely.

The show annoys the hell out of me. It started out great, cool premise and all and I really was excited to see what was going to happen. Ever since it has been completely hit or miss, and when it misses it is really bad. The only reason I still watch it is for those few moments and rare episode it is actually good and progresses. I don't want to give up just yet, but man the show isn't helping. I mean how could they follow up last weeks great episode with the crap they aired this past Thursday??

I watched the first two episodes but due to other commitments and time constraints I couldn't keep up. I was considering getting the episodes and watching them this week or next but it sounds like I shouldn't bother. Does it really get that slow and boring? Are we talking daytime soap opera slow??

most boring goes to hills because nobody in there right minds watches except people with shallow lives. It's ok. I was liking v but the last episode was dull.

No. I watched 2 episodes but I won't be watching any more. It seems like it's going to be one of those shows where they just drag you along and you don't find out what's going on until their viewer numbers drop low enough to cancel the show, and then they just manufacture some lame end to the show.

I haven't watched it so far. I think since LOST was a hit there are far too many shows coming out with slight sci-fi edges trying to convince you it's the next big thing.

I haven't bothered to watch it. But I got the impression that it was one of those shows that strings you along, only for you to think 'What the hell was that all about?' when it ends.

I say so. It's not my kind of show. I'm into CW's Supernatural. Now that show is fun to watch!

The first two episodes were pretty good but the rest have been fillers and the only "good part" of those shows were the last 5 minutes when something mildly interesting is revealed.

Some peole still love it though...I don't think that it's boring or slow it's that it's pretty average compared to my two favorites Dexter and Breaking Bad.

You're judging a show (that isnt a sitcom) based on the first two episodes? Wow.
