    That's why you wait until they're done and rent them all so you can watch them without commercial interruptions, weekly waits, or cancellation disappointments.

      I haven't caught on a network show since Lost. I'll watch this given I'm a fan on Abrams work on movies and on Lost.

      I tend to stay away from network drama's and stick with much better tv from AMC, HBO and sometimes showtime.

        You had me at Alcatraz and J.J. Abrams but lost me with the trailer. Prison drama with J.J. Abrams attached only to find out it's a typical cheesy network drama. I'll pass on this one.

          I like Abrams, so I'll tune it initially to see if this series grabs me.

              Oh snap, this show is going to suck.

              Sorry, but that trailer makes it look like rubbish. The plot is also pretty dull.

              My opinion, but I'm not impressed at all.

                  I'm not going to give it a shot until it's somehow going strong in season two and I catch up on DVD.

                      It's a two hour premier, right? When does it start? I don't want to miss it.

                      This will be the first time I've seen Sam Neill on screen since Jurassic Park III.

                        Started at 8 EST.

                        In my opinion so far the acting is bad and the story is rushed. They play similar music to LOST when something is about to happen, it's kinda creepy. Hopefully the second hour gets better.

                            Man that show just gives me some kind of LOST vibe every time something is about to happen. I hope they can pull whatever the hell they're trying to pull off.

                                I'm not hooked yet but I will still watch. Something about the lead actress I'm not feeling right now. It took me a good while to recognize she's Zoebelles daughter from Sons of Anarchy.

                                It feels like LOST for sure, the score, mystery and end the episode with a cliff hanger. I'm looking forward to the interaction between the prisoners in present time.
