Sucks

The show had potential, but the stagnant plot week after week and over-the-top acting ruin it for me.

I agree. I watched it last week and then again just now and it seems more depressing than entertaining. And then the preview for last week makes me just want to watch something else as it’s predictable as well…

It’s not very believable. The husband sees the man who is in his wifes flash forward in 6 months so he gets upset and questions her… only for her to say “it’s not true” and then does a 180 and says “oh, btw… I don’t trust you no matter what I said earlier and, umm… yea… we won’t work.”

Sounds like her defending the flash forward won’t happen is showing that it will. Whore.

The writing is terrible and the constant re-use of the flashforwards seems to assume the viewer is an idiot. They also REALLY need to tone-down the acting. I want to like this show, but so far it’s been difficult.

I have the last two episodes on my DVR and don’t plan on watching them. The show started out with potential but it’s a fail.

They really do think that the audience is completely retarded… It’s sad. Let people figure shit out on their own, god dammit.

Exactly! Every single plot mechanism is is highlighted and explained at-length at least twice an episode, only to be recapped another half-dozen times the next week.

That’s why I liked Lost so much. There was a lot of stuff that you may not have picked up on, and they didn’t explain it to you. But when you finally figured it out it made the show that much more intriguing.
