The site's spoiler-filled review not only outlines the concept behind the show - loosely based on Robert J. Sawyer's 1999 novel of the same name, where everyone in the world blacks out for two minutes and has a vision, all witnessing where they'll be at exactly the same point in the future - but also introduces the many, many mysteries and plot strands that are set up for future exploration, and it's an understatement to say that fans of Lost's numerous unanswered questions and crosstime clues will find themselves satisfied here.

I fucking hate shows that rely on mystery (and only mystery) to maintain interest, rather than an engaging and interesting narrative.

If the characters are there and written well I'll be watching. If the story is not about the characters then I won't watch. That is the reason I got into Lost, the characters, not the mystery.

What if the mysteries are presented via engaging and interesting narrative?
