Dear Edward

This show is spectacular! I don't understand how anybody could not like this show. In my opinion this may be the best television series on TV right now. I am watching all the good stuff out right now and this easily hits my top 3. The acting is superb, the writing is fantastic, the storyline is on point, and it will warm your heart in every way. I wish we had more shows like this out right now. This is a show you could watch with the family but there is a small amount of bad language here and there and a couple romantic scenes, but no nudity. I think it sends a good message to teenagers and kids. It's a must watch for all!

I bumped into this series by chance and I really didn't know what to expect. It starts slowly as if for many people the tragedy of the plane crash had frozen them in time. But it's just a facade a multilayered one but a facade. A group is formed for the grieves and beneath the surface of every single character, there's an entire world to discover. One one hand a tragedy has ripped people apart and on the other the tragedy has brought together a variety of people that would not have met otherwise. Then we have our miracle boy, the only survival of the plane crash who has to find the strength to carry on with life despite having lost his parents and his hero older brother with whom he was inseparable. Yet, he is not alone: nobody is! This series is a reminder for us all not to take anything for granted because every moment can be your last or someone else's. We get lost in our human drama and suddenly a wake up call happens and we regret not having said or done certain things. We don't know why we are here but every moment counts and every person needs a hug. It's an extremely profound drama which touches a lot of no no buttons. Watch it with an open heart because that's where this series belongs.

After watching the 3st episodes, I can tell you that this show, so far,is pretty good.

I like what they did, without going into too much details to avoid any spoilers, they pretty much wanted us (the viewers) to be interested/focused on the plot. But then, brought really interesting characters and then skillfully shifted the focus of the show to another in a really chirurgical way. Beautifully done.

As i'm sure you've read the synopsis, it starts by you being focused on the whole crash/incident and then will have you focus on the aftermath and especially onto these characters.

And I think they did this transition really well.

I can't put my fingers on what exactly I was expecting going into this show, but it wasn't this, and i've suprinsingly really been enjoying those 3 episodes.

So if you're looking the reviews to decide on whether you should give this show a shot or not, the answer is yes.

And if you don't like it, it's fine.

The show starts at a peak and although it does not maintain its momentum, the episodes that follow are still worth getting credit. Once you get attached to the life of the orphaned boy at the start of the show, feeling how he feels and knowing why he is not like any other ordinary kid, I swear you won't want to miss any part of the show. It is also impressive about how the same boy picks up friends and its unlike any other kid would act after undergoing the same trauma. The support cast also deserves much credit after all for making the show such a great one to look forward to watch. These are inclusive of characters whom their relatives, husbands and loved ones become diseased following the aftermath at the start of the show. All of the cast contribute to the tonnes of emotion in the show. Overall, it is a wonderful show.

Everything about it is designed to tug at my heart. The performances are wonderful. But, I find it slow and tedious with implausible moments and scenes. But, worst of all are the constant pop songs for every scene. It just feels like a giant club beating me into CONNECTING & FEELING. Let ME find the moment, don't point a giant emotional song at it like: "Here is the part where you should feel melancholy."

I like Jason Katims, I love Connie Britton but, this is a miss for me. I'm sad because I was looking forward to it and because Katims is talented but I just feel this is so constantly poignant that it dulls you after a while.
