User Reviews

Really captivating

I really don't understand why people are giving the pilot so many bad reviews.It gave enough information about the "rapture" to lure us in, but not completely to spoil it and leave no mystery for later. Its clearly related to Lost, but obviously has its own special elements. I think Lost was a great TV show and this TV show could end up being even better since the creators already know the things the audience dislikes and loves. I can seriously see this TV show becoming one of my favorites soon enough, and if it doesn't keep picked up for another season I will be greatly disappointed and to be honest a bit sad. To the people who disliked the pilot, I think you should wait for the second episode and give the show a second chance.
