Love the premise, but this kind of show needs to hit home run after home run to survive. It's not as good as other sci-fi serials of recent years that got cancelled, so I'm not anticipating a long life for this one either.

Loved the first sequence, the hook, and had high hopes based on the premise alone. The image of all those people underwater and the set up, their origin, escape from the future, and the mom giving air to her daughter and later disappearing... it all worked. Then it lost steam or just turned into something that feels (so far) too much like a crime drama. Disappointed. Thought it was funny to hear, "From the network that brought you LOST". The network.

I have the first episodes recorded but haven't got around to watching them yet. The premise is very similar to a Spanish/British co-production from a few years ago (which I haven't watched) but IMDb doesn't list it as a remake. www.imdb.com/title/tt4011172/reference

It's pretty slow paced. Steve Zahn is better than I thought.

I like it so far. But I also wasn't looking for it to be the next LOST. Zahn is great imo.

I will have to check it out since I really like Steve Zahn.

It was going good until the government sent a group of apparently stupid, blind and/or cross-eyed gunmen to capture the woman from the future.

I have now watched the first two episodes and I am really liking it so far. I kind of wished they hadn't revealed so much information already, but I understand that they can't afford a slow start as it may lead to an early cancellation.

Eh, not loving it at all, feels very bland and Zahns character is sort of unlikable.

This show is really losing me now. Too many stupid sub-plots. Too many annoying kids. The Apex is way too powerful to make it interesting. The bad guys are idiots. I like the cast but I tuned in for a show about people from the future and last night I got a melodrama about children of divorce and a superhero show.
Seriously, the only thing that the apex woman hasn't done yet is make metal claws come out of her hands (a la Wolverine).

Also the very show lacks urgency, i am not getting a sense of foreboding dread coming at all.
