From the same network that gave us Lost, and from the co-writer of The Dark Knight comes a new TV show called Flash Forward.

At the exact same time for 2 minutes and 17 seconds, everyone on earth blacked out.
Planes dropped out of the sky, drivers crashed their cars, swimmers drowned...


It's only got to episode 3 so far but... jeeez it is epic.

So far... I can't think of any other Sci-fi / drama... or TV show that is this good.
Watch the first episode, the budget for this thing must be astronomical, it looks just as good as blockbuster hollywood films.

I just hope they don't drag it out for 10 seasons.

I have not watched it due to the fact that A: i don't usually watch ABC anymore and B: there is something else on while it is that i watch, but i doubt they are going to drag it out for 10 seasons.... I just hope they don't do an anti-climactic ending like they did for the US version of Life on Mars.

Not my cup of tea.

Sounds good; I have heard of it. What channel is it on for us in the UK Omen?

---

@gilburtgtr - In the UK it's on Five.

I have to admit, when I saw the pilot episode of the show, I felt that it was a little bit too contrived.. There was so much happening, and the only way to get everything across to the viewer was to put it in the narrative, but I watched the second episode today (I'm running behind) and it was much much better.

There's loads of stuff going on at the moment, so there's much potential. But on the other hand, they might take it down a crappy route. It may have the problem of starting as a brilliant idea and then straying down a disappointing path. So I'm not letting my expectations get too high for the show, but I'm enjoying seeing where it's going to go.

I have watched all the episodes released so far and I love it, but I won't go as far to say that it is the most epic TV show. That title goes to Chuck (which I highly recommend to anyone). Flash Forward is still epic, but just not as epic as Chuck. Can't wait till the next episode though.

^^ Hellz yeah Vanstorm you are straightaway in my top 10 members of GU now! Chuck rules completely hahaa! I loved last night's episode, best of season 2 so far IMO. Only two anticipation-filled weeks left. ...ahem... rant over.

---

You haven't watched all of season 2? They don't even air it here in Australia (well probably on pay TV, but I don't have that), so I just watched it online as it finished in America ages ago and I am now waiting for season 3 (which took a 2 month campaign launched by fans over there called "Save Chuck" to get). They said that season 3 will air by March 2010, but most places are saying that it will be earlier then that.

---

hmm... I need to watch Chuck it seems. Although, can it really be that good after it was cancelled only 2 seasons in?

---

^^ Its all personal opinion I guess...
