FlashForward is the ABC show from 2 of the makers of Lost.
 
I know it is not receiving the best ratings in the States but I'm from Ireland and I know quite a few friends who enjoy it. Just wondering what all of you think of it. Would you rate it at all or is it just not your taste and why do you think it's failing in the States.

I love it anyway. I do need to catch up on a few of the recent episodes though. I can't understand why it isn't doing better in the ratings though.

I love it! I watch it on Hulu because I never have time to watch it live. Unfortunately due to poor ratings I don't think it will get renewed but here's to hoping!

It's based on a book from the ninties which has the same title. It's about the entire world blacking out for a little over 2 minutes and they see there future. I started watching Lost because of this show, I don't think it will ever be on the same level as Lost (even if it makes it to a second season); I quite enjoy it and so do a lot of people over here anyway. Here's hoping it gets  a renewal.

It is alright, but they are dragging it too much. Some episodes are about relationships that are very uninteresting, they should focus more on the mystery part of the series. Right now it feels like you know what is going to happen. It started of well though but grew worse for each episode, just as fringe did. 
 
Oh and the main actor... uses his eyebrows WAY too much to convey feelings, horrible just horrible!

I like it. It's a bit stupid at points, but y'know- whatever.
I realised yesterday that FlashForward is basically a cinematic adaptation of That's So Raven.

It doesn't have the same ability to suck me in as Lost, but you can tell they're trying.  I usually tune in every week but it's just as exciting.

@Briggs713: I don't watch the show, but I'd definitely agree that they're applying the same pressure to that whole "I-crave-mystery" part of the brain.
 
I'm just amazed how ABC recycles all the actors it can from Lost, between this show and V. And then that new horror show that's coming soon.

Then you sure as hell don't want to watch it, because the characters utter the words "flash forward" very frequently. And it never stops sounding dumb.
 
It's not great, but I still like watching it.
