I'm enjoying it so far.
Not really like Lost to me, so far, which quickly mired itself in plot twists.
I almost which it had a limited life so as to tell a story without trying to figure out on the fly, how to extend it for "just one more season". I especially dislike being jerked around with off the wall episodes totally unrelated and/or unbelievable, just for the purpose of that "one more season".
I can see three seasons with the flash forward premise. If they can extend it beyond that without unbelievable nonsensical plot twists, I'll be impressed. And not a little surprised.
My biggest gripe about any drama is writers who give us stupid characters who stupid things for the sole purpose of furthering a weak plot, when we *all* know they should know better.
I'm pretty forgiving, and don't sweat details like "OMFG, they dubbed the sound of an AK-47 for that guy shooting an m-4!! How LAME!" Spare us the girl trying to escape but falls down because she trips in her stiletto heels. Unless she has a huge bouncy rack, heavily exposed and barely contained. That would bring some reality back into the scene.
So for now, I'm in. Here's hoping.
