The Event: "Pilot" Review

The Event, next in a series of shows trying to emulate the success and plotting of Lost (see also: Flashforward) certainly starts off with an interesting enough plot (the cliffhanger-what the hell?) but I don't know if it contains the character development and not raising more questions that it can promise to answer to succeed in the long run.

-The main charcter seems likable. I say 'seems' because the pilot just showed him acting nervous the entire time. Better than Flashforward's Mark Benford's cocky, yelling-a-lot behavior though.

-The budget was certainly high and I wonder how long that will keep up.

-Hopefully, the show will answer at least one or two big questions* soon so we can stop listening to people talking in vague terms for lengthy periods of time.

*questions such as "What the f*** is the event?"

7.6/10
