Did anyone else catch this? What did you think? I love the format that it's shot. I think the first hour had it's okay moments and then the 2nd hour picked up really good. This could either become a great show or it could completely tank depending on which direction they take it in. Anyone else see it? Thoughts? Good? Bad? FYI. It's the same guy that did Paranormal Activities.

I think it can be good as long as they don't screw it up like they did with Lost.

yep, i will give new shows a shot and watch the first couple of episodes. it was entertaining enough i guess. it's basically paranormal activities shot in the amazon jungle though ......... not real original but entertaining a little bit.

if you liked paranormal activities, you'll find some entertainment value in it.

I loved Paranormal Activity but when I saw the commercial for this I wasn't intrigued. Just doesn't tickle my fancy.

well, this show tanked along with Alcatraz so neither one will be back i wouldn't think.

I fuckin loved this show. It was crazy. Comparing it to Alcatraz was retarded. I think it'll be back for a 2nd season.

well, i liked it too. i don't understand why it didn't do better with the 18-49 crowd. however, it's low ratings compared to alcatraz and both we're expected to be big hits so in that respect, they do hold some similarities.

i'm not sure how a major network can bring back a show that it gave a prime spot on tuesday night and it consistently got its' ass kicked by a cop show spin-off, a stupid reality show, and a not-funny sitcom.

the best we can hope for is that a non-major network brings the show back.

I watched the first episode and I couldn't get past the whiny bitch of a son. He killed any chance at me tuning in a following week with his character. I don't know where the character went after that but it was enough for me.
