I was chatting in the cbox about this show and figured I should be discussing shows here!

Just going to basically repeat what I'd already mentioned.

I thought the pilot was a bit better than I'd expected! The heavy advertising leaning on "from the network that brought you Lost" made me a bit leery. A network isn't what makes a show good. It's the writers. So depending on that as your tagline definitely was worrisome for me.

Luckily, it's meeting my expectations so far. Tons of mysteries to unravel! I love that. I love being able to use my brain when watching a show and I so badly crave a show that makes people run to the interwebs to discuss with other viewers and point out things they caught that others might not have (God I miss you, Lost!).

I really like Steve Zahn. Always have! He's always been great at comedy but it's nice to see him taking on a serious, dramatic role.

Looking forward to episode 2 tonight!

If anyone is interested in knowing the filming locations of this show, I found this link (which I will post below) that I refer to often when I watch the show whenever I recognize a place in this show (I live near the filming locations).

Fun fact, parts of this show are filmed in the same town they filmed Once Upon A Time in. It's called Steveston, BC and the scenes you see filmed on wharfs are that town.

That is so awesome!! You'll have to tell me if you head down again and if you see Steve Zahn! I've always loved that dude. It's great to see him doing a serious role. I don't think I've seen him do anything but comedy.


I'm really liking the show! It's even better than I'd been expecting. It's still pretty early to tell exactly what direction they're going with it so I'm crossing (no pun intended) my fingers and hoping they don't take a misstep with all the unraveling they still have to do.

The mystery of the show really draws me in! Definitely my new show to watch every week. Steve Zahn plays an exception lead! I really like his character. And you're totally right Heidi, I've only seen him really do comedies so this new role totally makes me look at him in a different (serious) light and I like it! I also think Natalie Martinez is really great on the show as well. I loved the flack back scenes of the second episode (or flash forward? Haha) that showed what she went through before their escape through time.
