In an Instant

After viewing the program, it is clear of the true cleverness and wit that the concept of this show carries. It is unique, powerful, and provides an excellent balance between routine and facts to morality, emotion, and relatability. However, I was sadly disappointed with the redundancy and the un-proportionality of the content to the amount of time the show takes to fully view. This can be explained by a staggering seven commercials in the some ten intervals occurring during the show, followed by the same facts repeated for about twenty-five percent of the time slot following each commercial break. This did cause some eye rolls for me. However, it seems the amount of ads and the stretched out length of the show can perhaps be justified for the small budget the show may have. This repetition and excessive advertising could be a way to plant the seed in the viewer's mind and gain profits for more efficient episodes in the future. It is hard to remain optimistic, but I have faith that this show will round out. It has a fantastic premise, but simply lacks the structure to fulfill its potential. At least for now.

First time I've watched was tonight and will definitely be the last. The story line was a good subject but, the same scenes shown repeatedly over 2 hours is incredibly frustrating. Alright already. Must take some kind of warped talent to take a compelling story and produce it so horribly that by the time the trauma is resolved, I am disgusted with myself for not changing the channel after the first 30 minutes. I just couldn't believe that it wasn't going to get better. In looking over the episode list, I see I watched the 6th episode. Seriously, this hasn't been canceled yet? Even making this an hour program would be dragging it out way past being entertaining. 30 minutes of concise storyline would be just about right.

First off. Completely disregard the 10 star rating someone did (I swear it must have been the show's Producer).

I'm with others, soooo drawwwwwwwwn ouuuuuuuuut. The show begins to annoy you after an hour into the episode when you ask yourself "Hmm, how much longer does this have, must almost be over".... and you realized there is another ENTIRE hour left still. You wonder how that is possible? Did you enter some time-pause-warp universe or something? The last hour is just brutal to get through. It became a missions for me to finish after 100 minutes of watching the same 30 second clips over and over and over and over and over and over and over....(big breath)....and over and over and over and over.... do you see a pattern here? I literally created an IMDb account just to let people know not to bother watching even one episode of this show (or just watch the last 5 minutes). Two hours? Are you kidding me? It's quite impressive how you can take a 1-3 minute "instant" in time and draw it out into a two hour show. I would have rather watched grass grow and paint dry.... they are quicker.

Way to lower my standards in you once again ABC. Do not bother watching, you may die of old age before the episode ends.

I left them on my TiVo to see what my wife thought as well. It was very entertaining to see her go through the same two hours of emotions and confusion on a completely different episode as I worked on the car in the garage. (it was even brutal to hear another episode from that distance). Option...Delete All.

It is essentially the only show like "I shouldn't be alive" or "Im alive", thus i like it. It is a little drawn out long, but I'm OK with that. The good thing about that is you get every little detail. It is essentially the only show like "I shouldn't be alive" or "Im alive", thus i like it.

Most shows like this always tell a 5 minute story over and over again. Although this does this a little bit it is nothing like other shows do. I find this show to be very entertaining. Everything is life like and seems like it could just as easily be you. Its not over dramatic at all, although it is exciting. You know from the beginning that the person lives usually so its not over the top. The real people are telling the story and I haven't found an episode that was dull yet. There are actors showing how the story went but the actual people are telling the story and seems so real, you don't believe for a second that anything is fake or over dramatic. It's really a good show so try to watch an episode, you'll be hooked.
