In an Instant

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.

Unfortunately I'm stuck at work with nothing to do and this is the only show on TV, so I'm writing this as I'm watching an episode. It's the one about a hostage situation in the electronics store and I don't think I'm giving any spoilers away, but just in case - SPOILER ALERT!

This show stinks. There, I said it. Let me put it this way, I just registered on this site so I could write this review with the hopes of saving you from wasting your two hours of your life.

I can't believe how long and drawn out they have made it. Seriously, they keep showing the same scenes over and over again. I've seen the guy pull down his ski mask like 12 times. There's no reason this should be a 2 hour show. The actual hostage standoff was probably over in less than 2 hours.

They could have made this an hour episode and it still would have been pretty boring. I know this is filler TV but COME ON ABC!! I would have preferred two more re-runs of Shark Tank.

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.

Episodes could have easily been just an hour. Two hours is just a little bit long for this type of show. Production values were pretty good, acting was average or slightly better.

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.
