Avis à la une
Why is it whenever there is a great show it gets canceled? And many are left unfinished. This story could of went on for many seasons. Great cast and story line. So many shows get a lot of hype months before premiere and then bomb. Yet the network will drag it on for a few more seasons trying to convince us that it will eventually get better.
This show isn't like that. A great show that silently gets cut. Who are these people who make these decisions? Too many shows get canceled without closure. Tera Nova was another great one. Jericho could of ran for years! Yet, they hype up Revolution, which was a bomb, that I'm sure they will try to run with it for years.
I really liked Persons Unknown. Last episode left me wanting to see more. Too bad the network didn't see it that way. Now days, if you don't have "C.S.I.", "reality show" or dumb slap stick comedy in it, it won't make the cut. It's sad!

While slow at first I think this show is a keeper ! better than a "the Prisonner" clone, different than Lost, this show has potential. Are there bad guys in the team ? why are they there etc... the lack of info makes it all the more compelling, but you have to get over the first two episodes... then you're hooked ! It seems you can't defeat the defenses of the town easily. They kill you if you try too hard, and yes, they are underground as well.. but are they in the air ? the delivery of the gas masks by helicopter suggests otherwise.. where is the town ? when they escape for a bit, you can see rolling hills with hand-made hay stacks, the type to be expected in an Amish community or in eastern Europe, or the middle east (arabic speaking taxi driver)...
Alright I know this is going to be a fairly hollow review because it is based on one episode. But the first episode has set a strong tone of mystery and drama similar to oh, I don't know... LOST? The complete and total combination of mystery and randomness is a great way to get the audience interested, but is hard to build on. It puts the audience in the detectives position; trying to figure out who the inside man is and how all these people are connected.
The first episode showed brief glimpses of the outside world as it followed a reporter as he pursued the case of one of the abducted people. This is a smart move by the writers, giving the audience some background without resorting desperately to flashbacks.
The reason this show could be terrible is because it can lose its mysterious aspects too quickly or too slowly. If it is lost too slowly and the characters make little progress in escaping, the show grows boring. If they escape to quickly, well, the show is near impossible to continue.
Yes this review is very premature, but at this stage I recommend that you tune into this show live so that the mysterious aspects can be sustained for weeks.
8/10 (for now)

Let me just start off by saying that I really think that people are wrong when they say that this show is the new Lost, or that it was simply made as a "follow up" because Lost ended. I really feel that is has NOTHING to do with Lost.
That being said, I enjoyed the first episode. It was really good. My entire family watched all first six episodes in one day. And I'm really looking forward to the end since the guy who did Persons Unknown also did The Usual Suspects. I think that it's a good thriller/mystery, and I like the fact that I still don't know who it is, or why it is happening, and that I can't just randomly guess. That's what makes it a good mystery.
So if you have time on your hands, and want to watch a mystery TV series - which there aren't a lot of, I would recommend Persons Unknown. Just give it a chance. You won't regret it.

Not sure why so many people were disappointed in and even hated this series. They even blasted the production and writing. The whole point of this story is that there is no end, no exit. It's like life, it just keeps changing with some new and some same people, and different levels of "evolution". There is no way out. We are stuck with who we are and how we work it all out. The writing is concise, to the point, and doesn't get bogged down in misdirection. People answer with immediate understandings, and the action moves quickly. And the photography and, lighting, and camera work is excellent. I know because I'm a professional photographer who has worked on some high end productions. The acting is true and heartfelt. It's a great metaphor for life on so many levels. The resistances to what is, the paranoia, the struggles with questions of doing what it takes, survival, and compassion in the face of distrust. The dynamics are great to watch. There are of course some aspects that are easy to criticize because, hopefully, the conspiracy is contrived and nothing like this could happen. But perhaps on some levels, we actually live in this kind of world. So yes some plot lines are unexplained and far-fetched, but are they really. There is a lot of mystery around all kinds of corporate and govt activity.
