In an Instant

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
