    First episode just aired and I thought it was pretty good, definitely something I'm going to be watching while waiting for House to come back on and all. It revolves around a group of people trapped in a 'ghost town' but
    we find out it's not really really a ghost town at the endish of first episode.
    Really not something I can explain so you just have to watch it for yourself.

    I think you got the title wrong, its Persons Unknown. I never got past the first season of Lost but I certainly like this better than Lost already, simply because I know its gonna end in 13 episodes and not 13 years.

    It was okay, and I was really enjoying it up until they threw in that bright light towards the end of the second episode. I don't like supernatural in my otherwise sorta-believable stories :( I think they were laying it on pretty thick with the shady behavior of that grandmother and that guy the female lead owes money to, and despite having seen them all of 5 minutes on screen, I don't feel they act very well.

    The hostages themselves feel a little flat. Most of them are classic stereotypes, and although it feels like the series is setting them up for a little introspective self discovery, I just wish they had begun at a more original and interesting starting point. Love the night manager, though.

    But I mean, those are just little personal nitpicks. Overall it's not terrible, but its not that awesome either. It certainly beats watching reruns of lame ass reality shows over and over again this summer while waiting for Leverage to start again :D Definitely recommended if you have nothing better to watch.
