TV: The Event


So when this show first aired i was intrigued but couldn't fit it into my very busy television schedule, but once it got to May/June and all the major shows were rounding off and coming to an end i thought to myself. Why not, i haven't got anything to loose, and thus like the telly addict I am i got hooked.
At first.
The first episode had enough mystique and random violence to immediately have you tuning in to the following episode. As as things progressed however, it became more complex as nobody seemed to be who they said they were, and we sat on our hands waiting for key characters to cross paths. When they didn't we'd get angry and want to slap the characters for going right when they should have gone left. Either way before you knew it, it was 4am and so you might as well just watch one more episode before turning in for the night....day.

As the episodes went on it felt as though the anticipation of said "Event" was what they were using to keep audiences. This got old, and fairly obvious roughly half way through and though each episode left you on a new cliffhanger ultimately you were left annoyed that another question had been added to the already long list of  unanswered ones.

In conclusion i think its a good think it wasn't picked up for a second season, though the actors were tolerable I feel as though the majority of us would just be tuning in more out of annoyance and curiosity to find out what the hell was going on and would sadly just end up being disappointed to find that the event wasn't that eventful.
