    US conspiracy series The Event will start this Friday on RTÉ 2 and Channel 4. Will it be available on the RTÉ player?

    Yeah, it should be.

    A Fine Gael leader like yourself would presumably be busy on a Friday night!

    The amount of ads on C4 is crazy, really disrupting the storyline. It is interesting enough so far.

    C4 are criminal, what ever happened to ads every 20 mins? The good old days.

    Twas entertaining enough hokum, through the flashbacks within flashbacks was a bit too much. I knew that couple were wrong uns!

    Not really too confusing yet, I hope they do not descend into confusing scientific explanations. A good enough plot and certainly will keep watching it.

    Hmmmm...... I'm beginning to enjoy this. Maybe something to fill the gap that Lost left behind. Of course Lost was my true love and now she's gone, gone forever, but this might be the saucy minx that helps ride the pain away :D

    Its on 4OD now OP, God Bless Channel 4 and their efficiency. But I'd be nearly more inclined to wait until/if RTE put it on the Player mainly due to the annoying 4OD ads. I wish Channel 4 would update them, if I see that Peep Show ad during a 4OD video one more time Ill scream.

    I watched Lost from beginning right through to the end. Thought that was relevant.

    i would have thought it was a cross between lost and flashforward??no?

    watched a couple of minutes of it, i think that will be all i will be watching.

    i watched some of both series i mentioned, but couldnt hack all the chopping and changing.

    i prefer the very well written straight up dramas.

    I thought it was pretty good. I'm a bit concerned about whether I'll care about any of the characters but it's early days. I persisted with FF and Lost so I'll give it a chance.

    Watched two episodes and so far enjoying it but its over doing it on the flashbacks. Im monitoring its audience figures from the US. I aint doing a flashforward on it again-watch an entire season then its cancelled! If it dips Im out but so far its holding up.

    Started watching it on 4od (first 3 episodes). It's better than I thought it would be, more engaging than Flashfoward, which I watched to the end. The reliance on flashbacks initially made me think they were trying to hard to be like Lost but they seem to be doing it in a different style. On the one hand it's good the way the answers don't seem to be as long coming but I don't think there's any harm in stretching out some mysteries. So far I think the show has promise but personally don't think it will ever match Lost.

    Not bad. Better actors than Flash Forward. Seems interesting. Lets hope it answers questions quickly.

    I watched lost from start to finish too. I watched the first episode of the event but wasnt really taken with it. Didnt grab me straight away the way lost did. Havent watched the subsequent episodes yet, does it get better? Theres a lost sized hole in my life that aches to be filled......
