    Really enjoyed the pilot.

    It's got a strong vibe of The Prisoner off it which is good.

    Great cast looking forward to the rest of the season.

    Good pilot. Twin peaksey and Alan Wake in its setting. Overtones of the Prisoner, the Nowhere Man and Lost. Bit clumbsy in parts but interesting.

    McGoohan version not Catweazel version, I hope!

    Enjoyable first episode. Can't see how they'd come up with an even vaguely plausible explanation for the goings on but I suppose we can enjoy the journey especially if they do keep it to a 10 episode one-off season rather than dragging it out ad nauseum.

    This is based on the first of 3 books (Pines, Wayward, The Last Town).
    If they do one season per book, it will be a nice self-contained 3-series story.

    Try to avoid reading about the books - you'll spoil a massive twist about halfway through season 1.

    Must catch up on this.

    If they are based on books, any chance of a warning in the title?

    Watched it at lunchtime and it is indeed very 'Prisoner' like with Matt Dillon like a No 6 character trying to escape the Village! I enjoyed the first episode and will look forward to how it pans out.It would be great if it was just a once off season and tie up the story rather than drag it out for years!

    If this is to be a miniseries then I'll not bother with the books. So now just have to avoid spoilers from all those people who never even knew of the books until now but will post spoilers based on what they read about the books online.

    Just watched the first episode. Thought was really only a hint of Twin Peaks. Felt more like The Prisoner and him trying to leave town reminded me of The Truman Show.
    Also find the aging thing interesting. 1 person claiming to be there a year, despite arriving about 15 years ago and 1 being there 12 years having only just got there.
    Though think more want to see what they do to people to have them settle

    Didn't recognise Shannyn Sossamon, but think last time I saw her was in 40 Days and 40 Nights

    Like Lost? (Or that interpretation of it anyway.) That'd be awful. :pac:

    I came here to post this exact thing. It feels like a cross between Persons Unknown and Harper's Island. Really excited to see how the rest of the show plays out.

    Re Persons Unknown - is it good or bad to be reminded of that?

    Quite fast paced. I agree with an above poster. The time thing is interesting. Maybe its where they put agents out to pastor or testing new forms of imprisonment.

    Never heard of the books.

    I think the writers said that the first series will actually cover all 3 books .
    Series 2 would be made up if greenlit.

    Made a note of this show last week when I saw an ad, but foolishly not the channel or day/time it's on - Fox, Thursday seems to be what people are saying?

    An even stronger second episode. This will be the show of the summer it seems.

    I thought that second episode was as weak as tapwater.

    Drama me arse, terrible overacting. The nurse is the only half decent character imo.

    Im giving up now...before its cancelled.

    I also thought it was overacted and a bit rushed .

    Matt Dillon's character doesn't seem to be the brightest chap
    He seems to be obsessed with his initial mission to find the two missing agents ,which you'd think would take a back seat after he was almost killed in a car accident and he is in a weird town .
    There has also been no mention of his partner in the crash ??

    He also seemed to get pretty fed up with the town after only being there a day or two which was too sudden.
    Im giving up now...before its cancelled.

    It wont be cancelled ,its a 10 episode series ,which covers the 3 existing books

    I'm enjoying the show ,its not without flaws but its gripping stuff and keeping me guessing.
