I personally, was disappointed that there was not a second (or even third) season to this excellent series. I have always loved texts, be it books, movies, TV series with intriguing and mind bending concepts.. this certainly fits the bill. The entire world blacking out for two minutes and seventeen seconds, seeing their respective futures, and taking actions to ensure / change their future is an intriguing topic, and one that I thought was executed quite well.
The acting was done quite well, but this was all about the concept and the execution. Such a clever idea deserved a sequel, as i felt there were many unanswered questions which didn't do it justice. It made you question aspects of your own life, and delve into decisions / indecisions you have made in the past. I feel any text that can make me examine myself in that light deserves to be commended. If you are someone that is after something light-hearted, something you can sit back and enjoy without paying a great deal of attention, then this isn't for you. If, like me, you enjoy something a little more mentally stimulating, something that makes you think, and something that intrigues you overall, then this is an excellent place to start.
