"STATUS: Cancelled Network: FOX Who's in it?: Sarah Jones, Jorge Garcia, Sam Neill, Parminder Nagra, Robert Forster, Santiago Cabrera, Jonny Coyne, Jason Butler Harner What's it about? 302 wardens and prisoners of Alcatraz reappear in modern day, after their mysterious disappearance fifty years ago "

“Interesting concept, though it feels a little like "The 4400", "Crossing Jordan", and "Lost", with the air of mystery. Then again, it's a Bad Robot production. Not bad, so far, and I have seen the first two episodes. Definitely intriguing, though I can see how it might go sour after a while if they cannot keep it fresh and interesting (kind of like what happened to "Alias", another Bad Robot show).

But so far, it's good enough to keep me wanting to keep watching. Just enough mystery to hold most of my attention. Not strong enough to capture my full attention, though, so it might lose me if it doesn't give me more soon. I like Sarah Jones, so far, and having Jorge Garcia and Sam Neill gives it a strong cast. I hope this show survives and has some good story-telling to come ” read more

"I've only seen the first few episodes but if the show can keep this up it will easily remain one of my favorite shows of all time. J.J. abrams does it again."
