Hopefully the creative people have some good ideas on where to take it.
I'm hooked on Alcatraz now. I watched the last 3 episodes last night to get up to date. I think it is a good show, but it is still missing something that makes it that "everybody must watch this" type of show. Right now what it has going for it is how it leaves you wanting to find out more. Each week you get a bit more information, but not enough to figure out what exactly is going on, not to mention the more questions that each bit of information gives you. It is good enough to get people to check it out, but the need to find out what is happening is what is keeping people to watch. How long can they keep doing this?
