The first episode was pretty cool. They aired it on my flight to Phoenix over Xmas. It's a cool concept, but I have a feeling they'll **** it up at some point. I'd say the first episode is worth watching though to see if its something you'd be into

I hope so, I love anything that has to do with prisons although from the last preview it seems a little more like CSI than Prison Break, but I'll give it a shot and hope that if I like it they don't cancel it.

dude 'jack' woke up in an alcatraz cell (during a tour, since its been closed for years) and he was suppose to be dead like 30 years ago... looks the same and hasn't aged... started taking revenge and killed a few people... cops just caught him but have no clue where he's been for 30 years and why he hasn't aged...
pretty much it... very slow beginning...

This sorta reminds me of the Fox series John Doe from about 9 years back. It was only one season but I loved it. I think I'll try to rewatch it online as it entertained me. Cancelled after 1 season though.

Please clarify if I'm wrong on the plot here.
What I'm seeing is that a bunch of prisoners who broke out in 1960 are now showing up un-aged today. So Tubby and Cutey are chasing them?

They don't know what happened to them, as of now they just "disappeared".... the girl who just got shot and the guy she works with seem to know more but not letting it know...
Now they are coming back one by one in the present time but as the same as they were over 30 years ago...
its got potential

I appreciate taking the time to answer my queries. I know I am a little dim with movies/tv shows when the plot line isn't obvious.
I'll certainly watch the next couple weeks as there aren't many prime time tv shows catching my interest these days. If you have any recommendations I'll be sure to watch

I didn't even know this was coming on just caught it and saw it was the first one... remember someone telling me about it...
and no prob, I need to know the hole plot and hate catching shows even 5 min into them

show is trying to do way too much, will eventually fail due to its huge leaps to connect plot and its laughable sci-fi angle

Since it was not just a bunch of prisoners who disappeared, but also guards and probably other staff as well then the assumption would be that she was originally a Dr in the 60's and disappeared as well to the present timeline in the same way the prisoners are popping up one by one.

I felt like I was watching Lost. It had the same feeling. Flashbacks, mystery, weird stuff going on. It was pretty good. I'm going to give it a try, I just hope I don't watch it for 7 years and get a turd ending like Lost gave me.

Wait, wait, I got it! "Jack" is Jack from Lost. He went from Alcatraz to the Island to the fake reality world and now he's back to modern day reality again. It all makes sense now!
