Review: I have mixed feelings about the way that Flash Forward went down. I compare it to a show like LOST that started out SO strong for a few seasons, but really fell off track in the middle and scrambled to regain itself in the end. On one hand, I'm sad that Flash Forward only lasted a season. A great sci-fi drama should go on for many seasons and give me some stability. On the other hand, its almost better like this. In a way it ended up being like a mini-series that wrapped itself all up in a nice little package and retained its quality.
Flash Forward was based on a great novel by Robert J. Sawyer. The plot was thick and the mystery level was high. Sure, maybe it fizzed out a little too quickly, but to put in this complete series set is a lot of fun. Its full of extras and great stuff that is sure to entertain. This is one of those great shows you'll want to own in your DVD library.
