Now I've seen The Event....

It's not bad at all. There's a lot of flashbacks though, and GLW says she'd definitely watch it again.

If you've had a look at my previous post, and watched the trailer, there's something, well...a bit Lost about it. But fear not, if you were too stoopid/impatient to work out what went on in that series, all the Flashbacks (and flashbacks-within-flashbacks) are clearly signposted, and it's pretty clear what's happening by the end of the episode.

I would say spoiler alert next, but if you've seen the trailer, I ain't giving nuthin' away that you ain't already seen.

It's a conspiracy tale. Cuban-American President Martinez is about to free some weird dissidents from their hell-hole prison in Alaska. Somebody tries to kill him by landing a passenger jet on his head. You get to find out why the airline pilot is doing such a mental thing as well. That's about it in the first episode.

Actually, all credit to the makers of the show,they stuffed a lot into the pilot, so to speak. It shows a lot of promise. God Bless Channel 4. they've bought it and will start airing it in October.
