Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

This show is so stupid. It reminds me of Twilight. It's emo, it's cliche, it's boring, it's lazily filmed, and most of all... NOTHING HAPPENS IN THE ENTIRE SHOW! The show is supposed to be story driven, but the plot barely goes anywhere! It's just a series of random people dealing with something that happened three years ago! Nothing happens at all! The show would've been way more interesting if there was an adventure in the alternate universe that the 2% went to... But no... We get this crap.

The most underrated show of all times. Great acting, wonderful storyline and very clever dialogues accompanied by some outstanding music. Definetely a masterpiece, a poem. GO and WATCH IT.

This series was completely engrossing all the way up until the last episode. The writing and acting were top notch, Ann Dowd's performance especially. Having been very disappointed by the ending of Lost, I had hoped that the series wouldn't end on a frustrating note--alas it did.Unlike some reviewers, I found all 3 seasons to be excellent, and the penultimate episode was my favorite. But after viewing the final episode, irritation set in. It was almost as if the writers abandoned ship after Episode 7 and a group of amateurs took over.I do not need every mystery explained to me, in fact it is often better to leave some themes ambiguous. I didn't care if the viewer learned why the 2% left--that wasn't really the point. But Nora's foolish story about going to the "other place" and getting the person who was responsible for the original departures to build her a new machine so she could get back home was pathetic. Surely something more interesting could have been devised. Not sorry I watched it--but it could have been great.

Wow! This show has a lot of mixed reviews. I just finished watching Season 3. This is my take on it. It's a drama. Not science fiction, not action, not anything else. That being said, I think you would have had to experienced quite a lot of life, loss, grief, denial, blame, avoidance, fear, longing, abandonment, I could go on. Any loss is profound if the attachment emotionally is strong and if a person does disappear in whatever way that may occur it's impossible to grieve effectively as you don't know whether they will ever come back. For those who've made comments on losing someone being minor and that after 3 years why are these people falling apart? The answer is you never get over any loss. Only if you experience loss would you understand what this series is trying to portray and it does so very accurately. The answers to a lot are revealed over time as is often the case in relationships. No one ever reveals everything about themselves all at once. We get to know the characters over time. I give it good as season 3 changed tempo and wasn't as good as the first two. Overall it delivered a lot of different messages on life, living, death, love and regret and many more besides. You need to be able to be patient, think and read between the lines.
