ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Ricardo Daly The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Tss5078 Persons Unknown is absolutely the worst type of television show there is. I say this, because over the course of 13 episodes, this show went from being one of the most clever and imaginative things I've seen to being complete and utter garbage. If that wasn't bad enough, this mini-series had high hopes, and even though they knew the show was a one shot deal, the producers actually had the nerve to end the whole thing on a cliffhanger, something that really bothers me to no end.The show begins admirably, with seven strangers from all walks of life, waking up alone, in a brand new, but abandoned hotel. After coming together, they realize they are in a fully functional town, the only problem is, that they're the only ones there. As they explore, they find that they are confined to this town by an impenetrable barrier. At the same time, a reporter looking into the mysterious disappearance of one of the victims, uncovers a cover up, one that could cost him everything.For the first four episodes, this show was incredible, the kind of show that had you on the edge of your seat, craving as much knowledge as you can find. If the show had continued on this mysterious path, following the strangers attempts at escape and distrust of one another, it would have been phenomenal, but that's not what happens. After the four initial episodes, the show starts to get weird, to the point of being absurd, and those mysterious story lines, became as obvious as the nose on your face.Jason Wiles stars and will always have my admiration for portraying Bosco on the long running cop drama, Third Watch. Here he plays the un-elected, mysterious leader of the group, who no one is really sure of. Wiles manages to do a terrific job of keeping the audiences attention focused on him, in what is now an obvious attempt to take the focus off the holes in the story. Wiles is joined by Daisey Betts, who out of the entire cast, was really the only person one could relate to and feel an attachment for. Aside from them, the rest of the cast seems to just be props in this sorted game, that just never makes a whole lot of sense.Persons Unknown started off with a bang and crossed the finish line with a whimper, as the story just completely falls apart and descends into chaos. By the end of the series, I couldn't tell what was going on anymore, nor did I really care all that much. This show had such potential, but as it progressed, it just continually failed to live up to the hype.

Max_Lucas Why is it whenever there is a great show it gets canceled? And many are left unfinished. This story could of went on for many seasons. Great cast and story line. So many shows get a lot of hype months before premiere and then bomb. Yet the network will drag it on for a few more seasons trying to convince us that it will eventually get better. This show isn't like that. A great show that silently gets cut. Who are these people who make these decisions? Too many shows get canceled without closure. Tera Nova was another great one. Jericho could of ran for years! Yet, they hype up Revolution, which was a bomb, that I'm sure they will try to run with it for years.I really liked Persons Unknown. Last episode left me wanting to see more. Too bad the network didn't see it that way. Now days, if you don't have "C.S.I.", "reality show" or dumb slap stick comedy in it, it won't make the cut. It's sad!

DebbyB726 Personally, I loved the show. I watched it when it was on originally and, while I don't compare the acting to "Lost", I can compare the show and the premise to it. I HATE a TV show where I can figure out what is going on, or "who did it" within the first 15 minutes, as I can with most shows. "Lost" kept me guessing for 6 years, and I didn't miss one single episode. I plan on watching "Persons Unknown" if it's brought back for a second season for that exact reason. I'm sorry that you didn't like it, but I still want to know something. Did it take you the entire season, all 550 minutes to realize that you didn't like it, or did you just watch it so you could come on here and complain about it?

tarawhitneysims I've read the reviews after watching this great series. It's a mix of positive and negative responses. Personally I thought it was great. It shows human nature in a controlled environment. Very diverse characters coming together as a team to survive. You see how these people form friendship, love, enemies, and then striving to resolve any complication. A secret society has place a selected few in a secret town far and away. This secret society claims to be testing these individual's for a higher purpose for good of mankind. They want to uncover the most psychologically strong individual out of the group members selected.
