Maybe. ABC's new drama, Flash Forward, definitely has an interesting premises. If you get a glimpse into your future, are you destined to create that glimpse or can you change it? Well shot and well acted, the premiere episode was enjoyable. But coming from the creators of Lost, I can't help but wonder if the show is going to ask more questions that it answers every week. That's exactly why I don't watch Lost.
I don't have the wherewithal to sit through a series for 8 years without any resolution. Crime dramas have become so popular because they have a steady plot but each episode focuses on a problem then resolves it. Viewers are drawn to the big picture but can leave every episode with a sense of gratification.
So while Flash Forward might have all of the making of series hit, unless it establishes a formula that allows for instant gratification, I won't be sitting through it every week.
