As soon as the blue line appeared, I immediately thought of "lost" and "under the dome", two other shows where people are trapped someplace and there is some mysterious danger they must avoidThis is very poorly written because there are lots of scenes where the simple question of "why" is never asked and that's how they string us along like they have done beforeIt's not natural for humans not to ask obvious questionsIt takes more than some spooky music to not notice how lazy the writing isThis show has potential because of the tension between the characters but the isolation/mystery element is just another run at an island or a domeI'll still watch it but the slow pace won't keep my attention for too long
