Flash backwards
It's iffy for me. In the first 2 minutes we see a close up of the main female character lying on her side with her breasts looming large as the focus. When will, if ever, directors and producers quit with the gratuitous breast scene. Really now, are they that worried about the fortitude of the plot? I am....

FlashForward is not the next LOST
During the summer, ABC ran numerous promos for FlashForward. I was really excited for this series to start in the fall and the pilot didn't fail to entertain me one bit. It was like the complex mysteries of LOST meet the spiritual/futuristic tone of Eli Stone by way of Grey's Anatomy. However, the show's eventual decline in quality came about as the weeks went by. Recent episodes have been extremely boring and seem like a chore to watch. FlashForward went from being an original and engaging new sci-fi drama to being a poorly written and confused soap opera with cops and doctors. As mentioned by another reviewer, they showed a rather explicit sex scene involving the guy from LOST in one episode. In another episode, the same guy says the word pr*ck to someone. I'm not a prude, but this isn't 8pm material at all and it doesn't add anything to the already-convoluted storyline of the series. Recent ratings have shown that viewers like me are extremely disappointed with this series and, as a result, FlashForward will return in March instead of January like ABC originally planned. Note to parents: skip this disappointing series and find something else to watch on Thursday night.

Great adult entertainment (high schoolers too!)
Great acting, great story line, great budget. It's like Lost, but with a plot that seems to be thought thought out already.

No appropriate for tweens.
We turned it off after 10 minutes. One sex scene and two crude sexual references in that amount of time were enough for us to decide it wasn't fit to watch.

Loved it, Until....
This show is crossing the line. Last week's episode included a sex scene I would expect to see on HBO, not ABC at 8pm. It's disappointing that people think it's okay to put stuff like that on television - and that people watch it!

Flash Forward to a good show- just be on the KNOW
Again, another great show for older viewers! The acting can be cheesy- however nothing beats the storyline of this awesome new show! A little "Sexy" with some of the shots and poor role modeling- however you wil find yourself getting baited and hooked for the next episode. ENJOY- but keep the little kiddies out of the room on this one.

Grown-ups only!
I've been watching this on Roku AFTER my 15 year old goes to bed. My husband typically passes through the room mumbling about "your creepy show." This is NOT for kids--realistic violence, some sexual scenes, and a realistic portrayal of alcoholism, plus the "creepy" premise and tone, make this inappropriate for kids. However, the sci fi premise, story, and acting make this worthwhile. Joseph Fiennes (of Shakespeare in Love fame) and John Cho (Sulu in the most recent Star Trek movie) are terrific.
