Oh, Halloween. Once called All Hallow's Eve, it's a day that even Wikipedia can't quite define (I would consult my encyclopedia, but it spontaneously combusted when the internet was born). Over the years, the holiday has evolved into a celebration… more

OK we have a show that plays psychological games on the VIEWERS from week to week with the hopes that intelligent people will keep watching?

"Mediocre"

By vore01, Dec 24, 2011 Report Abuse

3 words...Kate Lang Johnson. I have 3 seconds recorded on my DVR of her in her undies doing her cute dance. When I get sad I play it over and over again. I record the show only to see if she dances again. When I have the most clips of her in her undies I win. As far as the rest of the show is concerned I fast forward thru all that crap. I really don't care about the story line...it's been done before and I really don't care about the people in the story except for Kate.moreless

"Perfect"

By Afriaus, Dec 04, 2011 Report Abuse

What is the point of starting a story and then never finishing it? I mean look at Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicals, we just get into the thing and it ends, the same was with Firefly, Tremors, Eastwick just to name a few, At least the British can keep comming back with a continuing DR WHO a regenearting Time Lord that never dies. The Simpsons can do 22 Years in a row with a family that never seems to age?

Even those shows that go 3-4 year and then die in their peak eg. Heroes and Stargate Atlantis....why start and then make the audience suffer??? No wonder no one watches TV these days....if the show goes a while download and watch....maybe we should see if it goes over a year before bothering with the show at all?

My point of view and i'm sticking to it!!moreless

"Great"

By JulesPace, Dec 02, 2011 Report Abuse

When I first read the US reviews they were all very negative, so put me off watching. Its only because of Jason Wiles I watched the pilot as he was absolutely brilliant in Third Watch. As Joe he totally makes the series its on the edge of your seat kinda stuff!!! Can't wait for the next episode......thanks Sci Fi for putting two on at a time!!

"Superb"

By ionee24, Aug 07, 2011 Report Abuse

Several strangers are taken out of their daily routine for an unknown purpose, the "procedure" attempts to re-create psych-ops techniques meant to bring out the core of each individual.

Each week it's different test, the only goal its survival, regardless what you motivation may be, so survival its earned up until the last one of them remains and, just when you think you have it all figured out,...

...it's "Welcome, to level 2".moreless

Take the worst parts of LOST, combine it with the Reality TV Survivor series and you get Persons Unknown.

"Abysmal"

By nice1stu, Jun 16, 2011 Report Abuse

I'm sorry but this show is awful. A group of seemingly random strangers, from seemingly all walks of life are mysteriously kidnapped and trapped in a small isolated town enclosed with some invisible barrier and watched at all times by video cameras. OK, suspend belief for a while. This group, like all group of heroes try to work together to escape, but of course there are clashes in personalities which they must overcome as they try to get along. They are fed by a fully functioning Chinese restaurant in town, and there is a night manager that works in the Hotel, why I don't know. If they can get by without staff during the day, why a night manager? To add to the MYSTERY of it all a journalist trying to get the scoop on the disapperance of one of the characters is threatened for reasons unknown. Why all this happens, I guess they will reveal all at the end of season 6... but I doubt I can get past episode 3 of the 1st season, so I will never know, and honestly I don't care.

The characters are lame and unconvincing. They flit from working together dysfunctionaly to escape to acting as if they are on some retreat vacation. Why not stick to their mysterious Chinese cooks or the night manager like glue, they must leave the town sometime. Why not just torch the entire town (except the restaurant... can't go without the yummy food). Of course none of the characters are what they first appear to be, just to add more mystery to the innane plot. They argue and fight amongst themselves that is just annoying to watch.

I am just waiting for the observers to start offering "immunity" to the characters and voting who gets "eliminated"moreless
