Reply to comment by k00zyk in Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s ‘Surface’ Renewed For Season 2 At Apple by MarvelsGrantMan136

Man I would love to see a retrospective on all the Lost-knockoffs that came out in the mid-00’s.

As long as it contains 10 minutes of people laughing at how on the fucking nose naming a show “flash forward” was when it came to its inspirations

It even bled into shows that ostensibly shouldn't have even been that. Under The Dome was completely undone by Lost envy. And then they started firing showrunners every season only to hire new showrunners that would immediately abandon the previous one's plots and plans and then do that again like five more times. It was almost amazing how committed that show was to being a trainwreck.

Mostly it would just be about the writer’s strike that almost killed off scripted tv and ushered in the reality tv era for ad based channels. Life with Damien Lewis is the one I wish would have survived to an end.

It'd be nice if they could actually get some of the writers to answer the questions they set up on those shows

You know that really would be. I got really into the first season of Heroes… wonder where they were going with that originally?

Was supposed to be a new cast of characters every season apparently
