Critic Reviews

Mark A. Perigard

Season 1 Review: Will The Event turn out to be another "FlashForward" or the next "Lost"? I'm betting cautiously on the latter. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Season 1 Review: Neatly staged, with one surprise after another in a geometric progression of suspense, The Event's pilot episode leaves a lot of tantalizingly unanswered questions. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: NBC's stab at a big, serialized "Lost"-like premise gets off to an enticing start, though as with any such exercise, the ability to provide forward momentum--and satisfying answers--tends to quickly separate the few genuine events from the canceled afterthoughts. Read full review

Nancy DeWolf Smith

Season 1 Review: Its pilot episode (which will be repeated Saturday from 8-9 p.m.) felt like a fusion of "E.T." and a "Frontline" documentary on Guantanamo. Read full review

Barry Garron

Season 1 Review: With its large ensemble cast and frequent flashbacks--visiting and revisiting events that occurred from 23 minutes to 13 months in the past--watching Event is like riding a contraption that is half time machine and half bumper car. Read full review

Troy Patterson

Season 1 Review: Watching these post-Lost sci-fi-mytho-mystery series, you also watch yourself watching, and the thrill of alertness passes for decent entertainment even when other pleasures are in short supply. When Sean returned from a day trip to find that his girlfriend had vanished as if redacted from the file of life, I was kind of glad to see her gone. With her murky disappearance out of the way, we were on our way to achieving clarity-or at least toward failing to achieve it. Read full review

Daniel Fienberg

Season 1 Review: Maybe there is some steak to accompany this sizzle, but I wish somebody would bring it to the table already. It seems rude to extend an invitation to so many people without delivering an event. Read full review
