    I thought it was not exciting at all. The flash backs were dull and left me thinking that the show is just going to give you little bits here and their and it will sizzle out fast

    Watching the pilot made me feel like I was reading a book and missing chapter 2-10, and then had all the characters talk about those chapters. The big difference between a show like this and a show like "Lost" or "Twin Peaks," is that this time, it's not just the writers or a few individuals that know more than the viewers, it's the whole cast.

    It's a fantastic show, neck-and-neck with Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip for best new show of the season.

    The writing is daring, the editing dazzling and bold... this is prime-time storytelling that pops.

    The Nine doesn’t quite feel like a Lost knockoff since its missing-piece, jigsaw-puzzle construct has a basis in reality: the unknowable feelings of those who have weathered personal crisis.
