I'll be honest; I enjoyed this show. I love the concept. Random strangers all together in some place they can't escape? It sounds terrific. However, they didn't really explain anything at all. WHY were they being kidnapped? The most I seemed to understand was they were testing a theory about why people acted like they did. I don't understand why they were testing that theory though. And what happens to the people when they finish everything? From what can be seen, Janet's mother was a member of this organization. We're never told anything about *that* though either!
Besides the many plot holes and the unanswered questions, there was one other problem with this show. The characters themselves. They are all very shallow, if you ask me. The only one I even cared for at all was Tori. Besides Janet, who was a pretty unlikable character in my opinion, Tori was the only one given any background where we get to know her. We learned things about the others, yes. We never really understood them though. This is a problem with the writing itself. the writers assumed the reader understood the characters as well as they did, so they never really explained anything too detailed about them.
I know, I know. This makes it look like the show was bad. Don't get me wrong, it is. I loved watching it though. It kept me interested. I found myself sitting there one night and watching every episode. If you're looking for something that is going to fill your mystery needs, this show probably isn't it. However, if you want to watch something you can't stop watching and find yourself loving, I recommend this show. You can fill in the gaps yourself, if you really want. Don't listen to the one star people; this show isn't that bad. You just need to remember there are plot holes. Many movies and TV shows have them. If you watch this show for fun, you won't be disappointed.
