6/10
Supporting Players the Best in the show1

Warning: Spoilers
Show is not good or bad. It is somewhere in between. As the supporting players are the best. Especially the Dr Diego who is played by Jorge Garcia of "Lost" fame. And the lady that plays Lucy that used to be on ER.

Really the female lead played by Sarah Jones is not good nor bad. As maybe just needs to be developed. As the show is about of course, Alcatraz as 302 prisoners and guards are missing. And the job of the main characters, four of them is to get them all back.

Into a new Alcatraz played by Sam Neil who plays a "government guy." Either he is good or bad. Neil's character is way one dimensional. As I just can't get into or like his character for that matter.

This is being the new "Lost" or the new "Fringe" for that matter. The leads are the weak links in the show. Hopefully they will develop. But it is the supporting players, especially Garcia that shows you care about them.

What makes people think that they care about the prisoners as the leads really seem you don't care about them. Which is a huge mistake on JJ Abrams part.
