franciscomarianodarocha It could had been a great series but is full of mistakes, bad sponsor placement and clichés. The errors between scenes are a special case: there are no continuity: keys change case and placement, mobiles change from horizontal to vertical, actors move all around, same car appears over and over in action scenes, etc, etc... The idea is great but it is executed as a "B" series from 80's. My question is simple: today, with so many good professionals, equipment, technology, technique and experience available in the market, how it goes to air with so many mistakes? Ah, Special effects are another joke too.Otherwise it's OK.
SnoopyStyle In 1963, all the prisoners and guards mysteriously disappear from Alcatraz. In the present, they start resurfacing and a secret agency is tasked with re-capturing them. Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) leads the group with technical help from Dr. Lucy Banerjee (Parminder Nagra). He recruits police detective Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) and Alcatraz history expert Dr. Diego Soto (Jorge Garcia).The premise isn't quite nailed down fast enough. The show lighting is too dark. Every time there seemed to have signs of the show taking off. It takes a twist or we take a detour and we lose all the momentum. JJ Abrams puts his name on yet another show. It had some promise. The concept is fine but needed more development. Sarah Jones is a cutie but she's doing an angry act here. She never smiles and act extremely intense at all times. Jorge Garcia is injected in here but completely wasted.
shamblesuk Most of the other reviewers have picked out similar veins of thought, but to add my tuppence I would state that this mini-series had so much potential, perhaps as a film rather than a series, but did not deliver.The main fault was predictability. You knew in each episode that each prisoner would wither get locked up or killed. The way the 'tecs found solutions was laughably fortunate, the lead detective was unlikeable, Sam Neill was badly cast mainly due to it being impossible to believe he could have been old enough to be on Alcatraz, and poor Parminder Nagra was woefully miscast as a doctor (an Indian female doctor, in Alcatraz - and an attractive one at that!).So many obvious story lines, it became painful watching. But a big finale! I was looking forward to it! And it didn't arrive!!!! Doubt there'll be a season 2, and even if there is, I won't be watching.
ke_linda_14 Typical JJ Abrahams, the concept is good but the execution and delivery is just bad.First 4 episodes were enjoyable, then it went downhill and I started to lose interest. The background music was the same as LOST and Hurley played Hurley. I just didn't understand what the series was trying to achieve, if it was gripping TV then their objective was not achieved!Sam Neill who plays Emerson had one facial expression and his acting range was questionable?I have read that the series has not been renewed which I think is the completely the right decision...if there is another season I certainly wont be tuning in!
