FlashForward So Far
I haven to admit, ABC’s FlashForward is really starting to grow on me. Even though the network and show producers are desperately trying to keep the sci-fi elements to a minimum, FlashForward is turning into a really great character drama. Joseph Fiennes, Sonya Walger, and John Cho are especially good in their roles. John Cho has really blown me away in this role because I most often associate him with the Harold and Kumar movies (not to mention a little sci-fi epic called Star Trek). Cho’s character of Demetri is one of many people who saw nothing during the blackout and recently received a phone stating he would be murdered about a month before the time period shown in the FlashForward. As the characters struggles with this is really gives Cho an opportunity to act like we’ve never seen before.
FlashForward is great in many way because of its great cast, but also some great writing that does a good job of developing the story behind the FlashForward in a way that keeps the viewer interested. I’m not sure where the writers are planning to go with it and that’s also what makes it so interesting for me.
If this can be maintained over the next 20 or so episodes, I’m definitely in it for the long haul.
