    Even in 2018, I Still Feel Robbed...

    I have just revisited watching Flashforward and I still feel robbed. Characters were still in the middle of developing. Storyline still had the potential to evolve. And we are left with an amazing cliffhanger at the end of the first and only season. Too much time has passed and I feel using the original cast would be asking too much but surely devoted viewers who love this genre of program deserve some form of closure. I think it's time for someone to pick up the mantle. I wonder is was man enough to do the job. Bring back Flashforward.

    Great Sci fi concept shame abc lacked forsight!

    I stumbled upon this Sci fi show on Amazon and to be honest I normally won't bother to watch any show that only has 1 season for 2 reasons. Either the show is garbage and so not worth the watch or more upsetting that the show was really good but never given another season!

    This show is the Latter!!

    I had a quick look at the reviews on here and the overall consensus was it was good so I decided to bite the bullet I am glad I did it was full on action and kept me entertained from episode 1-22 and for the life of me can not understand why abc did not renew for another season it certainly needed another season to explain many things left unanswered

    When I see some of the crap shows that got renews it makes the fact that this great show did not! More infuriating Whatever abc's reason was it Sucks!

    This show was intelligent entertaining and had a great cast Shame on abc for lacking the same!

    i love flashfoward and i miss it

    when i first heard about this show, i questioned on how it would turn out. after the first episode, i was hooked. i could not wait till the next episode because of the suspense that the previous episode had left me with. when i heard that this show was not going to be on again, i questioned why. this show was amazing and there seemed to be nothing wrong. i just don't get it. i wish the show would come back on. it is hard to believe that they left everybody who liked the show questioning what would happen next and then there being no ending. this has been one of my favorite shows to watch and it was the only show i watched on Thursdays. like i said, it was a show that it would take a while for most people to like, but i liked it right away

    Shocked to see FlashForward being canceled... One of the Best shows ever

    I really liked the show and actually I thought it could be a replacement for LOST... I think FlashForward had a great storyline and it could become one of those famous TV shows if people had supported it a little... when I found out that it is canceled I was shocked and surprised to see such a perfect show canceled. I am really frustrated. I just want to say that I am really sorry for American audience who are only interested in black and white... Little Gray makes thing interesting and adventurous... How come you like TV shows like GLEE, ONE TREE HILL which have very boring and lame story line but not TV shows such as FlashForward which got a little mystery in it... I hope you change this attitude and be little more supportive of these shows which lots of efforts and time are spent... U SHOULD BE ASHAMED ....

    Even in 2022 we need a season 2

    What did I just watched. Ok. Its 2010 cgi and storytelling and look/feel is old as well. But come on. This should have had a season 2. Maybe a reboot can help with all the streamers these days. Or just a season 2 with a new cast. We can handle it. But it was a pleasure to watch this for the first time. Even it was 12 years later.
