Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

"The Event" just isn't worth watching. The general concept is good although not original. The acting is OK. The general outline of the story works for me at least. Sadly the writing must be among the worst ever on prime time TV.An OK story line is driven forward only by torture, violence, blackmail and lies. There is also a love story not creating a single spark but endless pathetic scenes. Finally there are pointless switches back and forth in time making things less clear and directly boring with their predictability.Originality is totally lacking. Intelligence is not present. There is no consistency in abilities given to the respective characters. Getting through 22 episodes without a single original twist is almost an achievement by the writers.The first few episodes really are a nightmare. Then the show at least listened to relentless criticism and got rid of the worthless time jumps. Middle episodes are therefore somewhat better. However after giving a ray of hope "The event"'s first season ends on another low. The story lines ended in season 1 are pathetic in predictability and execution. And as "The event" got cancelled after season 1 we will never know how the open story lines end.That's just as well.

It comes to my attention that in this modern world more intelligent series you make more bigger fail it becomes. Kids just want simple story with simple facts and some sex scenes. Well if you are into something different and complicated, something that will keep you in front of your TV then watch this series. Down side is there is no season 2. Why? That might be something I cant explain or lets say no1 can with some logical explanation. Watched like billion movies and series and beside 24h, Vikings and limitless this is awesome. Crew is really good, story is full of turning points and idea it self is brilliant for me. Problem is even there is a lot of things going on season 1 generally it looks like intro for season 2 that by story line should be so freaking good.

There is a plot to kill the president. Apparently the way to do it is to fly a plane into the President's son's birthday party. Then there's the wormhole. So many things wrong. Why would flying a plane into an open area be effective? This thing went wrong right from the start.Sean Walker (Jason Ritter) is on the hunt for his kidnapped girl Leila Buchanan (Sarah Roemer) after she disappeared on a trip. This is the most interesting storyline for me and the most disappointing. Jason Ritter is pretty good. But let's just say that Sarah Roemer lack the acting skills. I tried hard to defend her at the beginning. She's real pretty to look at, but not much else. She is the most infuriating character, and that storyline totally frustrated me. The rest is just a jumble of wild sci-fi writings. At some point, I didn't care about any of it. One season was definitely more than enough.

In Belgium the show just got online, no one knows why, but I already paid to see the rest of the series because it was so good!!!! And now I go to IMDb to see when season 2 is coming up and to my surprise I see there probably isn't gonna be... To me that is a total clue why not! There definitely has to come a season 2! Way to good!!! So please if you ever read the reviews of this show and you can make a difference to it, begin season 2, and hopefully 3 and 4 as well, I was really shocked to find out that the last moment, where she said "home" is actually going to be the last picture of the show, it's just not right to end it like that....
