Alcatraz, a promising start

After its premiere repásasemos already , I am quite surprised by how they started the first bars of Alcatraz seriously, a series that only be signed by JJ Abrams behind (Lost, Fringe, Alias ​​...) had raised levels considerable excitement, but far from repeating the failure that was once Undercovers, Abrams also a mess and very bad spinning and decaf, Alcatraz has begun with a firm step and resolute, a little repetitive and a whiff of the events in Pacific island lost some but certainly very promising.

We carry only the first 4 episodes and it is still certainly too early to judge if Alcatraz is a very large number (I do not know), a good series (more than likely) or failure (which I doubt). Of the theme and the original approach and speak here when it opened, part of the idea that when Alcatraz was closed and its inmates were relocated to other prisons, the reality was quite different and actually vanished into air, all prisoners with prison staff. All this until today when without warning ex-prisoners begin to appear here and there and back at it again with their criminal activities.

The plot soon proves however to go beyond that is just your main skill, gradually begin to see the puzzle pieces do not fit, engimas who stay in the air, unanswered questions and unexplained events, which actually remember as we said before the most successful series Abrams.

And it is that air Lost, with all due respect, what I believe to be operated by Alcatraz. Behind the series begins to take shape a universe, rather a multiverse where the mysteries of Lost could join with parallel dimensions touch Fringe and Alias ​​criminology, a ball that failure is scrambled and spun well end up being a real bombshell.

I was unhappy at the moment, the repetitive structure of the episodes, the ending is not always the same but the way of telling the story itself and we know perfectly well that in some way on the former prisoner will drop the weight of the law of any way or another.

One of its strengths is Sam Neill, the former Jurassic Park paleontologist who gets into the role and continue at this pace and begin to claim some kind of recognition, because the club. Jorge Garcia does well, but I keep having the feeling that the dear Hugo from Lost, after escaping from the island has gotten atrapacriminales comic creations, more of the same. And Sarah Jones, who plays Detective Rebecca Madsen, which I see more loose, do not do anything wrong, but it shows a line that is far behind than its two companions.

Alcatraz promises, at least until the end of the first season but will have to give it more time How do you see? Because he has had a varied reception and where some see a future series with more than others see it repeated again Is it worth it? Will they be another great series made ​​in JJ Abrams series or remain in the pile? The next episodes are the answer.
