i know nothing about it..i know it got cancelled..and i know it's a mystery show..so is it like happy town ..ends suddenly without a decent finale..or like harper's island..meaning that it actually has an ending ?
shareIt has an ending that's more like a beginning. I highly recommend it.
sharei want to check it , only of i got sure that it's ending answers all the questions and the mysteries .. since happy town almost made stop watching mini series .
it was so good and suddenly bang..it's off .
So what I mean is .. did it sound like it ended as how it was supposed and intentionally to end from the first episode or the cancellation effected it .
Thanks for your reply
No. Hell no. This show leaves almost every question unanswered. What makes it worse is the advertising promised that all questions would be answered.
I haven't watched this since it ran in 2010, but big questions left unanswered include, but are not limited to:
1. What is the point of the organization? To save humanity? To find people with a special talent?
2. Why was everyone so hypnotized by Daisy? Was she supposed to achieve greatness?
3. How did Blackham know Charlie's wife's name?
4. Why did Erika arrive later than everyone else?
5. Was Joe the only mole in the group?
6. What is level 2?
7. Was the private eye that Daisy's mom hired a bad guy or a good guy?
8. What happens to people locked in the cages?
9. What is going to happen to Renbe and Joe (and Tori)?
So many more I can't even remember. The show had a great premise and some solid opening episodes, but they never answered your questions in any sort of satisfying manner. Don't be fooled.
okey thanks alot for the heads up .. now i'll spare myself the suffering of not knowing !! ..
shareYeah.... NBC just sticks in right in with no kiss, dinner or lube!
One of the best shows to come on in a long while, it had so much potential! Same with Happy Town, but that was a BIG FVCK YOU from ABC and then there's the Event, another screw you, from NBC.
Now I just read 666 Park Ave might be getting canned as well...

shareHi,
I am very wary of tv series in general because they are made up as time goes rather than conceptualized from the start. I gave PU a chance based on the fact it was created by Christopher McQuarrie, who is one of my favorite movie writers. I figured if McQuarrie could write amazingly rich characters and an intricate story like the Usual Suspect that wraps under 2 hours, he could do it for a TV series, even a short lived one.
It turns out I was wrong. The ensemble cast of characters in PU have intriguing pasts that never get exploited. In fact, Remi Aubuchon (showrunner for Persons Unknown) is very blunt in interviews saying they were making it all up as they went and didn't know where it was going.
There is no real ending to PU. There are no explanations. The truth is, the writers had a general idea of the organization and its goals, but it is left unexplained. Most of what takes place, the actual plot, stretches credibility so much it borders on the ridiculous.
A very disappointing series.
OP is probably dead and will never read my post, but I hope he saw it.
I gave this show 5/10. Premise was fun, show has many plot holes and some terrible acting (outside of the town, usually in the 'evil corporation' side) but it kept me entertained (binge watching).
I hope they didn't. This was one of the biggest cons on TV ever. They promoted this based on the whole "we're going to answer everything" and answered basically nothing. There was zero ending to the show. It was completely awful from start to finish.
The promotion was not the creator's fault, even they were caught unaware with that last I checked.
So the show is still good for fun watching, I really don't watch the adverts nor do I even have a TV, (I watch all these shows on my PC) so I don't really care what they advertise.
