Very odd that the American TV airing begins with episode 2


Anyone know why Sundance isn't airing the very first episode of this series?


reply

I was wondering the same thing. Just a 2 minute recap of the first episode or "first day" and then the premiere of the second episode. So strange. What happened?

reply

I deleted the series from my DVR schedule. Hopefully the ENTIRE series will eventually appear on Netflix. I refuse to watch any series with a missing first episode.

Yeah, you're not alone. The commercials made me look forward to the show, and seeing that they skipped over the pilot was really disappointing. I expect better from Sundance.

Jeez, now I understand why it seemed like the "premiere" episode that was shown on Sundance was so goddamn hard-to-follow the plot! Watching it, I felt like I had just walked into the middle of the movie and missed all the preliminary expository set-ups...and that's because I had.

Well, if that's how Sundance is gonna play this then, screw them--I'll wait for the show to be released on disc and check it out then. It's bad enough that DirecTV doesn't even broadcast the Sundance Channel in HD anyway; I'm not putting up with missing episodes, too.
