kind of show I like. A weird sci-fi premise with mystery and a seemingly omnipotent corporate entity (Lumon here, the Dharma Initiative on LOST). The idea of severing is an interesting one. It somehow seems both completely improbable and perfectly plausible with regards to the real world. The execution of the concept is sometimes uneven but overall I like the show. I'd also say if you've watched the entire first season and aren't feeling it then it probably isn't for you. It doesn't really get drastically different in terms of tone or plot in season 2.
