Have you guys tried to watch Frontier? It seems to be alright but not great.

Immediately quit when the show became about interpretive dance.

**SPOILER**

DONT READ THIS RANT IF YOU WANNA WATCH THE FIRST SEASON IN FULL.




[RANT]

So between the advertisements and this thread, I committed the time to watch this start to finish. WHAT A WASTE. The story line is so extravagant that it quickly becomes unreasonable. So many things along the way are exaggerated to the point beyond questionable or reasonable. Handing someone a $50k cashier cheque just because you care? Stabbing someone in a bout of rage and them just hugging you back? The fact that they could have escaped but there was a "bigger goal".

Sure the idea was good in premise, the acting was ok and the scenery was decent as well.

I could live with the interpretive dance. It was odd enough, but different in terms of show writing creativity. But when the shooter came, the dance just distracted them. It should have made the shooter implode or something.

OH..AND IT CURES ALS?

Also? Was she lieing? Was she making it all up with those books from Amazon? WTH was that? COME ON??? I actually am even more intrigued now because so much was left open to imagination. That is the only piece where this show is creative. The WTF moments have you going...

The biggest question mark for me with the directing/writing/producing?

Why did the "Oracle" dimension lady or "other OA" speak Arabic in the first encounter and then English in the rest? I mean, they could have at least kept that up.

I do want to know what happens next, but I'd be able to live if I didn't find out.

Yeah... This show was a example of a nice intriguing trailer but the complete product was a let down.

I almost quit too but at that point I had already devoted way to much time to it and had to finish it. Was really hoping for some kind of payoff!

The FBI knows what's going on and they want in.

Who knows how many dance crews they could be talking to?!

May just have to drop 'Colony' and start watching this. Getting tired of the boring drama in between the action
