The Crossing

After reading some reviews I'm glad I'm not the only one that is fed up with ABC. For once they have an interesting series and of course they have to cancel it. They have absolutely no clue when they have a good show. I was already not a big fan of ABC, with alot of mediocre shows, but now I'm completely done with them. The Crossing had a good storyline, with an interesting concept, decent actors, and good twists and turns. It's a shame they cancel this promising show. You wonder who is the moron that decides such a thing. He or she is just incompetent.

Too bad ABC cancelled it! Wow, I don't understand what they are thinking. About one of the best new sci-fi series in a long while. I'm done with ABC as well.

I've heard people complain that this plot has been done 100 times before after only watching one or two episodes. I don't know about you, but when I watch a new show, in the first couple episodes, I can usually pick out things that have been done 100 times! But then it got better & in my opinion, the Crossing does too. So Steve Zahn plays a Sheriff named Jude in a small town (I don't remember what it's called). Jude has a past & to make a long story short without the spoilers, he was in a big city, some stuff went bad, so he comes to idyllic small town where nothing usually goes bad & things go bad.Admittedly, that's been done a few times.) Of course Big Brother Government shows up & takes over. It turns out that these people aren't illegal aliens trying to escape a war torn situation. They're actually Americans trying to escape a war torn situation. This show was cancelled but I still don't want to spoil anything so I can't say anything more about where the people are from or how they got there. There's a lot going on in this show, which is why I wish people would've stayed with it. Every episode, something new happens or we find out something new about someone. It's mystery, sci-fi, action, comedy, love story, and drama all in one show. I'm very disappointed that more people didn't give it a chance.

Kept me hooked to the TV, too bad we won't be seeing season 2. Stupid TV network has cancelled this show.

An above-average series with a nice and interesting premise, definitive potential, dedicated acting, but with a semi-lethargic flow and some dragging episodes.

It lacked intensity, character and "leadership"; on the other hand, it was finding its footprint and developing at its own pace, slowly but surely, with a brilliant cliffhanger.

It doesn't take genius executives to understand the potential this series had. All it took was looking past the initial ratings point, which would have surely increased with a smoother and more suspenseful season 2 bringing more fans to the field.

Unfortunately, the Network didn't give the show a second chance. The mindset between real success and failure.

Now, it can keep counting on its "stellar" soap-opera series with two-digit seasons.
