Eight people who never met from different areas of the world seem to form a mental bond to each other.
This is as much as you need to know about the plot before going into it. Everything else would be a spoiler.
And I'll be damned, you'll be rewarded with the best, most emotional, most suspenseful, funniest, most complex and most inclusive piece of television you've seen in a long time.
The only problem is: This Pilot needs patience.
Nowadays it seems like most shows spoonfeed the plot to the viewer starting in the very first episode. This show doesn't do that.
It takes it's time to thoroughly introduce each of the eight main characters, gives all of them their own personal storylines, and waits with introducing the main conflict until episode seven.
Does that mean it's boring? Hell no. It might be confusing in the first two or three episodes and require you to pay attention, and not just watch it while you do something else, but at the very latest during episode four, you'll understand the abilities the characters have and fall in love with each and every single one of them.
That's a promise.
That being said, the first episode does an impeccable job of foreshadowing different events and moments later in the series, and even upon multiple rewatches, you'll still find new things you haven't noticed before.
It really all comes down how patient you can be. And if you are, this show rewards you with a complex and interesting narrative and lovable characters you can't help but to root for. And in the end, this show might actually change your life. Or at least your way of thinking.
And that is worth every single second.
