Relive every brilliant twist of the groundbreaking show’s complete series – uninterrupted – in this 5-disc collection. It’s a must-have for any FlashForward fan!

At first, the sci-fi/action/drama series FlashForward compared favorably to its logical model, Lost--both shows hinged upon a devastating event that changed the lives of a vast array of characters who then struggled to understand what had happened to them. But despite solid performances from its cast--which counted Lost vets Dominic Monaghan and Sonya Walger among its number--FlashForward couldn't replicate Lost's ability to lure viewers back to the island each week for five years. Part of the problem was the way its intriguing premise was handled; after a worldwide blackout allows numerous individuals to glimpse their lives six months into the future, a government task force is created to investigate the phenomenon. Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love) and John Cho (Star Trek) head the team, grappling with both individual responses to the blackout as well as their own experiences and that of their families, which include Fiennes's wife (Walger), her intern (Zachary Knighton), and a host of supporting players. Sprawling, multilayered series such as these require a subtle balance between character development and action, and FlashForward never found it; dialogue was overripe, characters were broad and underdeveloped, and the program never found the proper way to reveal aspects of its core question--what did happen during that two-minute-and-17-second blackout--in a manner that would bring back repeat viewership. As a result, FlashForward limped to an ignominious finale, which took place, ironically enough, four days after the final episode of Lost.

The five-disc Complete Series--which renders the previous Part One, Season One set useless--includes a healthy selection of supplemental features, most of which are included on the fifth disc. A single commentary track by Dominic Monaghan and producer Jessika Borsiczky is featured on the two-part episode, "Revelation Zero"; it's breezy and occasionally informative, like Monaghan's commentary on the Lost DVD releases. Architects of Destiny is a 20-minute overview of the series as a whole that focuses on the main participants, while five FlashForward on Set featurettes look at several set pieces from a behind-the-scenes perspective. Less intriguing are faux interview segments with blackout survivors, 10 deleted scenes, and various promotional clips for the show; the disc 5 menu also has an Easter Egg that yields the nine-part Stories from the Mosaic, the documentary-series-within-the-series about individuals' experiences with the blackout. --Paul Gaita

Flashforward was the show to replace LOST. The networks promoted it as such and some of us even believed it could be as good as the television greatness benchmark. I never thought that it would replace LOST, but I had hoped it would fill the void after LOST went into the great beyond. The show from the start was disappointing. It was never bad just not up to the level of greatness that ABC had promoted it as. The story took a little long to develope and the characters themselves lacked depth for far too long. As the show reached it's hiatus though the stories and characters really kicked into gear. The plot twists we expected from the show finally started to appear. As the show entered hiatus it was really on a roll, and when it came back four months later it really amped up the action with amazing episodes. Some of the stories in the show never really interested me. Like Aaron and his dead daughter. It always seemed seperated from the central mythos and Aaron and Tracy themselves always seemed like they should have been left on the cutting room floor. Thankfully this deadly duo didn't recieve alot of screen time throughout the series and I was greatful. The actors themselves did a great job. They never missed a beat. Dominic Monoughan joining the cast after a few episodes was a welcome treat and was the real start of the story picking up.

When Simon is introduced to the plot another side of the story is revealed. You finally start to see who was behind the blackout, but never to my satisfaction do you find out why they did it. There were some clues that Mark obtained that never seemed to pan out to real revelations, but I can assume that they would have been important to the plot had the show continued. The love triangle between Mark, Olivia, and Lloyd is very well done. Mark is the main character and he has to choose between saving the world and saving his marriage. Olivia Mark's wife sees herself with Lloyd in her flashforward. Though she is loyal to her husband it soon becomes apparent that the universe has other things in store. Mark has to try and maintain his life at home while trying to unravel the mysteries behind the global blackout. It adds a great depth and vulnerability to the protagonist. Another interesting plot is Mark's partner Domitri who saw nothing when he blacked out. He soon finds out that if you saw no future you will be dead by April 29th. It's really cool to see how this character deals with his mortality. The main plot and question to the series is the most interesting. Can the future be changed? How these characters fight the future or make sure it comes true is an interesting window into how these characters think and feel about their lives and who they really are.

The show in the first few episodes was centered more on the overall plot of the blackout and less on the characters and their development. After a few episodes though they complimented themselves nicely and I started to really care about these people. As the series continued it added more character centric episodes that explained each character through flashbacks of their time before the blackout, or during it. This really helped the series to delve into what makes these characters tick and the series was way better for it. The show does have a sci fi element to it, but that shouldn't scare anyone away from this astounding series. The characters themselves root the plot in reality as they struggle to fight the future. A bit of a warning to those that buy this series on DVD or Blu Ray the show does not have a tidy ending. The final episode was shot as a season finale so there is a cliffhangar. It's nothing too serious and you can create your own ending based on what you learn, but it sure does leave you begging for more. This series ultimatly failed to capture the imagination of the audience and that is a shame. It may have been chosen as the sucessor to LOST, but what can really live up to that hype. Flashforward turned into one of the more enjoyable series this year, but unfortunatly there was no one left watching to experience it. I recommend it to fans of the serialized dramas like LOST or Fringe as it is a unique story thats worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece! Doesn't Even Compare To Lost

FlashForward was fantastic! The only thing that upset me about it was that it only got one season of airtime. Lost got waaaaaaaaaaaay too many seasons. Lost was a plane wreck from the start before the plane even crashed officially. FlashForward was predictable in a way for me, just because I am a natural born sleuth when it comes to any mystery series. Hetty Wainthropp Investigates has been the only one to successfully stump me. Shoot!

FlashForward...

Okay, you all know why I am reviewing this one. I am getting all of Dominic Monaghan's T.V. and film appearances out of the way first. This was probably Dominic Monaghan's best role since Hetty Wainthropp Investigates. He played two totally different characters from two totally different brilliant drama genres. Geoffrey Shawcross is a sweet, innocent, adorable, dare I say scrawny little twirp, but in a sophisticated way. Simon Campos is mature, criminal, mischievous, divinely sexy, and an manipulative, arrogant, selfish pain in the ass. Monaghan's character just makes you wanna throw him on the bed and make a man out of him! Dominic does an excellent job playing Simon. Even though he is a deviant little s***, there is a sensitive side that he is clearly hiding from the world. He's even hiding it from his sister. Simon Campos was a beautiful character for Dom to play. I think it is the most closely related to Monaghan's real personality. He hides his true nature from the world 24/7. There are very few people who get a chance to see the real Dom. If he is meeting you for the first time, he will hide his emotional side, but trying to show you a fake rough exterior to mask his real pain. Simon Campos is afraid of his own feelings so much so that when they actually come out, he'll hide himself thinking no one will understand. Or Simon will try real hard to do what he believes is right, but fails miserably because after he realizes how much he hurt someone else from a stupid mistake, he'll fall into deep emotional despair. One that no ever sees unless they accidentally walk in on Simon while he is going through it. Simon is Monaghan's most troubled character out of all the roles he has played. Many of you may not see it that way, but it's true.

More to come!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another television cliffhanger

I don't watch these serial programmes on television but buy them years later to view. As such I watched the entitr series for the first time on dvd.
Flash Forward is entertaining, and the actors do an excellent job. One can see that money was spent to provide good special effects and sets.
Everything has to be viewed as fiction, as the story is full of events that are highly unlikely and not very plausible. I kept wondering why the writers would assume viewers would not question the lack of security at various offices and installations, as one example.
Unfortunately, the series ends rather quickly without answering most of the questions it makes. There really is no ending or conclusion to every one of the major and minor subplots. The viewer is simply left hanging. The last few minutes of the last episode presents even more questions suggesting that the series will continue next season to address these and finish all the open questions the viewer is left with. Did the network cancel Flash Forward?
So, enjoy an entertaining programme knowing that like so many other television series it will end incomplete.

"FlashForward - L'intégrale de la série" est un véritable tour de force narratif qui vous plonge dans un monde où chaque être humain a vécu une vision du futur pendant deux minutes et dix-sept secondes. Cette série captivante explore les conséquences de cet événement mondial et nous entraîne dans une quête pour comprendre ce qui se cache derrière ces flash-forwards et s'ils peuvent être modifiés.

L'intrigue est remarquablement construite, mêlant habilement mystère, suspense et drame humain. Chaque épisode nous offre des révélations surprenantes et des rebondissements captivants qui maintiennent l'intérêt du spectateur tout au long de la série. Les scénaristes ont réussi à tisser une toile complexe d'intrigues entrelacées, mettant en lumière les liens entre les personnages et les enjeux qui se dessinent.

Les performances des acteurs sont excellentes, avec des personnages crédibles et attachants. Joseph Fiennes incarne brillamment l'agent du FBI Mark Benford, qui mène l'enquête sur les flash-forwards. Les interactions entre les différents personnages sont riches en émotions et en tension, ajoutant une dimension humaine à l'intrigue.

La réalisation est soignée, avec des effets spéciaux convaincants et une bande originale immersive. Les décors et les lieux de tournage contribuent à créer une atmosphère intrigante et angoissante, renforçant l'immersion du spectateur dans cet univers où les destins sont entremêlés.

This is one series that should really have gone on to at least give the final punch. Its plot was well constructed and original, the actors were good, the premises was ideal, so why did they pull the plug? Anyway, it is well worth your time to listen to this fantastic first and only season.

5.0 out of 5 stars La grande incompiuta
Reviewed in Italy on July 8, 2013

Grande serie, con un considerevole dispiego di mezzi, che, poi, è stata la causa del suo fallimento. Voglio dire: se fai una serie tv a costi contenuti, basta anche un'audience bassa per garantire uno o più sequel, ma se fai le cose in grande, allora devi ottenere responsi importanti, pena la cancellazione della serie. A nulla è valso neppure il tam tam mediatico dei fan che hanno sommerso youtube di video "promozionali" (centinaia di fan che fingevano un flash forward accasciandosi sul suolo tutti contemporaneamente, con gli astanti sbigottiti che non capivano cosa stesse succedendo). La Fox (rea di una programmazione impossibile, in concorrenza diretta con Lost) si è subito tirata indietro e la casa produttrice (ABC Studios), senza un grosso canale televisivo interessato alla messa in onda, ha dovuto abortire ogni proposito di sequel (l'unica alternativa era il low budget, che avrebbe scontentato tutti).
Personalmente ho trovato altalenante la caratterizzazione dei personaggi, che è poi l'ingrediente fondamentale di qualsiasi serie televisiva; lo stesso protagonista principale è piuttosto sciapo: Joseph Fiennes sarà bravo quanto volete, ma il suo personaggio non coinvolge.
Peccato, perché l'idea, "rubata" dall'omonimo romanzo di Sawyer, era geniale e le possibilità di sviluppi narrativi praticamente illimitate.
