Posted on by

I am one of those people who thought that the plot of lost got, well, lost. This doesn’t mean I haven’t had a a yearning for a good thrilling drama. I have been pining the end of The West Wing for a while now. This is why I want to tell everyone about The Event. It’s a sci-fi thriller, it’s poltical, it’s drama. It’s a whole lot of good TV rolled into one.

A new high-octane US thriller starring Jason Ritter as a man whose investigation in to the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée unwittingly exposes the biggest cover-up in American history…Only, unlike Lost, you can actually know what is going on. There’s aliens and a boyfriend trying to find the women he was about to propose to.

It has been a while since I found something to get excited about but I won’t be missing an episode of this.

There is a taster below.

The Event, October 2010, Channel 4. www.channel4.com/event

I have to admit. I am a sucker for a good American TV show. I am not saying us Brits can’t make good telly, Spooks, The Inbetweeners, Misfits, Downtown Abbey ring a bell, but sometimes no-one does it like the Americans. The Events is evidence of that. A brilliant thriller. Keep an eye out for it. It’s a must see.

THE EVENT

An emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller, this much anticipated new US series makes its UK premiere on Channel 4 this autumn.

Sean Walker (Jason Ritter) is an everyman who, while investigating the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée Leila (Sarah Roemer), unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history.

Sean’s quest sends ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including newly elected U.S. President Martinez (Blair Underwood), Sophia (Laura Innes), the leader of a mysterious group of detainees, and Sean’s shadowy father-in-law (Scott Patterson).

Their futures are set on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind.
