Just a poor representation of human behavior. I only made it about 12 minutes in before I could no longer forcibly suspend my disbelief. If you appear in a mysterious location that seems to have windows, how is one of your first thoughts not to peek out and try to assess where you are? Then there are cameras everywhere. How is one of your first acts not to smash them all? Watch the episode "Allegiance" of Star Trek: The Next Generation instead of this rather weak attempt at the same thing. It's a similar scenario, but the writing is much better. I gave this one star mostly because it seems like the writers aren't even trying. For shame.

Persons Unknown was a very respectable series with a few shortcomings in writing and some inconsistent acting. If you enjoy psychological thrillers this is absolutely worth a shot but I do warn you, NBC made some very false promises that this show would wrap up and that any lingering questions would be answered. Apparently, the plug got pulled on this series after the first season leaving it to the viewer to decide on a lot of the outcome. That being said, it's really not difficult to draw one's own conclusions and enough content was answered to leave one feeling somewhat fulfilled. I will not punish a show for the networks shameful behavior, Persons Unknown was a solid 7.5 with a perhaps even more promising future had it been given the chance and NBC's lack of honesty was an abysmal 1. If you read through a few more reviews you'll see this tends to be the consensus, some are just punishing the show with a bad rating when it was not the writers/directors/actors fault it was so short lived.

I loved the series I wish they had finished it! They escaped and caught but I wanted to know what happened after that. It was great and different. It was great it is much better than a lot of the shows that are currently running. Why do a few select people always dictate what others watch I really enjoyed it and watch it on Netflix. I know these are old post but please bring it back and finish it. I hate when you like a show and then you wait years for either an ending or none. PERSONS UNKNOWN WAS AN EXCELLENT SHOW! There are people who loved the show. I'm so tired of alien shows or zombies. Please consider bringing the show back! I'm not the only one who thinks the show was great. It is far better than that stupid show lost where they were stranded and weird things happened and the show Lost you and the fat guy got fatter lol. Where did he get his food. Bring back persons UNKNOWN.

Why is it whenever there is a great show it gets canceled? And many are left unfinished. This story could of went on for many seasons. Great cast and story line. So many shows get a lot of hype months before premiere and then bomb. Yet the network will drag it on for a few more seasons trying to convince us that it will eventually get better. This show isn't like that. A great show that silently gets cut. Who are these people who make these decisions? Too many shows get canceled without closure. Tera Nova was another great one. Jericho could of ran for years! Yet, they hype up Revolution, which was a bomb, that I'm sure they will try to run with it for years.I really liked Persons Unknown. Last episode left me wanting to see more. Too bad the network didn't see it that way. Now days, if you don't have "C.S.I.", "reality show" or dumb slap stick comedy in it, it won't make the cut. It's sad!
