harshalagrawal03 Alec Ross wakes up on a bed he doesn't recognize, with a family he doesn't remember, inside a town that seems too peaceful to be real. As, he discovers more and more people that feel the same way, he tries to find the reason behind all of this.So, why this series is good? Because, some thriller series wait for the end of a season to reveal something big. This doesn't even wait for the end of an episode. And, if you blink an eye you will miss something. This is a very fast paced series with material of 2-3 seasons packed in one. Mysteries are fresh, creative and leads to more questions that will keep you guessing. Often with big conspiracies, everything is shown black and white. Our hero is portrayed as good and soldiers/employees of powers that be, are bad. But here, they have lots of gray area on both sides, which keeps the story realistic. Also, despite the plot being very huge, the writers of this show handled the script flawlessly. This series could have gone for 3-4 more seasons as many minor questions remain unanswered but the primary objective of season 1 was achieved so in a way it gives you closure at the end.

phil-1393 I'm from Portugal and this series begun here in the end of June. It was really catching in the beginning,the actors are great in their roles and they make us believe that the story is real. However, being a curious person, I searched on youtube and I just finished watching the series. I dare say that the writers didn't know what to do to make an accurate ending and they left the story unfinished, I guess they did that to leave the opportunity for a new season but the viewers deserved a better treatment.My vote is 7 for the whole show but, for the last episode, it should be a 2.

tim-sharp New Zealand has an astounding amount of TV and Film talent for such a small population and This is Not My Life is a well acted and beautifully produced piece of TV. I think that the care that went into this goes beyond scriptwriting and acting (both of which are top notch).The sets and setting are detailed and consistent down to the graphical user interfaces on PDAs and office computers - an alternative but very plausible view of where 2010 technology is heading. The look and feel of the world we are being invited into here has details that describe a dystopian New Zealand down to the overly plastic 'Kia Ora' greeting. Although this is a very Kiwi futuristic drama I hope that this TVNZ production gets taken up by the international networks, it deserves as wide a showing as possible.The plot owes something to the 1960s series 'The Prisoner' and also to 'Lost' given that the early episodes resolve nothing about how Waimoana came to exist. More than that there is a Kubrick feel to this production based on a tenacious attention to detail by the whole team.

geraint-817-302640 I doubt I have watched a TV series end to end since From the Earth to The Moon' but at last a show that assumes some intelligence of it's viewers and setting and story line that leads you to want to know more.Clever style making the most of real places, buildings and setting - so does not feel too far in the future. The NZ production (and hence I assume lower budget available than a US made series) seems to have led to more thoughtful writing and directing and probably works in its favor. It will be interesting if greater funding ahead will round off the edges.Various levels of story it seems, so one suspects the story will actually become more complex as it goes along.Also real-life modern NZ-English language and architectural style should add a level of interest to non-NZ audiences and so probably appeal to those looking for more thoughtful programs than most.Could be the basis for a long running and trend setting sci-fi-ish series. Well done guys.
