By Kara McCluskeyThe Event is NBC’s newest suspense thriller. It airs Mondays at 9:00 pm. The series premiere began with some sort of catastrophe. Shaky camera, people running, pure chaos; viewers found themselves instantly hooked. Just then, it jumped to a commercial break; viewers were completely confused, but dying to find out more.
The episode itself is a series of flashbacks and flash-forwards as the stories that lead to the catastrophe at the start of the episode, “the event”, are pieced together. In addition to these changes in time, the point of view jumped from character to character. By the time the show reached the second commercial break, viewers were still confused, as there were many loose ends to the story.
In the final parts of the episode, viewers were able to piece together much of what occurred. The episode comes full circle, back to “the event” at the beginning. At this point if viewers thought there weren’t going to be any more surprises, they were mistaken. The final scenes of the episode left viewers wide-eyed and in pure disbelief. What initially seemed like some sort of government conspiracy seemed to be something different, something supernatural.
The episode ends. Viewers should have a general understanding of what happened, but will definitely be left with many unanswered questions. Suspenseful, thrilling, shocking, indescribable; you’ll have to see for yourself to find out, what is The Event?
