About

"A global mystery about fate versus choice"

Every person on Earth blacks out simultaneously for two minutes and seventeen seconds, and each sees a vision of their own life six months in the future. An FBI agent who saw something troubling in his own flash leads the investigation into why it happened and whether the visions can be changed. It's a globe-spanning mystery box with a large ensemble cast, moving at a brisk network-drama pace, mixing personal drama, conspiracy theorizing, and moral questions about fate versus free will.

Watch it for

the intriguing high-concept premise and the tension of characters racing to change glimpsed futures.

Maybe skip if

you dislike unresolved mystery-box shows that get cancelled before answering their biggest questions.
