The River Starts Flowing On October 9...

My interest has been piqued by the trailers on SyFy and I'm looking forward to The River... but then again I felt the same about Lost, Invasion, Alacatraz, Terra Nova and countless other 'mystery' shows that have either written themselves into nonsensical corners or finished without satisfactory answers or explanations.

And, of course, like so many of these shows that get our hopes up here in the UK it's already been axed in the States - after a single, eight-episode season - before, presumably, the "big reveal" of what's actually going on.

So is it even worth the effort of watching these episodes?
