If you like Lost then you should at least be a little interested in Flash Forward, a show that is actually loosely based on a novel written pre-Lost but which shares a few ideas with the soon-to-end ABC show.

Flash Forward made its debut last night, and for those who missed it, this is the trailer video. It shows how an experience is shared between everyone in the world, which is at first believed to be a mass black out but is soon discovered to be a lot more.

In essence, everyone spends two minutes and 17 seconds six months into their own, personal future. Which as any Lost fan knows is called a Flash Forward.

What people do with this knowledge is the subject of the show. Can you change the future or is it set in stone? And how come everyone in the world had that experience in the first place?

It looks amazing so I’m hoping we have another Lost-style hit on our hands.
