Who watched "The River"?...

and what did you think? I haven't watched, my daughter said it's more supernatural than she thought it would be. If it's like Lost I don't want to watch, no matter how much I tried, I just couldn't watch that show.

It is very supernatural- think more ghosts and spirits than weird stuff like Lost. My first impression was that the main character can't act his way out of a paper bag. But I'll give it one more episode...

I was a big fan of Lost and seldom missed an episode. The River seems like a Lost wannabe that just can't cut it. From the hand held camera to the flashback story line, the show annoyed me. I was wishing they would all drown by the middle of the second hour. I don't plan to watch again.
