If you can tolerate the overly histrionic pilot and are curious enough to find out what "the event" actually is, of which there is no mention in the pilot, then NBC has a Lost-esque show on its hands. Count me out.

The Event, shrouded in mystery by necessity, is one of those shows-a whodunit spun into a big whatsit built to keep the audience scratching for answers, solving for X-files.

The "Event'' premiere operates like a well-oiled machine.

What's ultimately frustrating about The Event is not the lack of answers or the dreadfully lazy characterizations. It's the insistence that the plot somehow taps into something that's happening right now in the United States.
