I'm going to give the show a chance and looking forward to the "Pattern" story arc and am likewise able to suspend my disbelief for the sake of my own enjoyment.

Girl in cardiac arrest? Just wrap wire around some metal and juice her back to life! Oh look, she's already awake!). Also, Joshua Jackson is a terrible actor who is further hampered by terrible writing. They need to stop making him be shoddy comic relief and start making him someone who helps solve the mysteries.

All of these aspects almost make the show a throw back to 80's adventure shows like McGuyver, The A-Team, Rip-Tide, Probe, Misfits of Science and so on. Everything gets tied up neatly and a little hokiness is par for the course. This is the most accessible J.J. Abrahms production to date.
I wonder if he's taken some criticism about Lost's tangled web to heart?
