Flash Forward was a dramatic television series that aired on ABC from September 2009 to May 2010. The show, which was based on a science fiction novel of the same name by Robert J. Sawyer, followed the aftermath of a mysterious event that caused everyone on Earth to black out for exactly two minutes and seventeen seconds.

The series starred Joseph Fiennes as FBI agent Mark Benford, who was investigating the blackout phenomenon with his partner Demetri Noh, played by John Cho. Other major characters included Mark's wife, Olivia (Sonya Walger), his best friend and fellow FBI agent, Demetri, Janis Hawk (Christine Woods), an FBI agent who was also involved in the investigation, and Lloyd Simcoe (Jack Davenport), a physicist who was instrumental in uncovering some of the clues behind the blackout.

The show was heavily focused on the personal lives of its characters, and how they coped with the knowledge that their futures had been glimpsed during the blackout. Many of the characters found that the glimpses of their future were not what they had hoped for, leading to a sense of dread and uncertainty about how their lives would continue.

Throughout the series, the characters grappled with the idea that they had the power to change their futures, but also the knowledge that some events seemed predetermined. This led to intense discussions and debates about free will, fate, and the role of the individual in shaping their own destiny.

As the series progressed, the mystery of the blackout deepened, with new clues and revelations emerging about what had caused the worldwide event. There were also several subplots involving other characters, including a conspiracy theory about the blackout, a cult that believed the event heralded the end of the world, and various personal struggles that the characters faced in their personal and professional lives.

The show was praised for its strong ensemble cast, complex narrative, and exploration of deep philosophical themes. However, it was also criticized for its slow pacing, convoluted plotlines, and unsatisfying resolution. The series was cancelled after one season, leaving many unanswered questions and unresolved storylines.

Overall, Flash Forward was a thought-provoking and engaging science fiction series that tackled complex themes and issues with sensitivity and intelligence. While it may not have been perfect, it remains a cult favorite for many fans who appreciated its ambitious storytelling and unique approach to the time-travel genre.

Flash Forward is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (23 episodes). The series first aired on March 16, 2010.
