Who else has a strange attraction to Persons Unknown?

The kind of attraction where you are ready to give up and quit watching.  It literally is jerking you around because it just doesn’t give you enough information.  An entire episode of madness and you learn one or two more things that really don’t satisfy you.

But now, you finally find out who is in on this thing.  And that’s the thing too.  We don’t know what this thing even is.  We don’t know who these people are.  We don’t know where they are.  We don’t know why they are there.  Four episodes and we still don’t know any more than we did a few weeks ago before one episode even ran.

So, you’re about ready to quit watching and turn the channel to Law and Order: Criminal Intent when all of a sudden Joe goes to the kitchen.  He meets with the chef who escorts him to a back room where they talk about “Threatening Withdrawal.”

It’s one thing, but it’s enough to bring me back next week so that I can watch the show and learn very little getting ever more and more aggravated about the show.  That’s the kind of strange attraction I’m having.

I almost hate the show, but I have to find out what happens to these people.  I have to know why this is being done to them and how they get out of it.  Who is watching them?  Why haven’t they taken that clerk hostage yet?

I don’t understand it.  I’m watching a show that frustrates me to no end but, I can’t stop watching it.
