When Jesse Pinkman escaped the Neo-Nazis and drove off into the abyss, audiences cheered.
When Dr. Greene died in ER, it was a must-see event. In the case of FlashForward , most of the main characters felt like stock characters whose only purpose was to drive the plot forward and nothing more.
From the jump, FlashForward leaned hard into its mythology and into explaining its premise. The series never took the time to properly set up its core set of characters for viewers to care about. The rushed introduction of characters only served to hinder the story and its longevity with audiences. Mark is an alcoholic in recovery and Olivia is a surgeon who is looking to get back to the life that she once had with the man she loves.
When the flashforwards occur, they both realize that Olivia is supposedly going to find a new love and Mark is going to hit the bottle again.

FlashForward's pilot even manages to borrow a massive explosion that the heroes narrowly escape. In these times, a TV series generally ran about episodes per season. N owadays, it is equivalent to seasons of any show on the streaming waves now.
With that many episodes, audiences were bound to have a filler episode here and there. With 22 episodes, FlashForward certainly found ways to stretch out the mystery by having characters partake in needless side quests i. Mark takes his daughter Trick-or-Treating and chases down a teen who has nothing to do with the story so that it could pad the episodes' run time and stall the main plot until the next big story reveal.
FlashForward , for the most part, was a very serious thriller. A flash-forward can be defined as a non-linear plot device in which the author inserts scenes in the action which preview events that happen in the future. In the hit television series The Simpsons , writers often include flash forward scenes that show the child characters, Bart and Lisa, as adults.
Flash-forward vs. Flash forwards show and actual event in the future whereas foreshadowing involves the subtle hints towards events that are to occur later in the story. A flash-forward can serve different purposes in literature.
