Hurley from Lost, the Jurassic Park guy AND time-traveling criminals? Sounds great! Produced by J. J. Abrams? Amazing!

Fox's Alcatraz may not have been everyone's cup of tea, but it certainly did have an extremely compelling plot.  Unfortunately, the intriguing mystery behind Alcatraz was overshadowed by too many formulaic episodes, which rarely resulted in questions being answered.

Allowing a new series to find itself is crucial in the first season - and Alcatraz barely accomplished that by its final episode. A second season may have been rewarding for some viewers, but there's a point when the value of an answer to a question is outweighed by the time commitment needed to receive it.
