Advantages: Novel idea, good action scenes. Disadvantages: Far fetched to say the least. Full of coincidences galore.
conclusions as to why that might be.
As luck would have it, there is an FBI agent (Mark Benford), who is on the case, who thinks that his FlashForward will hold the key to why this has happened and if it is likely to happen again. He begins to follow leads and try to piece varying Flashforwards together.
Even luckier, is a piece of footage that shows a person was awake at the time of the blackout in a soccer stadium, why were they awake and who are they?
I don't want to say too much, so that I don't spoil it for anyone, but needless to say, some people aren't too happy with what they see in the future and some are just confused.

Advantages: Very fast-paced and exiting. Disadvantages: Too much difficult language used
