As I replied to one of the promotional tweets, I think the gimmick is really interesting and would be perfect if applied to an intriguing and engaging TV show such as 1899.

The show itself was fairly typical/expected, but it was still entertaining and well done. Just your typical cheap TV viewing, like The Recruit or whatever else. I wouldn't say it was bad, but it isn't anything to care about.

Still I think the gimmick has some potential if used on something better and where the story lends itself to randomized telling.
