Persons Unknown is the new thriller from NBC that airs on Monday nights at 10/9 central. With the same otherworldly suspense, mystery, and interpersonal strife as Lost, this new series has real powerhouse promise. And with the recent demise of Lost sci-fi TV fans everywhere can find sweet comfort in the addition of Person's Unknown to the summer lineup.

Trapped in a small town, monitored by security cameras, and unsure of whom to trust, desperation and paranoia will test the limits of each hostage. Who's behind the cameras? Why can't they leave the town? How does everything that's broken get instantly replaced? Like Lost every episode leaves you with more questions than answers, in the most delightful way. As one IMDB user said, "Simply fantastic."

The series premiered on June 7, 2010 and episode 4 will air June 28. You can catch up on the first three episodes over at Hulu's Person's Unknown page. You can also watch full episodes at the Person's Unknown homepage.
