Terra Nova - New sci-fi series on Fox

Fox has a new sci-fi show called Terra Nova. Has anyone seen it? What do you think so far?
It's about a family who leaves the dying Earth of the 22nd century through a time rift back to 85 million years in the past, during the age of the dinosaurs. They aren't the only difficulties faced by the growing colony of people escaping to the past. The show has a feeling of wonder and discovery and the pioneer spirit. It's refreshing compared to the doom and gloom you get with many of the most recent sci-fi series. And don't worry, it's way way above shows like "The Land of the Lost"
I really like it after two episodes. It's so hard to get regular networks to take a chance on science fiction and sci-fi shows don't last very long because of the expense of making them v.s. the ratings. I think this one may appeal to a broader market because there are family interactions and drama along with the science fiction. So far the story line doesn't get lost in the special effects. It's a little too early to judge the character chemistry, but their reactions to different situations are fairly believable. I hope Fox gives it a chance to get a good following.
