A massive sinkhole opens up in the middle of Los Angeles, separating a family between two worlds. The mother and son fall into an unexplainable primeval land alongside a group of strangers trying to figure out where they are, and how to get back home. Left above is a daughter, who barely manages to survive the disaster, and the father, whose troubled past and hallucinations make him an unlikely choice to help solve the mystery -- and reunite the family. But when he realizes his visions might just be the key to finding their loved ones, time will be the only thing that stands in their way.

Critics Consensus

There may be method to its madness, but La Brea simply doesn't commit to its insane premise hard enough to shake out a show worth watching - at least not yet.

Cut down on the cheese.

If you’re happy with cheesy dialogue and characters having to run away from a CGI sabre-toothed tiger after falling into a giant sinkhole that is a portal to a prehistoric dimension, then this is the show for you.

To say the plot is by-the-numbers is to slander numbers.

There’s a lot to enjoy here if you’re ready to check your skeptical brain at the couch … I hope that as La Brea relaxes into its storytelling, it accepts its own pulpiness more.

What opens up on your screen, however, is not a sinkhole but a stinkhole, down which you’ll encounter the most idiotic plotting, coupled with the dumbest dialogue ever to emerge from a human mouth.

La Brea is everything I could have hoped for, and so, so much more. It not only knows it's a Lost knock-off, one of the characters actually references it.

It's ok, entertaining enough. Not very many good shows anymore, by those standards it's entertaining enough. The daughter's acting is atrocious, some others are bad actors as well, and some are good.. which only makes those bad actors look even worse. Good concept just not the best execution, at least in season one. Hopefully the other seasons are better.

The first season seemed to be done with minimal expense. Production was sloppy, story jumped around and the acting was marginal. Second and third seasons were better. The actors did a much better job as they learned their roles. The last season came together with a happy ending although it felt rushed to line up the story with the timeline.

I thought the concept was fresh, it felt like lost which I loved, and the characters were good. It did get cheesy at times and the same lines of "im going with you. No you're not. Yes I am, we need to stay together" got over used. Overall definitely got me interested.

Catastrophic event happens, the earth opens up and down go people and everything else. Dumb as a box of rocks take on this, no body is dirty or clothes torn. It’s just dumb from the start.

This feels like an A.I. generated script

Glad they weren't too caught up in reality, or anything.
