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.

2/5

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.

Ugh, where to begin. Utter trash. Woke BS. Gay couple, lesbian couple, Christian guy is a crazy kidnapper, white guys are dumb or weak or criminals. White woman cheats with a Hispanic man. Do not waste your time. CGI is so bad the early 2000s called.

This show gets criticized for being a Lost rip off might be (they name drop it in the 1st episode) but I never watched Lost 121 episodes seems like too much of a commitment for a show like that so if there are driect comparisons between Lost an La Brea we'll i didn't get them as for the 1st season of this show I like it.

This show pissed me off so freaking bad, it’s like a pet peeve if it was a show. All the main characters get 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars for annoying the frick out of me, the family is extremely selfish and everyone is incredibly dumb for not saving themselves when they have the chance and for not sticking together. Clearly being stuck in 1000 did not give them thick skin which makes the show even more unrealistic because being American has gave them 0 survival skills and has made the show super predictable. Like that one guy in the other comment said, all of the characters should’ve died after 10 minutes into episode 1 and done everyone a huge favor, or at least Gavin, Eve, Izzy and Josh and Veronica and Judah and that one Indian guy and that one drug dealer, actually no yeah EVERYONE. Please protect your peace and don’t watch this show.

Where to start? Acting awful. Characters are more boring than Starmer. A cardboard box has more charisma. Storyline even worse. You’re actually hoping all the characters would have been killed off in episode 1.
