(ABC, premieres Feb. 7 @ 9 p.m.).

Too edgy for kids younger than 13.

Take one part Lost, blend with one part Heart of Darkness (check out the 1993 movie starring Tim Roth and John Malkovich), and sprinkle in a pinch of Jurassic Park. What you get is The River, a show about famed explorer Dr. Emmet Cole (Bruce Greenwood), who goes looking for magic deep in the Amazon and never returns. Six months later, his son Lincoln (Joe Anderson) is shocked when his dad’s emergency beacon suddenly goes off. He teams with his mom Tess (Leslie Hope), Dr. Cole’s ex-producer Clark (Paul Blackthorne), and a ragtag crew to go looking for him. This show is dark, mysterious and a whole bunch of fun.
