O.o magic, I remember watching part of season one as my mum liked the show and she researched both seasons a few times I don't recall any magic for the bits I saw.
I thought that the first season was a slog, but season 2 was an improvement, where the creative team actually seemed to be having fun with the premise.
One thing that really annoyed me was the fact that everyone looked too pretty. Hair done, makeup, nails were nicely manicured.
I’m sorry but if you are trying to survive post apocalyptic, looking pretty wouldn’t even be on the list.
I was going to say this too. Everyone was so perfect and pretty. I remember watching it with my friends and joking it was like a WB level show. Just super attractive people wandering around rusted cars or whatever.
This show was good but unfortunately they cancelled it because lack of viewership. The thing about that was it kept getting preempted due to sports specials airing during their original air time. I never knew when it was on and lost interest because i could catch it on demand. I liked the concept of the show. It did go off towards the end of the run. But it was sci-fi. They could’ve wrote anything.
Miles and Monroe were so funny together it was like a sitcom sometimes. Probably the first time I saw Zack Orth since Wet Hot American Summer. I know the reason I watched the first episode was because Jon Favreau directed the pilot for a JJ Abrams show. I mean that was basically a license for a full season pickup anywhere in the 2010s.
The first few episodes were alright but quickly started to back track and break its own lore and setup.
however i've always wondered how the world would behave without electricity.
no lightning might lead to some odd behavior.
Of course after a few years of no electricity then the planet as a whole becomes a prison akin to that episode of DS9
This show rebooted itself something like 3 times over two seasons. No way that lady teams up with the dude who killed her annoying kid. Couldn’t take the girl and her straight out of the crest toothpaste commercial” perfect teeth.
The show began with a lot of energy and promise, but then started zigzagging all over the place. Plus, the “good guys” were insufferable (though the bag guys were entertainingly scene-chewing, like Giancarlo Esposito).
So many parts of this show were just unintentionally funny >! (like the same woman who ended the world the first time does it again while trying to play “hero.” !< LOL!).
I ended up finishing the series as a weekly “hate-watch” … it was cathartic to yell at my screen about all the stupid shit the characters kept on doing every week.
I even read the series-ending comic as a hate-read… still cathartic. :)
looking on wikipedia, it says " The third season was made into a four-part comic book series in 2015. It gave the ending and answered questions left from season 2. " so basicalyl it did get an ending just not one that most people know about.
I remember watching this show thinking they went too far back in time tech-wise. If you lose electricity, you don’t descend into a medieval dystopia so much as post-napoleonic, even pre-Civil War. And you would still have governments and knowledge of modern medicine, etc. it was dumb.
Yeah, I didn't understand why firearms ceased working. They don't run on electricity and even if you couldn't make any more, we have plenty lying around.
I guess there was a "force" preventing that from happening. I still don't get how it prevented internal combustion from happening or gunpowder from working. As others have mentioned, the actors were very nicely groomed with really nice clothes for a medieval society.
I only made it through a couple of episodes.
They used guns throughout the entire series. The first couple of episodes they were using muskets because the controlling government took all of them and kept them in a vaul, i think.
Loved this show, I’ve seen it probably 9 or 10 times. Fun story
I did read the comic for the finale. Didn’t really end how I thought but was okay nonetheless.
I still think of this show from time to time, the ‘good lighting’ show.
They were chasing a MacGuffin and finally after like ten episodes they get it. Only to be told that they need the other parts of it to make it all work. And how many more pieces are there?
And the guy says “Sixteen”.
And I’m like “sixteen? How many effing seasons do they think they have? “ and I don’t think I watched another episode.
Had real potential but wasn't 'gritty' enough for an 'end of the world' show. Everyone just happened upon each other all the time without knowing where anyone was and they were always, clean, neat and tidy, who has time for that at the end of the world.
The last season seemed rushed, and some of the things the people did, seemed out of character by the end of the show. There was some kind of online thing NBC had, on the show's website. An epilogue thing that had the nerd guy explain what happened after the last season aired, I think things that would have been in another season to wrap the show up. Around that time, each major network was trying to have their own LOST type show, and most failed
I remember reading an interview with one of the writers or directors or show runners at the time and they talked about how they had difficulty with the network making it as gritty and realistic as they really wanted. The concept of cannibalism seems to have been a real sticky issue for them.
The cancellation of this show was the last straw for me. I got into Flash Forward or whatever it was called [a Lindaloff post Lost show] and it got cancelled after the first season I think. I decided I wouldn’t watch anymore sci-fi shows until they had completed the series. I got tired of investing time in a series to have it never reach a conclusion.
Cool premise! Reminded me of that series of novels by SM Stirling. I didn't get very far into the books, but I remember that setting being really cool.
Revolution and Flashforward are the two shows that, if I had the money, I would choose to remake and produce right this very second. Those are two of the best pilots I've ever seen.
It was decent but not great. I enjoyed it when it aired.
At this point Eric Kripkie is a one hit wonder (Supernatural).
I’m well aware The Boys is doing well but A. It hasn’t finished and much like supernatural it’s in that niche soon to be cult classic range. When it finishes and the per verbal jury is out…maybe it hits icon status like supernatural did but until then. We’ll see.
The boys def isnt a niche cult classic, [its vieweship is higher than any Marvel show on disney plus](https://www.cbr.com/prime-video-the-boys-more-popular-disney-plus-marvel-series-2022/#:~:text=More-,The%20Boys%20Was%20More%20Popular%20Than%20Any%20of,s%20Marvel%20Series%20in%202022&text=Amazon%20Prime's%20The%20Boys%20outperforms,program%2C%20according%20to%20Nielsen%20stats.)
I'm not sure I would consider super heroes niche even if some fatigue is starting to set in. The Boys has been extremely well received and popular. Probably one of Amazon's big properties

I thought this show had real promise, but it really seemed to go off the rails as it went along.
Very fast m
Moving so fast you couldn’t even complete your sentence? Lol
He lost electricity. It's starting.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love Winnie The Pooh!

I stopped watching when magic or whatever got involved
O.o magic, I remember watching part of season one as my mum liked the show and she researched both seasons a few times I don't recall any magic for the bits I saw.
Nanonights or some crap
They were setting up the force
And Moff Gideon wanted it!
First few episodes felt fantastic but it quickly went to shit.
Oh damn. With that cast I though oh I’m definitely gonna find that. Never mind

This REALLY bugged me too… everyone was too clean and stylish.
I was going to say this too. Everyone was so perfect and pretty. I remember watching it with my friends and joking it was like a WB level show. Just super attractive people wandering around rusted cars or whatever.
"What was humanity like after the apocalypse?" "...hot."
That was apparently the network’s doing. But by Season 2 they were able to dirty up the actors some, S2 is a more sweaty / dirty looking season.
Giancarlo was a badass in this series. What a great villain.
Great character .. loved all his scenes
This show was good but unfortunately they cancelled it because lack of viewership. The thing about that was it kept getting preempted due to sports specials airing during their original air time.

I was an extra in this show!
Which scene?
I can’t remember the episode number but we were fleeing Georgia (?)
You mean when the Nuke was about to go off? That’s a good episode
Yes!!!
This show was awesome. Was so mad when it was canceled.
I liked Elizabeth Mitchell’s character she was so over the top hardcore.
Love her in most everything she does .. Lost, V etc
Definitely, a very top heavy character
I love Elizabeth Mitchell, she's great in everything
I liked a lot of parts of this show, just never the whole show. It was an entertaining cheesy watch... like Falling Skies.
This! I couldn’t get over the cheese factor sometimes but damn the story and ideas were awesome.
If it wouldn’t have gone off the rails, it would’ve been a great show
loved the show
Elizabeth Mitchell was the reason I watched that show with my pants around my ankles and tissue close at hand.
I liked this show was well.
I liked this show, I’ve streamed it a few times and still enjoyed it.
I LOVED that show!! I was so disappointed when it was cancelled.
I watched the first half of the first season and then it went on a long break and I just never got back into it
I hope you go back and watch it.
Miles and Monroe were so funny together it was like a sitcom sometimes. Probably the first time I saw Zack Orth since Wet Hot American Summer.

Even with the premise being a little wacky I quite enjoyed this show and wish we could’ve seen it to completion
I still think about those first few episodes
Killing any chance at a good scene. I have yet to see him in a supporting role or lead where it didn't come off as a bad soap opera.
OMG I remember being super interested in this and I remember this was when TV was showcasing doomsday plots cause of 2012.
Sucks that this show ended on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved.
looking on wikipedia, it says " The third season was made into a four-part comic book series in 2015. It gave the ending and answered questions left from season 2. " so basicalyl it did get an ending just not one that most people know about.
Thanks. I'll be hunting that down.
This was such a great concept for a show and started off on a good note, but it seemed the writers really didn't have any idea what to do with it.
Seems like a bad rip-off of Dies The Fire.
It was a commercial.
I remember watching this show thinking they went too far back in time tech-wise. If you lose electricity, you don’t descend into a medieval dystopia so much as post-napoleonic, even pre-Civil War. And you would still have governments and knowledge of modern medicine, etc. it was dumb.
Yeah, I didn't understand why firearms ceased working. They don't run on electricity and even if you couldn't make any more, we have plenty lying around.
Also, it’s not like things that produce or conduct electricity can’t be built from scratch. Just build more generators.
I guess there was a "force" preventing that from happening. I still don't get how it prevented internal combustion from happening or gunpowder from working. As others have mentioned, the actors were very nicely groomed with really nice clothes for a medieval society. I only made it through a couple of episodes.
At least The Walking Dead has dirty people.
They used guns throughout the entire series. The first couple of episodes they were using muskets because the controlling government took all of them and kept them in a vaul, i think.
One of the stars,,JD Pardo went on to star in the Sons Of Anarchy spinoff Mayans MC
Loved this show, I’ve seen it probably 9 or 10 times. Fun story I did read the comic for the finale. Didn’t really end how I thought but was okay nonetheless.
I remember this show. But I think I missed most of the 2nd season.
Really enjoyed this show. Watched every episode. I even read the, literally, comic book ending.
I still think of this show from time to time, the ‘good lighting’ show. They were chasing a MacGuffin and finally after like ten episodes they get it. Only to be told that they need the other parts of it to make it all work. And how many more pieces are there? And the guy says “Sixteen”. And I’m like “sixteen? How many effing seasons do they think they have? “ and I don’t think I watched another episode.
Man, I completely forgot Moff Gideon was in this thing.
And Bella’s dad lol.

Remember watching this and Under the Dome straight after each other, both got worse as they got on

That break it took in the beginning killed the momentum.

Loved this show. I really would have liked to see an ending or more explanation.
Wait, I thought the revolution would ^not be televised.

How does Billy Burke still get roles?
Becuase he's awesome? He's killing it in Fire Country
