Initially, it started out well (the pilot episode) and it was intriguing enough to keep your attention. However, the script has let it down terribly, that and some of the characters are awful. I didn't care about most of the characters and would have liked if they were killed off right away, the stereotypical roles at play are such nonsense and we have seen it 1000 times before. I won't give away the plot but it hasn't made me want to watch another episode (I might have given it a try but there are no more at the moment), it's just not in the same league as The Walking Dead etc. The current rating 7.7/10 is unbelievable, how anyone can give it above 5 is beyond me.Obviously, I am only judging it on the pilot, but that was enough for me, if you are like me and know when a good series grabs you and you're hooked on it right away, then you will know if this isn't for you.

Without going into too much detail, I just cannot see the point in this Pilot, nothing anyone did made any sense, like the following: Why would you choose to go to a strangers house with other total strangers just because you had just been stuck in a lift for 5 minutes with them ? Why would an escaped convict come back to rescue some people including a police officer who he had met 2 minutes earlier and threatened with a gun when the city was swarming with police and other rescue personal ? Why does everyone swear so much, every sentence contained "fucking", the Irish character only knows this word, but hey nobody seems really bothered, there seems to be something else going on (a few booming noises and a lot of people hanging around in the streets, swearing) but everything appears to be normal, but just in case its not lets stick together with an escaped convict and a dodgy looking Irish gob shite ! Just to keep us interested in the end we have a weird guy painted blue with snazzy eyes and little horns appear and attempt to caress our heroine, he however gets knocked down and decides it will be quicker to get away by crawling on his back ! Does it make much sense ? Well it didn't to me !

It was absolutely painful to watch the pilot. It's filmed so badly, they never actually show anything. All the scenes are framed so narrowly, you can't tell what's going on around. Even when they show the huge crowd from the above, you can't see what's actually going on. It's just a crowd with a bunch of people running back and forth. No explosions, no collapsed buildings, no fire.The explanation is quite simple - the production is so cheap, the most they could afford is to make the actors look afraid, but never show what they are afraid of.Yeah, there was a small CGI scene at the very end of the pilot, must have lasted less than 20 seconds. Cheap thrills, not impressive.The actors were not impressive either. I can't say that I really liked any of them, which in itself tells me a lot. I don't remember the last TV show where I didn't like at least one actor.

I haven t read a single review talking about the bible... I might be wrong but it feels like the show is based on the bible genesis...everything makes me thing of it... The end of the world to be more precise...7 sins are the base of the show. Every characters are related to it but why 8 and not 7 because one might be the savior or has a special purpose. Everybody is born on March 7... HeheheFor me everything made sense from the first minute to the end except one scene: " they escaped trough the streets way too easy.. No more people were on the streets and the cars were all gone..." Was a piece of cake to drive in the streets...Apart from that I was only thinking about " the stand" from Stephen king... I don't want to spoil the review of the first episode but give it a try and try to see beyond the weird attitude of the actors or scenes and u will have a different vision... Everything has been made for a purpose...Maybe because I was raised as a catholic and having read the bible I have a different point of view and I might be completely wrong but I think I kind of see where the show is going and I love it...Unfortunately looking at the reviews I think it will be doomed from the start because most people didn't look beyond the scenes and find it dumb...Anyway try it u might like it or hate it...
