Review

Normally not one to watch many TVseries but this one caught my eyes. The storyline was simple enough a group of people trying to make ends meet in a postapocalyptic world in the aftermath of alien invasion. Simple! But oh my was I ever wrong.

The show will probably not change your viewinghabits but it will leave you with an deep impression of the great care the creators worked by. The characters are wellwritten and wellacted they have emotions and soul personality. They seem real. The story is paced moderately and the show rarely focuses on one element like pure action or spacey SciFiphenomena for long but manages to find the balance between these genres making a show everybody should be able to sit through. And enjoy ) The setting mood and world is believable (as believable a postapocalyptic world would be to me) and the atmosphere reaches a point of realism yet maintaining the fourth wall. The aliens are charming and sounds like the velociraptors from 'Jurassic Park' (actually a good thing) but they are more than meets the eye. We want to know more of them yet the show keeps them at bay. They blend seamless into the world of chaos thanks to the before mentioned care by the creators. This is not one of those series that rely on cheap jokes puns mundane stereotypes halfcooked morale and whathaveyou but rather depicts a world not unlike your own clever and natural.

Check it out ) BTW my first review ever on IMDb so be gentle with the rookie )
