Extinct

This is a decent low budget series, it's very mediocre. Nothing stands out as very good or very bad, I've managed to finish it just fine, though I didn't enjoy the attempt of an ending cliff hanger.

The script is open to plot holes but tries to cover them pretty good. Some actors are not up to par, but the editing is what makes this low budget, and maybe the lack of background music. Scenery is scarce, same with special effects.

Might be a bit too long, because the deeper it gets inside the main plot the more boring it becomes and some things seem forced.

I say give it a try, some of you might enjoy it.

Another series that is mostly talking heads and does not go anywhere. The theme was somewhat different, which seemed refreshing. But it never developed and becomes boring watching similar scenes over and over again.

I tried to binge watch to get through the 8 episodes, but did not succeed, other than falling asleep. So it took a while to see all 8 episodes and then only realized that this sci-fi story is barely watchable. I came out of it with nothing good to remember.

Update: After 10 episodes seen it remains disappointing. Oh well, I'll probably not watch season 2 if that ever comes around!

Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres, so I was looking forward to the release of this series. I approach this category with an eye to good special effects, interesting tech, and decent acting. I feel these bases are covered fairly well. I was actually surprised by the high quality of some of the FX. The actors all seem committed to their performances. I left off 2 stars because there's certainly room for improvement. Overall definitely worth watching and recommending to others.

I watched the episodes of Extinct available on BYU-TV on my Roku. The pilot was a bit weak, and had one moment in particular that was cringe inducing but the rest of it has been very good.

Matthew Bellows as Jax has definitely made the series better by being a believable villain.

Better than most of the garbage on the Sci-Fi network.

I have watched the first two episodes of this show and it is off to a pretty strong start. It has a great premise and solid performances by the lead actors. Being that it's a BYUtv program the production values are not the highest but that's not a problem. Big budgets can only do so much for a show and will never save a badly made one. This show is well made. I look forward to seeing how the show continues.
