Aftermath

70% of the reviews I have seen for this show are bad and make the show seem like a complete rubbish, but I actually like the shows idea and storyline. It's sad that it ended only after 1 season, I would have loved to see more of it. But the acting.. ugh, okay yes, some of the main actors are honestly terrible. It was a horrible job from Julia Sarah Stone (Dana) and Levi Meaden (Matt). I wouldn't say that the others were perfect, but at least they made the acting believable and didn't made me facepalm every time they came on screen. The only one from the young actors who was actually good was Taylor Hickson (Brianna). So the acting is yeah pretty bad, idea and storyline are actually interesting, but the events and problems seemed to solve pretty much always at the end on the episode, so that made it a bit boring and frustrating.

Look the only reason why ill give this show a chance its because two reason,first the last season i followed "Hunters" and i dunno before i realized i want to drop the show it was too late i was then in the 7/8 episode so i went all the way and at the end that show was at the most a solid 5 so if i went thru that why not thru this? besides its promessing or at least more than it was hunters so im staying lol, and the second reason is there are at least two or three shows of SyFy that im having a really hard time to find online starting with dominion so ina certain way i don't wanna miss a "potencial" show that this channel could offed u know? Some good Points in this first episode -The teenagers actor are really cute especially the blonde guy -Alot to explain so a good team of writers could make a good juice of it

If i could just ask to improve one thing will be the photography i mean get a really good secuences of the ambient.

Another thing i found interesting is that at least four shows that i am gonna stick with this season are just getting six epidodes and are a lot more better and promessing than this one and yet this is getting 13 lol... But oh well...Im stayin :D sorry for bad English

This show is not perfect i'll agree. The first episode was quite bad. However, I decided to go ahead and watch another and to my surprise it did get better. This show is not supposed to be our "normal" zombies and is not about a disease outbreak from what I can tell. I would say this show is more supernatural than anything and I actually look forward to seeing the next episode. I'm not saying it should be rated a 10 or even an 8 but it is certainly better than a 4. Some characters are quite good while other are pretty poor. The story is actually pretty interesting and definitely not what I expected. When I started this show I thought it was going to be another outbreak zombie flick ( which is what was looking for). However it is not really about zombies at all, like the first episode leads you to believe. If you are into the supernatural or the biblical apocalypses I suggest you give this show a chance.

BUT I had to come here to see if anyone else had a problem with a 28 year old dating a 15 year old. I think that the comments about Anne Heche are pretty accurate and the writing, etc.

I knew I watched it before but figured I'd watch it again and now I'm scratching my head. It wasn't HORRIBLE but just wow.

Still if you are interested in wasting a little time, give it a go.

LOL

EDIT: based on the first 3 episodes

This seems to be more of a religious gun fetish wet dream than any kind of serious story. Mostly interesting to watch to see how some part of humanity might think - after all this is no Harry Potter and some folks actually believe this to be reality, which adds a fun twist. Those folks just need to learn how things in reality work - for example that you can not talk back on the announcing system of a supermarket in the parking lot.

And damn - the righteous in the series certainly turn into killers in no time and are able to predict the future.

EDIT: below old review based on first episode

Is it all unbelievable non-sense ... yeah, it is based on the bible so what do people expect? Scientific reasoning?

But it makes for an interesting setup to tell more survival stories with a lot of diversity. And the bible does have plenty of different angles to explore to make for interesting fantasy.

This is based on just the first episode and so no idea where they will take it, but the setup is solid. If you are okay with slow-ass zombies in the Walking Dead somehow beating the militaries of the world, then this is easy to swallow too.

Will keep watching! Hope the stories will match the whole setup.
