Aftermath

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

Many other posters have described just how bad it is so I won't bother recapping things. Just accept it -- it's really, really bad.

But... it's so bad that it's funny in a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 sort of way. You just have to sit back and try to imagine which direction the next silly plot fork will go. Will the family really be stupid enough to do what the plot is leading them towards, or will they show some rare sign of above-70-IQ intelligence? Oh, it looks like the "smart" daughter is going to say something... how many different physical laws will her pronouncement violate? Oh boy, a big nasty is coming towards "mom"... will she waste it, reason with it, or run away. It really doesn't matter what happens, the chances are good that it will make no sense and lead to laughter along the lines of, "Who gave these people money to make this?" and "Maybe I can get in on the gravy train?"

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

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.

Unfortunately Syfy has opted to put on shows written by people that apparently don't know much about writing - specifically continuity, plot devices, story progression, and any number of other things that actually make for good writing.

This show, much like Syfy's Van Helsing, features a very unbelievable former military character along with poor characterization that changes moment to moment - in ONE episode. For example, in an episode one of the daughters goes from being full of hope and gung-ho about another character's odds of survival, but not even 10 minutes later is saying that there is no hope at all for another character. The entire thing just comes across as unbelievably stupid, but that is par for the course in this series.

Amanda Tapping apparently helms this show and several others on Syfy, and it seems to me that they've given her license, but not creative license... This show, like many of their newest entries, all suffer from the same tropes, poor characterization, poor writing, and overall poor presentation. The effects aren't bad for low budget television, but the writing is sub-par at best.
