Extinct

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.

Survival dramas and sci fi are two of my favourite genres and as a combination of these two I have to say I'm a big fan of this show. There are a few plot holes here and there, but given appropriate time these can be explained, hopefully it won't be cancelled before they can. So far the characters feel fairly authentic with a reasonable amount of unanswered questions to make the story seem compelling and worth exploring. The show obviously has a low budget yet they clearly seem to make the most of it, with a setting that doesn't rely too heavily on excessive special effects. It has a lot of potential, more than many shows in a first season

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.

BYUTV cancelled this excellent show on a cliff hanger, telling us that they would explain why, but didn't bother. Another shabby treatment of viewers by a network. I would expect this from SyFy, but not a tiny network like BYUTV which needs all the viewers it can get. Shame on you!

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.
