Nicely filmed but...
Maybe I'm jaded, I love post apocalyptic films and no I've never read the books this series is based on but by the end of episode 2 I thought, nothing new here. A smattering of conspiracy, the man keeping others down blah blah. Great feeling of claustrophobia with the way it's filmed but I'd have to ask even in a world as down trodden and in dire straits as this one is, it isn't impossible to add colour, the idea that a civilisation could survive underground and feed itself but couldn't find any way to brighten the bloody place up to me is writers trying to portray the difficulty of life poorly, as life was a dammed site harder in the 15th century, more than the odd person now and then died but STILL they managed to paint, sing, write, draw, dance.... Hopefully it'll pick up but it's like I've seen it all before.
