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.

This show is a bad combination of the worst you can find in supernatural, walking dead and any movie of Roland Emmerich about the end of the world. The plot is awful, The characters are very poorly made, and you can't take seriously almost anything in the history. Although the special effects are reasonable and the soundtrack is good, there is a lack of credibility and the absence of any sense of ridiculous. Hardly anyone, even a fan of apocalyptic series, will be able to endure the parade of nonsense that is presented to each chapter. The series is getting worse chapter after chapter I think it won't have a second season because the poor reception of the audience.

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

The Copeland family finds themselves struggling to survive the end of the world. The world faces a seemingly endless number of calamities. The father Joshua Copeland (James Tupper) is a cultural history professor. The mother Karen Copeland (Anne Heche) is ex-military. With their three teen kids, Matt (Levi Meaden), Brianna (Taylor Hickson), and Dana (Julia Sarah Stone), they try to stay together and escape various dangers in their RV.

This show is a mess of sci-fi monsters of the week. The characters are simply there and so is the apocalypse. After a few episodes, the show started losing me with the mounting mess. There seems to be no rules or stability. Everything is up for grabs. It takes until episode 9 when the characters come up with an explanation. The girls start wondering if time itself is screwed up. It's like an idea about the show suddenly lit up. The show is a mess because the world is suppose to exist in a mess. The mess itself makes perfect sense. This apocalypse is a world of chaos where it would be impossible to understand and survival is the only good outcome. The problem is that it needed almost the entire first season to get a hold of this show and by then, almost nobody is watching.
