Category 5 hurricanes. Rains of fishes. Rains of snakes. Rains of truck parts, hours after the storm has passed??!! Rampaging zombies with superpowers of supernatural origin, but first they had to be infected by a virus! Sunspots caused all of the above, because the creators of this ginormous turd are climate change deniers, who would rather blame disaster trends (real and imagined) on gay people than human activity. Funny how the same people would insist that humanity is faulty (sinful) by nature, and they confess to that in their churches, but politically it's other people who are the problem.

You can see all of the above and more within the first 20 minutes of this incredibly ridiculous series, which is all the time I could waste on it, although you will likely never see an overt religious message if you endure the whole of the two seasons so far. Because that's how religious, science-hating media content creators operate these days, and it has always been their style to become increasingly dishonest in proportion to the decline of their churches.

"In the tradition of...Blade Runner..." If you fell for that, you will be disappointed. OK, it was a story of world-changing, or potentially world-changing technology, which would be controlled by a super-villain who treats people like pawns in a chess game, the plot turned around a mysterious and rather silly object, and the visual tones set with dim light through overhead fans was directly lifted from Blade Runner. However, the Blade Runner cinematography was professionally done, if not high-budget, while this movie showed ridiculously amateurish effects and the shooting was dirt cheap. The music score was probably done on the director's own keyboard, what annoyingly cheesy crap! Therefore, you really won't feel like you are watching Blade Runner, and it may take a patient 20 minutes before you feel the hook set to keep you watching it through the end.

Where this movie made up for all it's directorial and executive awfulness was a surprisingly interesting, twisting plot, and acting talent which deserves to outlive the stink of such no-talent directing - these kids kept me from walking away, and the villain did his job well too. The humor, the romance, the hope, and the despair is strong enough that you can feel it. Don't watch this movie to be wowed by sci-fi effects, nor even the ideas which it spins around, but it's well-worth the time to see an interesting story.
