The show was a watered down romantic rip off, of the movie Equilibrium. With no fighting. Standard easily readable plot line Two characters fall in love. Get split up. Have to then find each other etc.... All the time the big leaders are living secretly with love. The cure is just to control the masses. With the sub plot of finding her father. That we know will never happen until the very last episode or he'll die after series 2. 5 minutes after finally finding him..The whole no love but every other emotion is intact..??? Futuristic nonsense, wrapped up in a Romeo & Juliet package. Standard boring teen romance.

I admire this book, really. It has an amazing story line. And I was delighted when I heard this book to be adapted into TV Movie. When I saw the first time, I particularly liked the casting Emma Roberts as Lena. Because she does look like Lena description! Eyes that aren't green or brown, but a muddle. Not thin but not fat either. The only thing you could definitely say about Lena is: She's short. and I think she's great portrayed as Lena. Daren Kagasoff as Alex, are you kidding? he did not look like Alex. In the book Alex is describe with golden brown hair, like leaves in autumn just as they're turning, and he has bright amber eyes. He's tricky one. and I thought Alex Pettyfer would look great as Alex Sheathes. And poor Hana, she is nowhere near Hana description. Hana has golden hair, halo hair and bright gray eyes, not black. I prefer Ashley Benson as Hana.Pretty good pilot. I really hope that one day it will become a movie. Because the story of this book is fascinating.(sorry if my grammar is messy)

This is a pilot for a show; it is not a movie.This pilot was interesting and as much as I wanted to love the show, I did not. I thought it had potential, but however did not live up to my expectations from all of its promotion.The show is worth the watch at least for the concept. I have not watched anything from the WIGS network before, so that also made the show intriguing.There are holes in the plot and the special effects could be far better. Where it was going to lead was very obvious; I am not sure if that was bad directing or if that is how the book was written.If they would have continued the show I would have watched it for the concept, not because I loved the show. There are a lot of shows I watch because I like the type of show it is (like science fiction or fantasy).

This aired an a pilot episode on Hulu after it was rejected as a series for the Fox channel. I actually wish that I never watched this because after seeing it I longed for another episode, but then after a quick google search realized there would not be another. It's a great thriller romance and the plot is fairly original. I think the actors chosen also played their parts well and none of them came with a predetermined character type that they usually play the role of. Great show and I wish it could have been picked up; I'll just have to read the books to find out what happens.
