Abbye-Sei The story is probably good with some not so new idea. I get that over population is one of the main problems of the world. The whole cast of acting is so bad they can all collect an Oscar award for the most bad actors and actresses. Leading the way is the guy who play the Adam character, his voice is hoarse and unconvincing, it is a pain to watch him on screen, and the actors that play "Wiley", "chuck" , "Gord" characters, I don't know if it is the characters that is so badly written or is it just the actors portraying them failed big time. The acting is just so painful to watch to the point that I am glad Gord is killed off and I am hoping Chuck wont be getting up from his fell ... BTW, they all look way way older than 22, c'mon, that girl Wiley look like she is hitting 30 and Gord, 22? Give me a break.

djg32514 I tried to like this but it was difficult. A manufactured virus that kills anyone 22 years old and older. So effective one character does on her 22nd birthday. I won't even go into the science of how that is so improbable as to be near impossible but the government's reason for developing it? Global warming and population growth made the development an imperative. Canadian government by the way. So now we have a town that once had 8000 inhabitants reduced to 569 mostly children. A high school girl has a baby, the father is some middle aged rich guy in town and her baby is starving because they don't have formula?! I dunno but humans survived for thousands of years without baby formula but I guess breastfeeding is a big no-no in this version of society. Oh wait! I forgot women don't breastfeed in today's society. So much of this is so contrived and shallow that it really gets hard to watch. I guess if you are an uneducated adolescent it could work. Personally I got bored. So many of the Netflix produced concepts are long on social commentary and propaganda and short on reality. They have a few good ones. Very few. This isn't one of them. Writing and acting so-so. Plot argh. Some may like it but I am not one of them.

JamaisJ On the good side, there is a lot of solid acting in this, and the cast should be almost universally proud of their performances. This should definitely go in the demo reels, and McCurdy is probably one of the biggest surprises considering that prior to this she was known best for Sam on iCarly. However, unless you are really fans of someone involved don't even bring this up.There's just nothing to really make this show worth watching past the acting. The science never bothers to descend into reality, with vaccines being of the practically instantaneous sort (they are able to save a girl with literally an hour left to live), devices capable of determining if someone has been inoculated or not, and the virus itself causes someone to die once they hit 22 years old to the literal second with no warm up or anything. It's almost like they go out of their way to say that "This is just a show!" and it gets annoying after a bit.My personal favorite has to be the Mennonite kid that has a full beard (a foot-long and bushy) because...Amish.The tech also seems to be more plot-driven than anything else: There's no fear that the kids will record anything using their smartphones (and every kid has one) yet they work even with the cell towers being jammed. If you were a kid with no responsibility and your phones worked, there would be no end to the videos being tossed onto the Internet.Worse yet is that the kids seem almost wanting to kill themselves. This is the first rural community I've seen with just two farming families and yet neither is exactly over-run by visitors (the Mennonites have no problem killing intruders (yeah, the MENNONITES!) and the other is just ignored) even allowing that it's close to winter. Worse, while the government is trying to kill everyone when a scientist pops up trying to help save lives he has to deal with more distrust than is warranted and one of the kids is actively trying to kill him.These are also the worst conspiracy people ever. When the Minister and the Obligatory Evil Pharmaceutical company are told that someone has evidence of their attempted massacre, they brush him off. Worse, when they are caught the OEPC actually goes ahead and sends their virus to the general population six months after the fact, apparently figuring no one would put it together.Outside of the acting there is nothing to recommend this series. Just avoid it at all costs!

Slabreche-266-372355 I really enjoyed this show and I wish they would do a 3rd season! I felt like I was watching a soap opera except the characters actually do things other than sleep with their best friend's lover!Actually, sex/love scenes are almost non-existent in this show unlike many other shows that try to maintain viewer's interest by including those types of scenes.I really got attached to the actor's characters and after watching the entire series I actually started watching it again from the beginning to be reminded of who was who again. The idea of a virus that kills and has no cure yet (not sure if this a spoiler or not that is why I tick marked the spoiler box), this idea is really not that far fetched and neither is the idea that the government would rather kill only a few hundreds in order reduce the risk of spreading the virus it makes total sense. The fact that some people become selfish whereas others would rather share equally when food is rationed is also very realistic. It shows the true nature of people.Unlike some other movies/shows (which I did enjoy), the virus does not turn you into a mutant/monster, rather it kills certain people (more realistic that is why I compare it to a soap opera) I really like the realistic aspect of the show.What kept me watching is the fact that you never know what is going to happen to the characters, some make it to the end some don't, will a well proved cure be developed, if so what will happen to the people if and when they get to leave? How do they create a new life for themselves after leaving and living in a new place? What happens to their health and immune system? Do they become immune to all diseases? There is s much potential for a 3rd season!
