1BebaRivera . I spend a whole entire day watching both season 1 & 2. I became very upset and disappointed to find out that this show was canceled after the second season. I don't understand why it was a very good show I am not really into watching shows and this is one of the reasons why.. I am hungry for more you can't just end the series like that there has to be some sort of ending. I got hooked and had I known it got canceled I would of never watched it. Total disappointment... Please bring this show back.. I really want to know how this would have ended. I even got my husband hooked on the show and he was furious when we found out the show was canceled. I know you might be thinking it's not that serious it was just a show, well your right it was just a show. But nowadays you can' t find a good show to watch. And this show was really good. Things that can happy in real life. Please bring it back or at least end it the right way..
stuguy909 Tips for surviving the end of civilization: 1) Be prepared, if not, get weapons IMMEDIATELY! 2) Setup security and/or defensive positions, keep up look outs 24/7 3) Have an escape plan, and a fall back plan in case you must flee 3) Stockpile water and provisions 4) If not already gotten, get survival gear (blankets, tents, torches, matches) 4) Scout / Scavenge / Travel at night 5) If in a small group, STAY TOGETHER 6) Increase numbers primarily to bolster defense and scavenge capability 7) Limit your movement in the day-time, unless farming or raising animals. Darkness is your friend, unless it is cold...then attack someone while they are sleeping by the fire.Survivors made me angry. These people were blessed to wake up and not have to worry about taxes, corrupt government, and the daily grind of society. As an American, I dream of zombie apocalypse and end of the world scenarios. These idiots constantly make horrible decisions, put themselves in danger, lose friends to unarmed goons, isolate themselves in broad daylight, whine about their own gun when bad guys constantly hold them under duress, and listen to stupid women who know nothing about survival and self defense. Don't forget, let every bad guy go only to have the same thugs show up again and again like some Saturday morning children's cartoon show.As for the personalities. The doctor is unbelievable. The black guy had rage and domestic violence on his rap-sheet, but he is a total kitten in the later story. Abby is a stupid fat lady. The blonde is a dumb useless woman good for only making babies, she plays her role well. Al is useless, the 11 year old boy is annoying, and the only reason why I watched this show is because I was waiting for the ex-con to actually make good on his murder tendencies, and I was disappointed! I stopped watching this crap when the black guy gets caught trying to bust out the ex-con and Al ran like a scared school girl running from a child predator. There is no season 3, so there is no point continuing to waste my time with this crap. I see now why the show was cancelled.Then the whole vaccine secret organization bit. That made absolutely no sense. Do the writers not know how vaccines are synthesized? Goons running around town mugging survivors as test subjects? Seriously? I would have raided a police station and shot those retards and stolen all of their stuff. Then I would have followed the helicopter and stolen that too. Unbelievable.
Crankgorilla I watched this with no preconceptions of what to expect. So during the first few episodes I was wondering how far would they push the horror of the scenario. It's not too scary, but adequate plot twists and a decent script hold the entertainment value here. As it stands, it is enjoyable and well worth watching. Have an apocalyptic night in and prepare to be fascinated. The sets and environment painted draws you into a horrible situation filled with plenty of dead people and abandoned stuff littering the cityscape which in turn paints a backdrop to the story better than some feature movies. The characters are believable and interesting and by the final episode I'd become quite attached to them. I really liked this series, I found myself watching season one on DVD in one sitting, each episode drawing me to the next.But they should have added some flies. They had the sounds. But no actual flies. Some maggots would have been "nice" for effect. Maybe some pets gone bad, monging down on people. Some eye pecking birds? Birds just love pecking on eyes. Maybe some more insight into animals and their reaction to all the people dropping dead would have been a "horrible" addition? Also, despite all the danger, there is a serious lack of guns in this series. The main bad guy walks around with a double barrel shotgun and none of his cronies nor the main characters think to attain some guns for themselves. Oh, and there is a lot of bitching about the lack of electricity. Apparently nobody in England has ever heard of a generator. Or solar power.If you can get past these and other plot holes, there is an entertaining watch here. It's not all bad. They just needed a bit more violence, gore and situations to make it more dangerous and realistic. The writers hands were probably tied by modern censorship I imagine.
Tovia Myles This show has topped my list as one of my favorites. The story line is playing out very realistically. This is one of those shows that you can sit down and make a marathon. Its watchable back to back from episode one to the last. Its everything the TV show Jericho should have been. It has very strong character representation in terms of personality and growth. I'm just now finishing up season one. I can't wait to see what is next. I totally buy into all of the leading male characters and Abby's character. Tom and Greg are so sexy. Najid was a great supporting character. He really helped to add an element of child like purity and lightness to the vibe of the show.
