Aftermath

Look the only reason why ill give this show a chance its because two reason,first the last season i followed "Hunters" and i dunno before i realized i want to drop the show it was too late i was then in the 7/8 episode so i went all the way and at the end that show was at the most a solid 5 so if i went thru that why not thru this? besides its promessing or at least more than it was hunters so im staying lol, and the second reason is there are at least two or three shows of SyFy that im having a really hard time to find online starting with dominion so ina certain way i don't wanna miss a "potencial" show that this channel could offed u know? Some good Points in this first episode -The teenagers actor are really cute especially the blonde guy -Alot to explain so a good team of writers could make a good juice of it

If i could just ask to improve one thing will be the photography i mean get a really good secuences of the ambient.

Another thing i found interesting is that at least four shows that i am gonna stick with this season are just getting six epidodes and are a lot more better and promessing than this one and yet this is getting 13 lol... But oh well...Im stayin :D sorry for bad English

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.

Unfortunately Syfy has opted to put on shows written by people that apparently don't know much about writing - specifically continuity, plot devices, story progression, and any number of other things that actually make for good writing.

This show, much like Syfy's Van Helsing, features a very unbelievable former military character along with poor characterization that changes moment to moment - in ONE episode. For example, in an episode one of the daughters goes from being full of hope and gung-ho about another character's odds of survival, but not even 10 minutes later is saying that there is no hope at all for another character. The entire thing just comes across as unbelievably stupid, but that is par for the course in this series.

Amanda Tapping apparently helms this show and several others on Syfy, and it seems to me that they've given her license, but not creative license... This show, like many of their newest entries, all suffer from the same tropes, poor characterization, poor writing, and overall poor presentation. The effects aren't bad for low budget television, but the writing is sub-par at best.

EDIT: based on the first 3 episodes

This seems to be more of a religious gun fetish wet dream than any kind of serious story. Mostly interesting to watch to see how some part of humanity might think - after all this is no Harry Potter and some folks actually believe this to be reality, which adds a fun twist. Those folks just need to learn how things in reality work - for example that you can not talk back on the announcing system of a supermarket in the parking lot.

And damn - the righteous in the series certainly turn into killers in no time and are able to predict the future.

EDIT: below old review based on first episode

Is it all unbelievable non-sense ... yeah, it is based on the bible so what do people expect? Scientific reasoning?

But it makes for an interesting setup to tell more survival stories with a lot of diversity. And the bible does have plenty of different angles to explore to make for interesting fantasy.

This is based on just the first episode and so no idea where they will take it, but the setup is solid. If you are okay with slow-ass zombies in the Walking Dead somehow beating the militaries of the world, then this is easy to swallow too.

Will keep watching! Hope the stories will match the whole setup.

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.
