The first season was borderline great despite a few cliches here and there but the second season tries to do way too much all at once. The result is a frustrating, uninteresting follow up to a promising first season. The constant flip flops, twists, and desperate character development left me wishing the asteroid would hit and put it all to an end.

I don't agree at all with all the critics of other reviewers: it's a very decent show, not as "sciency" as you would expect; there are lots of politics involved but the characters make sense, are pretty intelligent and the actors are quite convincing in carrying the tension and double-play of the multiple agencies and various protagonists.

It's well paced, interesting at every episode and not at all a frenzy of stupid mathy-jargon thrown at you like scorpion, which is utter bullsh*t for sure.

As I said, it's well written and seems to be going somewhere fast, which is kind of hard to find in a show nowadays so be content and stop complaining when something good comes your way! :D

The brutal truth: they have the budget, they have good actors, they don't have the right hooks nor the accurate science. But it's all about relationships and the spinning of chaos in the minds of the characters, the players, at the end of the world. It's about a counter-clock to salvation. Give it a try, maybe they find salvation

How often do we watch shows like The Walking Dead or Alien and quickly and easily dismiss the glaringly obvious mistakes regarding how "realistic" is? When I watch a movie or show, I figure I am in their world and anything is possible.

Salvation is no exception. I enjoy apocalyptic type shows and movies anyway, so when I saw previews for this I was already all in. Much to my happy surprise, it is also very reminiscent of 24, my favorite show ever.

So, I will keep this short and sweet. If you liked Jericho, 24, and Armageddon...you will probably like this. The acting is great, The chemistry between the actors is also great. The story line, considering the premise, is solid. I have been enjoying this show immensely. I hope there's a second season!

Season one was pretty much ok, but season two had too much going on. As if the upcoming Armageddon wasn't enough, they had to add so many elements to the series that at some points it felt like I was watching "Dynasty", with an asteroid threat. Stopped watching it at episode 3 of season 2, and read the plot of the remaining episodes online.

I lowered my season one rating from 8 to 6 because of what I've seen so far with season two,. Initially, I really enjoyed the concept and found it interesting. The acting, although not great, is passable for a B-level summer show. However, season two is way too much soap opera. I thought the show deserved to be renewed for a second season, but right now I am learning towards closing it out.

Please get season 3 of salvation. It's one heck of a series. Finished 2 seasons in 3 days.

Please get it back. Please.

If they cut out the entire character Jillian it would improve at least 1-2 stars.

Salvation is an interesting show with engaging characters and lots of plot twists. The writers need to avoid gratuitous violence (of which there has only been a little so far) and focus on the plot and developing the characters. I think some of the people who give it a low rating and lots of criticism just like to hear themselves bluster. I have a post-graduate education and don't watch much TV. So far, Salvation is a winner!

Well chosen actors play a story that doesn't make much sense, not only in technical, but also social aspects.

Characters lack common sense, US SECDEF behaves like a stereotypical cop, (he even runs around with a gun). Most of the world problems is gonna get solved by basically four people, plus a girlfriend.

Cliched beyond recognition, filled up with betrayal, murder, secrets, in such amounts, that you stop caring at some point, because in basically almost every episode there is a new major crisis or two, new betrayals, someone getting chased, arrested, tortured, released, arrested again.

I liked this pilot and will be back for episode 2. The MIT brainiac felt real: disheveled, impulsive, horny and fun. He teams up with an Elon Musk-type to advance his discovery of doom. The government bad guys are the kind of slick you love to hate. The government's press secretary seems stuck in the middle, but has a good heart that guides her true. I'm sure we'll meet new players.

First thing, this show is never about the earth and the asteroid. It's about how the two powerful nation US & Russia deals an extinction level of event on each other. Although half of the show are almost predictable, it still has many plot twist. With not so many good Sci-fi series out there, I think this show deliver an interesting Sci-fi drama.

Personal thought, I don't know why so claimed 'smartass' people gave bad review on almost every sci-fi TV? There are many good sci-fi shows canceled because of bad review from those 'smartass' people. I mean why don't we just enjoy the show and give some appreciation.

I truly don't agree with most reviews. I am a filmmaker by myself and I am very interested in science and astronomy. I do have pretty high standards in series and movies. People that are talking about cliché stuff, and maybe for all those reviewers, maybe our world is pretty cliché, or let's say America;). I do agree the story is not deep, but they made this series for a bigger audience which is not only the deep thinker. I like the conflicts, plots in the storyline. I think the casting and acting are great as well. Production en postproduction are clean. I truly hope there is a season 2 coming.

First, let's get an important aspect clarified: a lot of reviewers have been (excessively) critical of the scientific veracity behind this show. Yes, they are right, this is not a model of how humanity will divert a ELE capable asteroid.

What this is trying be be is an engaging piece of entertainment that is (1) not a cop drama, (2) not a medical drama, (3) not a who's sleeping with who drama. It has taken a media-popular scenario - asteroid heading toward Earth - and wrapped it in a well presented package with charismatic cast and good pacing. It is absolutely light in scientific accuracy, but - I'm not sure how to put this clearly - IT'S A TV SHOW!!!

There are some interesting characterisations and scripting so far has been tight with only a few 'off pace' moments. Yes, a lot of characters are heavy on stereotype, certainly more than we get in UK shows - but, again, this is an entertainment show. I watch it for my brain to go into neutral and coast along; if I want accuracy, I'll watch Discovery.

As with all good sci-fi - the real story is nothing to do with the tech - it's all about the people and how they react to a situation. The asteroid is simply a McGuffin that puts a shiny angle on the show...

...but season 2 has just descended into another generic American political show.

It could have been so much more. But so many plot holes in this makes it unwatchable.

I tried to ignore them but with every episode they get worse and worse. I'm afraid I'm going to call it quits half way through season one. Such a shame.

Before I go into my rant let me start by saying, this is pretty bloody brilliant. You think it's a doomsday programme, then you think it's a Washington coup de Tat show... but it's not, it's so much better. Not once did I not need to know more, not once did I doubt watching this show and I'm so god damn glad I did.

The cast is excellent, this is seriously underrated and why it didn't get the viewing figures I'll never know, maybe because people didn't stumble across like I did till early 2020 ( January 7th to be precise)

They left this in such a cliff hanger, and ending that with all the other twists I once in awhile had a suspicion, but this ending? This ending knocked me sideways! Blew me over with a feather! I didn't see ur coming.

Please please please give us a season 3! Don't leave this hanging the way it is. Even if you just end it...

PLEASE

I enjoyed the first season however this season is starting to annoy me quite a bit. The acting is good but the writing leaves much to be desired. The story line is predictable and all over the place at the same time. Will give it a bit more and then stop watching.

I'm only watching because my husband wants to watch it. When Liam, the midst of the crises wants to use Darius' helicopter to get his girlfriend. His girl friend is the love of his life even though they only met the week before. She is clearly the only girl he's only gone out with.

At this point I'm rooting for the asteroid, which can't get to Earth fast enough.

I watch TV for entertainment. If I wanted to watch only what could happen, I'd watch the Science channel. People, get over the fact that Salvation is just a story. Sit down, relax and watch what might happen if an asteroid was heading to earth. Now, on to Season 3..... I wonder what it is?????
