Revival

I saw that Seeley was involved with this title and I loved his work on the comic Hack/Slash. When I realized this was an adaptation of a comic he worked on after that I went and checked out the first few issues to get a better idea of what was being adapted.

After finishing episode one of the show and seeing the weird changes they made, I am far less excited because I doubt this will see a season 2.

The comic handled each and every event in a far better and more intelligent way. The entire end of episode 1 feels like a Temu low budget version of those events compared to the comic counterpart.

The central characters are so much unlike their far more interesting comic book counterparts it makes very little sense. I thought when watching the show that maybe the comic just didn't flesh them out very well. The comic gave them terrific character moments and dynamic moments that explore their personalities the director just cut out.

Syfy, you had The Magicians, you are capable of better than this. Please, give us adaptations that aren't this soulless.

Found this boring perhaps because this plot has been done before,with a slight storyline that varies wrapped in mysteries.

The cast and acting was average,you didn't care or like anyone & the cinematography was drab.

Was clichéd & plotholes.. I realize you shouldn't judge a series by one episode,but it should hook you enough to come back.. Was the reveal finding out a sibling was dead,really cliffhanger worthy? No! Even showing what's to come on the season,didn't have me sitting on the edge of my seat.

I mean yawn! A single mom that seems stuck in a small town,with a chip on her shoulder & parent or sibling issues.

Unless the storylines each episode become intriguing,don't feel this will make my weekly watch list.

If you like this type of television genre to watch check it out,otherwise find something else to invest in.. Examples: Glitch or Travelers.

On a final note: People mention 4400 & how this one doesn't compare,that show didn't deal with dead but those who disappeared returning.. So,not exactly accurate.

While there were a few moments during the show that led me to glance at my phone due to some slower scenes, this is a common experience for most viewers. Overall, my excitement to see local landscapes, as the series was filmed in my hometown, kept my interest alive. The acting was superb, and the production quality stood out, showcasing a strong commitment to excellence. The first episode concluded with a cliffhanger that, while somewhat predictable, has left me eager to discover how the plot will unfold. I am truly looking forward to watching the remainder of the season, as the initial impressions have been very positive. Despite a few dull patches, I believe the overall experience is definitely worth the watch, and I can't wait to see where the story takes us in the episodes to come.

Wow....not great start...but as a fan of Glitch (The base ripoff of this series) I will stick around and see how it goes.

Love the scify of it and also the whole setup of NOT zombies but "real people"

Hope the base is great and story makes sense.

Why do I need to give so much information in a review. Is this back to school of create a paper about people who were dead and now are alive?

I hope the core of this is good and the whole murder part is merged within the story so that it makes sense vs just a side quest plot that has nothing to do with the actual story plot and is just a filler... like this text here.

15 min in. And not getting better....

Never mind that it would be impossible for embalmed corpses to crawl out of graves. And how did that little girl break through her coffin and six foot of dirt? Kill Bill style, without a scratch? And wearing freshly laundered clothes?

Okay, it's a semi zombie story and none of those make sense anyway, it's the horrific amateur hour acting and production that makes this unwatchable. SYFY should be shut down, it's a national disgrace. Third world countries with better production standards than SYFY:

• Liberia
• South Sudan
• Malawi
• Central African Republic
• Solomon Islands
• Nepal
• Kyrgyz Republic.
