The Passage

We, as viewers, how many times do we need to be ignored and played with our feelings? Almost constantly?!

The Passage was a bright and interesting series, full of future for at least 3 potential seasons, with intelligent plot and storyline, captivating soundtrack and awesome acting by most of the cast, especially, Amy, Fanning and Shauna.

We could have borne with the small 10 episodes (16 episodes would have been much better), had the writers, producers and Fox decided to give it a go for a second more interesting season; but that?! Cancellation?!

Sometimes, the frustration and sadness are heavier than merely writing a page of needless review for such a good series. I will stop here and let posterity be the judge.

Fox has truly poor executives in place.

I want to record my huge protests here for the abrupt cancellation, without any hint, of this series that promised a lot. To leave everything in the air, with several arches to be expanded, is equivalent to me to a stab in the back of the best friend. Series on FOX, from now on, live never again !!

The only people bashing this show seem to be people who have read the books. As someone who has not read the books (didn't even know they existed until recently) I thought it was very interesting. I might even go as far as to say that it's the only show on network tv that I am interested in at all.

I'm in the second camp. Had no idea what this show was about or that it was even based on books, and I really have enjoyed the first 5 episodes so far. Have never seen a good vampire TV series, and this seems like it's got just enough to keep things on topic, but not to scare off folks like me who thought True Blood was trash, and there was that one on SyFy that was OK, for like three episodes, but it somehow lasted years. I just hope it doesn't go the path of so many other great series that premiered on Fox that were never given a second season, even when they'd have been stars at any other network. Fox loves to cancel good shows, so I guess we'll see.

I'm still not sure what the first season or even the next episode holds, but I'm definitely going to be watching for as long as it's on the air (hopefully that's at least more than one season).

I've read the books and loved them, but I'm open to watching a tv adaptation. Some people are expecting this programme to be in some way a direct correlation with the book. That's not what an adaptation is anyway. I've read all the Outlander books but still love the show which does digress from the books. Hopefully this series will be an interesting representation of the Novel! I've watch the first episode and it's a solid 8. If it hold my interest I shall amend my rating 😊
