The After

There are countless worthless projects from unknown creators, which are green-lit for TV and are presented to the public with the expectation that they will thrive, only to be a let-down.

Here, Amazon had Chris Carter at the Helm of what would have been 99 episodes of Dante's Divine Comedy, which if anyone needs reminding, is widely recognized as THE pre-eminent piece in Italian literature and one of the greatest literary works ever, WORLDWIDE. The fact that ultimately, the series was not completed - due in major part to Amazon, it would seem - is an utter shame.

The pilot, although flawed in some ways (the gangster Latinos were a bit much) was EXCELLENT for the most part, and if the last few minutes were any indication of what this show would have been, Amazon made a big mistake by shutting it down. HUGE.

It was a real shame that this Show didn't go to a Series. It was an excellent Pilot Episode that kept me watching throughout. The mystery and tension were well handled and the realisation that the World was going to change considerably for the survivors after Today was right in your face. All the Actors did well in their roles and the effects and story were solid. Its sad that Chris Carter doesn't command the same power he once did and Amazon were not willing to take a risk as this could well have put Chris Carter back where he belongs and given Amazon a hit show. Now a few Years later, maybe its time Amazon had another look at this missed Gem, and considered a reboot.

I just watched the pilot of the series and I was very surprised..I had low expectations since I read somewhere that this was an Amazon production and that so far not big channels were interested to show it. But I can say that I enjoyed it a lot..it was really well done made..the story has a lot of mystery,(something you expect from the creator of X-files) and the characters are very interesting. This show has very big potential to be a great mystery/thriller big hit of the year..It reminds you a little bit Walking dead/ Lost/ X- files..I really hope they will get a whole season and see more what is going to happen with the "breakout" ..Well done John Carter.

First thing I noticed (and something I've seen other reviewers mention) is the writing and dialog seem a little too formulaic and contrived. But if you stick it out through the first episode I guarantee it's worth it. I was afraid that this show was going to be a little too similar to Revolution or Lost, but it's definitely going to be able to hold its own. What sparked my interest in checking this show out was that it was created by Chris Carter who also did The X-Files--one of my all time favorite shows. If you're a fan of The X-Files, too, then you MUST watch The After. It may not seem to hold up just quite yet too it's sister show, but if Amazon airs an entire first season The After may wind up surprising us. Amazon would be foolish to not pick this show up for a full season.

The new Amazon original pilot for "The after" is out now. I don't know whether the show will get a green signal or not but I certainly hope it does. The X-files creator Chris Carter is the creator of this show. The Pilot is really intriguing..acting department requires polishing.The story has not been revealed much or I should say the Plot hasn't Been revealed much Till the last 15 minutes of the show.Build-up is pretty Good and the "creature" is really creepy.Expect this show to have high Skin quotient,violence,gore and whatever MA is certified for. Give this one a try U will surely enjoy it. Highly recommended for its plot,screenplay and direction.
