The Lottery

Formulaic bad guy. Big plot holes. OK acting. Big secretive government oversees the last children but yet doesn't provide financial support for the last remaining parents. The government agency that is supposed to insure these children's well-being is in fact hostile towards the Parents for no reason. Not very original. There was very little that was actually original in the script. The science is also really badly done. Like no one even checked on possible reasons this could happen to make it plausible The bad guy was almost a caricature. The lead actress is about 20 years too young to play a believable scientist. Everyone on her team is under 30. Not gonna watch episode 3.

Only reason why I give it a 5 is because I'm neutral. I'm one of those people who like to over think things and scream at shows and movies for the stupidity that they do. Like plastering Kyle as a criminal for taking his own child because he cares about him or the fact that (in my opinion) they're trying to restore what is pretty much wrong with this world. Sadly humans are the reasons for why the world is the way it is. But anyway, I agree with some of the other reviews especially the "Bad Science..." review their science is really off. Monkeys? Could have saw that one coming especially since they have already proved that monkeys are the closest thing to the human race. Should made it something way off and completely out there like tigers or something to make it a least a little bit more interesting. There are quite a few plot holes in it but hey I wanna see where the stupidity lands itself. I also still like to over think things like "why didn't they do this?" and "Why the hell would you do that?" It's like watching a horrible horror movie just to punch holes in it and come up with better ideas and plots; which I guess is why I continue to watch this show. We'll see if I log off from it or just continue to punch holes into it. Trust me I do not miss any good show to watch this. I watch it on demand.

What a boring, sparkles, horrible show. Writers without ideas, clues and knowhow. What a waste of time - mine and money - mine again. Went thru 4 episodes - monumental c..p - poop. The creators trying to do the sci-fi show without any effects, which is OK with me, but if the idea was more realism then they missed. It looks like author(s) have no damned idea what to do after first 30 minutes of the first episode. O, hell let's improvise and have a job for little while longer. Let's create mild characters, insane situations, little bit of blood, little bit of sex, weak and sociopathic politicians, strong female doctor and deus ex machine - black plague bacteria with empty insides - LOL. I like that body guard (secret service guy). I'm hoping there is only one season of this... show, please ! 1 star - for actors.

Clearly the writers of the Lottery have no medical consultant on this show about medical stuff. The Black Death was caused by a bacteria (Yersinia pestis) that causes the disease, plague.

Bacteria are not viruses, and this entire show is starting to sound just as unbelievable. It is starting to look like a Twilight Saga for middle aged women. As someone else said, it is becoming an overproduced soap opera in prime time.

Bring back Helix. It is more believable. Even The Strain is better written, and with great parasites. Too many specialty channels that don't make any sense - Lifetime being one of them. If I want some reality in my "Disease and Disaster" shows, I will continue to watch The Last Ship ... I will man up with Rhona Mitra any day.

TB or not TB. That is the congestion. Consumption be done about it. Of cough, of cough. (Woody Allen)
