Aftermath

This show is not perfect i'll agree. The first episode was quite bad. However, I decided to go ahead and watch another and to my surprise it did get better. This show is not supposed to be our "normal" zombies and is not about a disease outbreak from what I can tell. I would say this show is more supernatural than anything and I actually look forward to seeing the next episode. I'm not saying it should be rated a 10 or even an 8 but it is certainly better than a 4. Some characters are quite good while other are pretty poor. The story is actually pretty interesting and definitely not what I expected. When I started this show I thought it was going to be another outbreak zombie flick ( which is what was looking for). However it is not really about zombies at all, like the first episode leads you to believe. If you are into the supernatural or the biblical apocalypses I suggest you give this show a chance.

70% of the reviews I have seen for this show are bad and make the show seem like a complete rubbish, but I actually like the shows idea and storyline. It's sad that it ended only after 1 season, I would have loved to see more of it. But the acting.. ugh, okay yes, some of the main actors are honestly terrible. It was a horrible job from Julia Sarah Stone (Dana) and Levi Meaden (Matt). I wouldn't say that the others were perfect, but at least they made the acting believable and didn't made me facepalm every time they came on screen. The only one from the young actors who was actually good was Taylor Hickson (Brianna). So the acting is yeah pretty bad, idea and storyline are actually interesting, but the events and problems seemed to solve pretty much always at the end on the episode, so that made it a bit boring and frustrating.

Any show which explores the idea of time travel or something similar always intrigues me. I wasn't looking at the cgi so much, was interested in the story. What i didn't like is the stupid characters, people making stupid decisions, and these were many. Creates unnecessary plot which diverts from the main story. Just feels like lazy writing

BUT I had to come here to see if anyone else had a problem with a 28 year old dating a 15 year old. I think that the comments about Anne Heche are pretty accurate and the writing, etc.

I knew I watched it before but figured I'd watch it again and now I'm scratching my head. It wasn't HORRIBLE but just wow.

Still if you are interested in wasting a little time, give it a go.

LOL

Many other posters have described just how bad it is so I won't bother recapping things. Just accept it -- it's really, really bad.

But... it's so bad that it's funny in a Mystery Science Theatre 3000 sort of way. You just have to sit back and try to imagine which direction the next silly plot fork will go. Will the family really be stupid enough to do what the plot is leading them towards, or will they show some rare sign of above-70-IQ intelligence? Oh, it looks like the "smart" daughter is going to say something... how many different physical laws will her pronouncement violate? Oh boy, a big nasty is coming towards "mom"... will she waste it, reason with it, or run away. It really doesn't matter what happens, the chances are good that it will make no sense and lead to laughter along the lines of, "Who gave these people money to make this?" and "Maybe I can get in on the gravy train?"
