Extinct

Sci-fi is one of my favorite genres, so I was looking forward to the release of this series. I approach this category with an eye to good special effects, interesting tech, and decent acting. I feel these bases are covered fairly well. I was actually surprised by the high quality of some of the FX. The actors all seem committed to their performances. I left off 2 stars because there's certainly room for improvement. Overall definitely worth watching and recommending to others.

I watched the episodes of Extinct available on BYU-TV on my Roku. The pilot was a bit weak, and had one moment in particular that was cringe inducing but the rest of it has been very good.

Matthew Bellows as Jax has definitely made the series better by being a believable villain.

Better than most of the garbage on the Sci-Fi network.

BYUTV cancelled this excellent show on a cliff hanger, telling us that they would explain why, but didn't bother. Another shabby treatment of viewers by a network. I would expect this from SyFy, but not a tiny network like BYUTV which needs all the viewers it can get. Shame on you!

I have watched the first two episodes of this show and it is off to a pretty strong start. It has a great premise and solid performances by the lead actors. Being that it's a BYUtv program the production values are not the highest but that's not a problem. Big budgets can only do so much for a show and will never save a badly made one. This show is well made. I look forward to seeing how the show continues.

Survival dramas and sci fi are two of my favourite genres and as a combination of these two I have to say I'm a big fan of this show. There are a few plot holes here and there, but given appropriate time these can be explained, hopefully it won't be cancelled before they can. So far the characters feel fairly authentic with a reasonable amount of unanswered questions to make the story seem compelling and worth exploring. The show obviously has a low budget yet they clearly seem to make the most of it, with a setting that doesn't rely too heavily on excessive special effects. It has a lot of potential, more than many shows in a first season
