The Passage

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.

The Passage trilogy is my favourite book series. In fact I'm listening to the first book on Audible which is a completely different experience itself. As far as the TV Series goes - it's fun. I would never have thought to make it that way myself (saw it more on AMC or FX or something) but it's zippy and fast and has its own heart so just sit back, relax, take it for what it is (different to the books) and it will all be ok.

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 !!

What a shame. I really liked the story and characters in The Passage. Nothing was ever predictable, and it offered up plenty of scares for network television. It's a shame shows like this get the axe after one short season, yet millions will tune in year after year for season 37 of CSI: El Paso, or another awful singing competition. Sigh.
