Revival

I loved the show...so far, that is. It had thrills and some unexpected things going on; however, my other half came into the room and said, "So Wynonna became the sheriff?" If you're going to do a show like this...you may want to get different actors that haven't played in some other show that is somewhat similar. To tell the truth though Melanie Scrofano wasn't recognizable to me. I guess some people remember faces better than others. But, the same thing somewhat happened when we watched SurrealEstate...I didn't realize that Tim Rozon was the same guy that played Doc Holliday, which is weird when they make them look so different.

Found this boring perhaps because this plot has been done before,with a slight storyline that varies wrapped in mysteries.

The cast and acting was average,you didn't care or like anyone & the cinematography was drab.

Was clichéd & plotholes.. I realize you shouldn't judge a series by one episode,but it should hook you enough to come back.. Was the reveal finding out a sibling was dead,really cliffhanger worthy? No! Even showing what's to come on the season,didn't have me sitting on the edge of my seat.

I mean yawn! A single mom that seems stuck in a small town,with a chip on her shoulder & parent or sibling issues.

Unless the storylines each episode become intriguing,don't feel this will make my weekly watch list.

If you like this type of television genre to watch check it out,otherwise find something else to invest in.. Examples: Glitch or Travelers.

On a final note: People mention 4400 & how this one doesn't compare,that show didn't deal with dead but those who disappeared returning.. So,not exactly accurate.

This show is great! The writing, acting and directing is spot on. I am a huge fan of the Walking Dead, any zombie movie or show so I have seen a lot of zombies. The premise is interesting and I feel like it really hasn't been done. The main actress does a great job at maintaining and keeping the show interesting. Many of the actors I would not know however they all do such a great job in the show!! I found out about this show from one of the actors, Lenore Zann who is great. She mentioned she was filming it last year. If you like zombies, or just a very interesting show watch this. I really hope it gets renewed for further seasons!!!

The introduction of the show left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't like any of the characters. The writing was really inconsistent and tonally all over the place. One minute we're supposed to be taking a scene seriously and the next everyone is cracking joke that don't land. If you're going to write a show about zombies or 'revivers', you need to pick a lane. Either have fun with it and lean into it or take it seriously and lean into that, but cracking jokes after something the show clearly wants you to take seriously, just leaves me feeling confused. How can I take it seriously, if the characters don't?

I'm sure a show like this will find an audience, but I am not that audience. And if I'm being honest, I hated The Walking Dead. After I realized it was nothing but a giant idiot plot, I never made it past the third episode, so take that as you will. Having idiots as characters isn't necessarily bad, in and of itself, but the idiot's motives and action have to actually make some sort of sense.

Good writing advice I've heard before: if your character is urgently driving somewhere and you need them to not make it in time, don't have them stop for a burger, instead have them break the speed limit and get pulled over for it. Both are mistakes, but the latter is understandable and consistent with their motivation, while the former is just stupid.

While there were a few moments during the show that led me to glance at my phone due to some slower scenes, this is a common experience for most viewers. Overall, my excitement to see local landscapes, as the series was filmed in my hometown, kept my interest alive. The acting was superb, and the production quality stood out, showcasing a strong commitment to excellence. The first episode concluded with a cliffhanger that, while somewhat predictable, has left me eager to discover how the plot will unfold. I am truly looking forward to watching the remainder of the season, as the initial impressions have been very positive. Despite a few dull patches, I believe the overall experience is definitely worth the watch, and I can't wait to see where the story takes us in the episodes to come.
