[QUOTE="Deset Gled, post: 6020906, member: 7808"] Well, I tried to see past the previews and decided to give this show a chance, because the premise was legitimately interesting. Unfortunately, I was very unimpressed. I simply cannot understand the inconsistencies in the world they're trying to portray. For example, why is the elite army squad sent after the main characters using swords, crossbows, and muskets? Guns were made by hand far before electricity was commonly used in manufacturing. Heck, automatic guns date back to the Civil War. If they're using front-loading guns, lack of powder can't be an issue (because those are highly inefficient). And from the look of all the brand new, high quality swords, metalworking must still be a prime business. I can understand that "civilians" wouldn't have access to all this, but surely the capability still exists. On a related note, why is the leader of the largest militia living in a canvas tent? Where are the simple, non-electric motors? Where did nerd-guy store his ACDC t-shirt so that it would be in perfect condition 15 years later? Why is the main character wearing a midriff shirt, and where does she buy her (plainly visible) modern shaping bras? Looking past all that stuff, I can am capable of enjoying a good story even if it's in a bad setting. But this, so far, has not been that story. The plot is not particularly interesting, innovative, or unpredictable. I'm not really invested in any of the characters, and I sure as heck am not invested in yet another TV show with a mysterious premise that shows little hope of the mystery ever being revealed. And it's not campy enough to enjoy the silliness. At this point, I think my plan for this show is to wait til the end of the season and check out how it's doing next spring. If it shows signs of improvement and has good enough ratings to propel it into a second year it may be worth another shot. [/QUOTE]
