i be initially suck in . i be also a huge fan of post apocalyptic movie and show and and book . that be and until they try to treat radiation sickness with iodine off the shelf . i suppose the writer never even bother to check that out on any web page readily available on the subject . then come the rain fallout represent once it stop rain and everyone just go back to their field and harvest the highly contaminate food from the highly contaminated soil . alrighty then . they also lack any sort of military adviser give the way they handle every arm encounter . it wouldn not be so awful if the character do not consist of an ex army ranger and a mercenary and black ops member and and an fbi uber agent . while the acting be acceptable and the character in general and be cardboard cut out stereotype and with little depth or deviation from their assigned role . the woman in the story be simply window dress for the men and have no real voice or power . the men run the show and make all decision and while the woman in true 1950 fashion and support their men regardless of how many bad and ignorant decision they keep make . they simply hold down the fort and cook up food for the menfolk and and nurse the sick and all with perfect hair and makeup . on several occasion and they stupidly squander resource like when they have a giant town bbq with the meat so it doesn not spoil instead of smoking or salt cure it while or like light up the street light with the limited electric power they have . there also do not seem to be one short wave radio operator in town that can get a signal from even the close town . lastly and the unrealistic feel of the town be impossible to ignore . no major chain grocery . no real department store . one doctor in a town of 5000 people . it be a ridiculous attempt by the writer to portray a perfect middle america mayberry rfd town to appeal to the mass unfortunately and that kind of town hasn not exist in about 50 year if it ever do . i would suspect none of the writer have even drive through the midwest and if this be how they picture it . overall pas over this one . it star out with a good premise and and go downhill . how can one explain a show like firefly get cancel and this one stick . the be beyond me who would want to keep this show around enough to send the nut to cbs .
