I can't help but like it. The fact that it's a post-apocalyptic story and it ISN'T another reality show is good enough for me.
Yeah, I think it has potential. But I'm cautious about getting too involved with any new show. It seems that most of the weird or off-beat shows that have tried to take the place of "Lost" have lasted only one season.
I am afraid to watch this show based on the previews and ads promoting it. I am a huge fan of the book series it is "loosely based on", the Emeberverse series by S. M. Sterling. The show seems to be too much a bastardization of the original series, I can't imagine I will like it.
I had no idea that it was based on a series of books. I have to agree that it is usually a bad thing when one has read and enjoyed the books.The only thing worse is when they do a "reimagining" of an old TV series, like they did several years back with The Night Stalker. That totally blew.
I tried to watch "the Dresden Files" both before and after reading the books and in that case found the TV series equally unwatchable. The first time cause I didn't think it was that good and afterwards because they had wondered so far from the source material (and it hadn't gotten any better either)
