Who wrote that description? No where in the pilot do we find out that

Well, this is set to record tonight, but I worry because none of these "mystery" shows have caught on with me yet. This one looks pretty good so Ill give it a shot.

I'm surprised not one review I've read has mentioned how similar this is to the book Alas, Babylon. It's literally the same exact story. Have the creators of the show made any reference to the fact that the show is loosely based on the book?

Would you believe that this show is debuting on Australian TV on basically the same day !
That has gotta be a first. Normally it takes weeks if not months for new TV shows to hit Australian TV

Wasn't really gonna watch it.... but caught it going through the guide and didn't see anything else on, so I started watching at the beginning and got intrigued right away. I'll give it a shot.

Interesting premise....totally unremarkable pilot. To term it so-so seems a stretch. It seems this show's getting far too much slack due solely to said premise. Based purely on content, this actually bodered on tedious. The not so kind reviews I read seem spot on after this viewing.

I liked the pilot quite a bit...weird seeing George Hearst not being a total motherfucker. I think the premise is very cool and the execution for the most part was pretty good...a few awkward scenes (like when the Sheriff goes to the wrong Bus and that kid raids the grocery store and hits the road) but the main cast is good and the story is intriguing...and the use of both The Killers and Snow Patrol in the pilot gets a thumbs up from me.
One question, what the hell was on the road at the end? My HD feed was a little dark - did her tires melt off or something??

I thought it was good overall. Living in Kansas I was a bit concerned how they might portray small town Kansas, but felt they did a good job. They seemed to show small-town dynamics well. Other than the fact it is impossible to see the Rocky Mountains from Kansas, they seemed to do a good job of accuracy. It has potential. I will give it a try for a while.
