Omg, some of the other reviews on here must work for the production company: their glowing comparisons to star trek and tom cruise made me gag, almost as much as the acting of the players in this show. This was just so much garbage acting, garbage plot, garbage everything. First, the acting: cringeworthy. The villain was so overacted, patterned after a nasally brit, that never makes you think villain so much as bumbling keystone cop. The lead actor, and I use the term loosely, is more of a self important millennial reject from the 80's, all moody and angst ridden. He supposedly has "powers", but never actually tries to explore them, or use them. He's often more concerned with his lame love life than actual people's lives. The story just plods along, at a snails pace, along the thinnest of premise: really, the people are so stupid as to believe the sun actually went supernova, but didn't destroy the earth? Give me a fkn break.
I felt no connection with the characters. I really didn't care if they got caught, or not. It was clear that no one would actually die, so whether or not they "found" the sun didn't really matter. The nazi ss references were heavy, and the self importance of angsty teens over stuck in the mud "adults" was pushed beyond anyone's belief threshold. That any of these actors was able to find work after this cringefest is remarkable. For the other reviewers, who promised such grand things for this series, and for the shining future of it's actors, I guess time has shown just how lame your reviews actually were, and how stunted the careers of it's "promising actors" actually were. smdh
