Hoping for better and expecting worse. The premise is good though hardly original but there the good part ends. I have to wonder if after watching the finished product the creators looked at each other and said " Hey this is some good stuff ". They must have because somehow this is now a tv show.. the sets look like they were filmed at a high school, the acting and CGI are subpar but not awful. Where the show truly fails is the characters. Remember the pilot of Lost and TWD where you were quickly invested in the characters? Definitely not here. Nobody stands out . I guarantee that after this you'll never hear from 80% of these actors again. A couple veteran actors would have gone a long way but nope; just a bunch of uninteresting faces. A strong lead would have helped too. The characters are not particularly whiny and a couple worked well together but I don't remember a single name. Will be flabbergasted if this gets a second season.
