    It's absolutely terrible, honestly.

    Bratty teenage female lead character who you feel nothing towards and hardly anything happens in each episode.

    Avoid it.

    Watched the first 4 episodes then dropped out, which is very unusual for me, once I start a series I usually watch until the end of it even if I stop enjoying it; the last 14 shows of the 3rd series of 24 being a case I remember.

    The premise is interesting, but the regression in 15(?) years is not believable; for example, why would everyone start wearing leather tunics, that they would have to intensively farm and treat when there would still be loads of clothes in shops? None of the characters are believable or 3 dimensional enough to sustain any interest in them. I couldn't care if any of them survive or not. The show is all fur coat and no knickers.

    I've been watching it. Not because its good, but for the sheer ludicrous storylines and the shameful acting of some of the lead characters! There are some hilarious reviews of the show on denofgeek.com by a guy who clearly doesn't want to watch it but has to so he can make the review. He was proper balled off when they commissioned it for another series!

    I watched about 8 episodes (downloaded them before it even started on Sky 1) - didn't feel anything for any of the characters, there's no-one to root for and I was actually hoping the female lead character would get her head chopped off and maybe change the direction of the show.

    I can't believe people still watch it to be honest, it's truly dire.

    There's a whole raft of television programmes coming over from America at the moment that are really good
    I think it started with True Blood a few years ago and now there are programmes such as Elimentry, Arrow, the one with the Alphas - the list just goes on and on..........most of them are so well made that its like watching a feature film
    Watched another one for the list last neet.........Banshee
    Top of the class must be Game of Thrones tho

    Once I watch more than a couple of episodes of something I usually persevere to the end. I am losing interest rapidly with this, but not quite ready to switch off. Although it just appears to be a long drawn-out road movie without cars or roads.

    Rarely does my perseverance pay off and I have sat through some crap (Prison Break season 3/4 springs to mind).

    It really bad that the 3 big sci-fi shows that have started on satellite this year have all been crap though (Revolution, Defiance and Continuum).
