The characters are simply there and so is the apocalypse. This show is a mess of sci-fi monsters of the week. With their three teen kids, Matt (Levi Meaden), Brianna (Taylor Hickson), and Dana (Julia Sarah Stone), they try to stay together and escape various dangers in their RV. The mother Karen Copeland (Anne Heche) is ex-military.
The father Joshua Copeland (James Tupper) is a cultural history professor. The world faces a seemingly endless number of calamities. The Copeland family finds themselves struggling to survive the end of the world. Every warning sign these guys get,they just completely ignore,and act like everything is normal. Which would've given any normal people a warning. Even though the guy is clearly insane,and infected buy the zombie decease Even before that, he showed clear signs of being totally insane. They talk to him like it's just a service they don't want,instead of shooting him. So they keep on doing one stupid thing after another, more or less pretending there's not something strange going on,that can't be rationalized away ***Warning spoiler Waring spoiler Waring spoiler warning spoilers**** When they pull in to a gas station,and a redneck start washing their windscreen with a window wiper,dripping with blood. After a hurricane hit their (farm? Don't see any animals CGI or otherwise,so not really sure what they live off) A family of 5 get attacked by zombies,but for some reason can't accept that the world has changed and more or less gone mad. Keep in mind I'm basing this on the pilot,but it will be an uphill battle from here on,to convince me,this is worth my time A hillbilly family with the combined IQ of 3 witness one strange event after another,yet can't seem to get a grip on reality. As it stands, avoid this mess and spend your time on something better.
Aftermath review syfy tv#
Had they gone down the comedy route, than this TV show might have made some sense. Some of the characters actions were so unbelievable that it felt almost like this is a parody show. Seriously, I was waiting for aliens, because that's pretty much the only thing left. It's like the writers couldn't settle for one challenge, so we get worlds largest hurricanes, fish and snakes and cars falling out of the sky, demon possessions, volcano eruptions, freezing oceans, flying people, zombies, earthquakes, mass paranoia, fires, food shortages. The amount of various disasters and strange events is so huge that the show feels like a disaster theme park. *** Mild spoilers ahead *** Watching the pilot is a very strange experience. The lack of realistic emotional reaction is so extreme you start wondering if maybe the main characters are losing their minds as well. Casting is poor and the characters are like card-board cutouts with zero common sense or natural reactions. It is beyond me why this mess was approved in the first place, but having seen the pilot, I'm really wondering who in their right mind OKed the script. Let's get one thing straight right away - this show is a disaster.
