It's on Netflix now. Give it a watch.


Ignore the bad reviews that obsess about the technical deficiencies ... this is one heck of an entertaining TV show.

It's been compared to Lost, and I can see that in some regards, but there is none of the spiritual voodoo stuff that Lost descended into toward the end. El Barco remained true to a somewhat realistic, albeit fantastical, interpretation of what earth would be like had it experienced the extinction-level-event catastrophe it did in the show.

OK, so they seemed to have a never-ending supply of food, medicine, makeup, clothes, etc. Who cares? It's a fictional TV show, not a documentary.

My only complaint is that they tried to wrap up a whole never-produced Season 4 in the last episode of Season 3. They didn't quite pull it off, leaving way too many unanswered questions and unresolved sub-plots.
