I was so impressed with the trailer that seemed to set up a interesting story.


A lot of this just does not make sense, and when there are people who show up, the dialog is so horrendously bad. Even the main character's inner monologue is ridiculous.

One thing that really, really, got on my nerves was when the main character is speeding down the highway and finds a dog, he never cares for the dog. The first thing he should have shown should have been "Ish", the main character's name is Isherwood if you can believe that, giving the dog water. And then you never see him ever feed the dog?

I don't like the characters, and there seems to not be very much realistic about how this would take place, but one thing that rang true was the rats.

Maybe I'm crazy but my first priority after finding a routine to feed and shelter myself in a situation like that would be to look for other people and build a tribe or community if possible, certainly not hightail it off the Vegas.

I subscribed to MGM or whatever it was to watch thing ... I got a weeks free access. I really do not know if I want to continue to watch this, especially having to wait week by week for the episodes to drop, and then you never know it there is going to be a second or more seasons, and you have to wait a year for that.

If this seems interesting to you as it did to me, then watch it, but I can't really recommend it. At least right now I can't.
