Default Revolution - New Series This Fall

Check out the trailer of the upcoming show on NBC this fall. Looks really good if your into post apocalyptic kinda thing.

I'd probably watch it if wasn't on a network. I can't remember the last network drama I enjoyed.

While I'm sure it's going to be horrible, I will give it a shot.

Few things.

1. Gustavo Fring!
2. Chicago Cubs 2012 World Series Champions ... immersion broken
3. Can't trust network TV to get involved in a new series again, they just don't commit.

Their clothing looks really clean fresh and newly manufactured. Wouldn't they be wearing rags after 15 years due to no clothing factories.

Or did everyone become an expert in leather fasion and using foot peddled sewing machines.

I remember The Event had a pretty sick trailer in the summer before it flopped.

Hard to trust network shows these days. I will give this one a look because Favreau and Abrams are attached.

Based on the trailer I have big doubts this will be any good.

But The Event was great. Stupid networks cancelling good shows.

I can't comment on the show as a whole as I stopped watching it after about 6 episodes, but those 6 episodes were beyond terrible. I heard it does get interesting near the end, but if you can't get an audience early on because of terrible acting, bad story lines, etc. then your show is doomed to fail.

This show will last a season then become cancelled.

Well, this thread isn't about The Event, but I disagree on every point you mentioned about it. I liked the story, had no issue with the acting and it did get better and better.

There were hit and miss parts about the Event. But on the whole, I thought it was pretty average.

I gave it a good go, maybe 10-12 episodes, but found it to be a bit of a chore to watch so when that happens, I usually stop.
