I would even go so far as to say that 15 years is quite a long time to get things back up and running with alternative resources like steam power. It also seems like there is a lot of the writing that would imply the power just recently went out. The guy who worked for Google has a few. Looking at him I would say he is in 40s; which means in his adult life the world has been without power longer than it was with power. Yet he mentions not being able to travel without GPS; immediately mentions iPhone by brand name when seeing one for the first time in probably years.
My other concern is that this could easily turn into a "Pro-USA" type of show; as they already refer to the people loyal to the United States as rebels and terrorists.
I also don't get why the person in the flashback from a week after the event was "so hungry" already. The food supplies couldn't have disappeared that quickly; not to the point where one man in a suit and tie would resort to kidnapping to get food.
Edit- just to be clear; I do like the show to a certain extent and I like the premise. I just wish they could do more with what they have.
