Dreadful. Where to start describing it?

“This thing is bad on so many levels. It’s I sat through 1.5 episodes of macho white males shooting guns. Perhaps it improved in latter episodes, but that was enough to illustrate the chasm of difference between my expectations and the creators’ vision. Life’s too short.
Let’s start with the sexism. Beside one token female Sargent getting bossed around and a hysterical woman crying about her son, women were not represented. In Episode 2, one of the children from episode 1 begs her older brother (natch) to tell the story that occurred in Episode 1. Re-enter the bossy dudes yelling frantic commands & gunfire. Absolutely NO character development. Worse, all the characters sound the same, and they’re all frantic, so it’s impossible to tell who’s who.
If the sexism, endless gunfire and yelling white dudes weren’t enough, the whole premise seems to be that some US 2nd amendment, anti-government freaks rebel against perceived government oppression and some new constitution, charter of rights & freedoms, or whatever is hinted at over the gunfight. It’s every confederate flag waving conspiracy theorist’s wet dream. All it did for me was make my eyes roll.
What’s really ugly about it is the statement in Episode 2 that this violent takeover somehow became a worldwide event, which is just more American narcissism and ignorance. In truth, the whole world would just stand by and shake their heads (and yeah, roll their eyes, too).
I think this whole thing would have been better as a cheap comic book for 9 year-old white boys, although I’d rather mine were reading something less shallow, sexist & jingoistic.”

The plot is fine. I have no problem there. The voice...”Read full review »

“Shows over now, but was hopeful to stumble upon something I missed that might be good. Just move on. Audio is generally bad, acting is ok, storyline is all over the place. Much better options out there.”
