I punched myself in the face for watching the pilot

I've heard from folks who stuck through the season that it did indeed get better.

Not hard to do though, as it was a s**t pile for the first 4 weeks I endured. I can ignore a lot of stupid plot and backstory stuff, but the acting was worse than junior high theatre.

About halfway through it got better, the acting of some people is still painful. But they did a better job of giving those people less lines.

I think it got better because the blonde girls lines got drastically cut.

Started watching this on Netflix. I'm on episode 5; holy crap this is a cheesefest. The premise is good enough but good lord the acting and dialogue are horrid. Some of the main cast are ok, but most of the minor cast are terrible and they have some SyFy movie level bad extras.

I didn't make it past episode 4, though.

And it's been mentioned but these guys all look pretty good for people living in an apocalypse. They could try just a little harder to make them look not so "pretty".

I also don't think the characters can be one dimensional or cliche enough. The main good guy is the "tortured, hesitant anti-hero" who always has a witty remark and a cool pose after he cuts someone up; and they might as well give the main bad guy a Dr. Evil laugh.

I can't believe this show survived. Someone at the network has waaaaaaay too much power.

Reminds me of the Pontiac Aztek. Everydambody knew that it was hideous, overpriced, and poorly built, but they stuck it out anyway.

Whatever happened to Pontiac?

I think it's just more proof how bad NBC is right now. This same show wouldn't have lasted half a season on any other network other than the CW.

I'm watching it strictly for the cheesiness and bad acting. My brother and I used to go see the worst movie we could find every week in theaters, and this show helps to make up for not being able to do that as often.

Ok, I'm on about episode 12 now, and a couple of things:

1) Whoever was saying the show/acting gets better, you have a very strange definition of "better". The acting and story is just as bad as it's ever been.

2) NBC must really be hurting for this to get renewed. The ratings were actually not all that great. The pilot got about an 11.6, but by the end of the season the ratings were down to a 6.0. That would have gotten it cancelled on any other network.

If your own Episode 12 then you have 12 episodes to go and it does get better. I didn't originally watch the show till early this summer after I had DVRed all of last season. I originally didn't think it was all that great either. (I kept comparing it to the Walking Dead and how it would have been done on that show.)

Yet by the end of the season I was hooked.


It hits Blu-ray & DVD Tuesday! I saw where Target has an exclusive where it includes a replica pendant from the show! :good!:

I wouldn't call this a great show by any means. If it got cancelled a month into the season we'd all probably not be too upset about it. It's decent enough to watch each week and I do watch it, it just has some really corny story lines and acting at times. Tossing the antagonist (the black guy) back and forth between good and evil sides is ridiculous and should have never happened. That alone made the writers look not all that brilliant.

I don't think it makes the writers look bad in any way. It just shows that he's for whoever is going to win the war, or where he can get the most power. Not much else.

Plus, its an excuse to see Gus not dead.

Regardless of his motives nobody would put up with him especially after he tortured/tried to kill them multiple times.
