Did anyone catch the first two episodes last night? It deals with the first opening hours of a virus outbreak. I didn't know anything about it until this morning and watched the two-parter debut. I might give it a try because my Friday nights are generally open with regards to TV shows.

I'm a sucker for a good virus/zombie outbreak show. It was an unusually slow pilot for me though. The second episode flowed a lot better than the pilot. I'm going to stick with it and see how it gets going. I don't know if I'm going to like it if the entire show takes place in the facility they're in. This thing needs to get out into the general public for it to keep going imo.

Watched the first three episodes last night and they were pretty good. I'll stick with it for a little while.

Last three episodes have been faster paced and we are starting to learn a lot more.

I don't know but it reminded me of Futurama. One thing we do know is that those frozen monkeys wasn't dead! :yikes:

I wasn't surprised when they screamed honestly. Just like Peter coming back from brain death.

Well that episode was interesting.

So are we possibly looking at a human eating tree? Is that why he was cutting up the bodies, to feed to the tree?

I liked the first season. Didn't care at all about the amount of time that passed before the 2nd.

Now that it's been cancelled, I'll probably never finish watching the 2nd season.

No surprise here. The season 2 finale seemed to be written like a series finale, at least the very end scene. It started off great in the first season I thought. Season 2 was just so weird and so different from the first season. They had roughly 1.38 million through season 1 and during season 2 they hemorrhaged viewers like mad. Season 2 finale had .44 million viewers.
