so i was talking to some friends about what would happen if all electricity went out cause of a nuclear exploitation and anther said it was like this TV show Jericho so i checked it out...
the concept is cool but from one episode i dont really know where they are going to take it so i can only tell you what i thought of this one episode i watched.
Just from the first episode i can see there may be some problems with it for one thing the camera angles and movement really bugged me it was really amateur, cropping peoples heads, things moving in the way of the shot like doors and what not it just piss me off it a bit.
The acting isn't terrible but the lead character from the moment I saw him walked kinda made me uncomfortable maybe it was his jacket or maybe it was just how he held him self as a person (or should i say character) something about him maybe me think he was shady, nervous, and weak. which if you ask me isn't what you want in a hero. The script writing didn't help the actors ether, I'm not saying it was terrible or even too cheesey cause I like a bit of cheese there was even this great line in it where the main guy was like "when are you going to realise, im 32 now" and his dad goes "when you do" it was cheesey but appreciate. Its more that I felt like they thought the script was finished after like the 3rd draft or something the dialog was very "bare boned" didn't leave anything to the imagination.
The music score, well from the very start the music did not match the scene, for example at the end this girl is driving and hits something so she gets out of the car to find hundreds of dead crows on the road, (this is when she feels the need to say out loud "whats happening" even though shes by her self, now unless the writers thought that the demography of this show were retards there was no need for her to say anything) so im guessing the point of this scene was to show the impact of the explosion of the environment telling us that "this is a serious problem" but guess what song they chose of this? Snow Patrol Light Up which has no connection at all with the show i think they would have been better off just sticking to a music score, I think they were just trying to jump on the Trend Train and unless your a show like Happy Endings there is really no need to do that especially if your trying to deal with an issue like Nuclear terrorism or war what ever it turns out to be...
i have a lot of free time on my hands so I'm going to keep watching even though it was cancelled, they had enough fans to get it going for anther 7 episodes so there's gotta be something good about it, but still if you dont have a fuck load of time on your hands I wouldn't bother you might as well just wait for the new episodes of what ever show your already watching... speaking of the black guy at the beginning of the first season of the walking dead is in jericho and hes the only character i actually like, him and some social recluse but only because he used his head i fucking hate idiots!!!
