So I was looking forward to this and it was a great idea...but I am having trouble holding my attention. It's slow. Really slow. There's an episode where they are (this might be considered a spoiler--so PLEASE stop if you consider very minor things a spoiler!) heading into a radiation storm and have minutes left and the guy who can rescue them is walking so slow to where he needs to go he could almost be walking backward. There was no sense of urgency at all. So if that fast parts are slow, imagine how slow the slow parts are.... What REALLY hurts the show is Brad Carter as John Stokes. He is quite simply one of the worst actors I've ever seen in my entire life and I'm no pup. I have seen grade school productions where the acting was better. He overacts so terribly that he keeps jerking me out of the show and I go and do a crossword puzzle or something. Just not sure I can watch the whole show. But it was a cool idea!
