This show is very differently written. I can't wait to see each new episode.

I love this show! The chemistry between Michael Sheen and Tom Payne is off the Charts, not to mention Lou Diamond Phillips, and Bellamy Young! This Cast is Outstanding, and the premise for this show is so unlike what’s out there right now. II love this show!

I have not been so enthusiastic about a TV show since Hannibal. Hope this runs for several seasons, as the characters provide plenty of potential.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of my FAVORITE shows on TV!
Disturbing and funny (kinda like my fam. - ssshhh...), with great, strong characters.
I followed Tom Payne over to this show from Walking Dead (Jesus, you're missed over there!), but stayed for the family dynamics and backstory.
... One of the episodes' opening scene with a bomb and Malcolm jumping out an upper-floor window... Keep re-watching that! So fun!… Expand

I was excited to watch this show because I liked the premise and some of the actors. It was a complete let down. Horrible writing, horrible script, and the worst is the horrible acting! Ainsley reporting the news made me cringe every time.I was excited to watch this show because I liked the premise and some of the actors. It was a complete let down. Horrible writing, horrible script, and the worst is the horrible acting! Ainsley reporting the news made me cringe every time. How was she casted? The only good acting is from Lou D. P. and Sheen. The rest of the main cast is also bad/subpar.

I'm surprised this got renewed for a second season.

UPDATE*
Just finished the series and the last 2 episodes are good enough to change my mind a little. It also made me realize that one of the biggest problem of this show is how long it is. It should be a 10-12 episodes series, not 20. Too much fluff in between. My opinion on the bad acting still stands.… Expand
