    There’s nothing innovative about this project, but its commitment to fleet storytelling and a game cast take it far.

    We’ll be curious to see what the second half of the season delivers, but its uneven presentation thus far, torn between grounded and outlandish, fails to give a proper platform to its stars (even if they manage to squeeze in moments on their own).

    If Shut Eye had the foresight to focus on Linda (KaDee Strickland), it might have avoided turning into a meandering muddle of subplots. [9 Dec 2016, p.57]

Walking dead has plenty and so did shows like True Blood and Banshee! They had plenty, but they are not formulaic and predictable like so many others. Neither is Shut Eye.

This show is so much fun! There are some issues, but I think they will be cleared up in time, if it receives a second season. There are obvious comparisons to Breaking Bad, which also took some time to get into it's groove, but I absolutely see this as binge candy!… Full Review »
