Seemed pretty meh, I can see it getting the axe after 1st season like Terra Nova for the same reasons. But still...will watch because Sci-Fi and better then the sitcoms/reality crap that plague TV everyone seems to love.

-Only 2-4 semi decent interesting characters the rest were bad/unlikable ect ect.
-Seemed stupidly obvious who the two mains were going to hook up with in the town. Mayor for guy / Black deputy guy for chick (did not bother to remember names)
-Main plot story? Seemed kinda weak, but they did not really get into it. The whole "two wanders come to town and end up saving the day, then proceed to stay and solve crimes and mysteries" seems done to death.

They don't really explain how this all got started in the first place. Earth gets invaded by Votans? the things they fight at the end I guess? Yet there are like 9 different alien races there? I don't get it or missed something.

The video game covers a lot of the back story and is meant to be played a long with the show.

Actually quite good, though there's work to be done with the game itself.

I like the concept. Sci-fi shows are cool.

This seems like a terrible idea and nothing more then a cash grab.

Combining two different mediums into one universe that play off each other is actually a great idea.

Yea, a cool idea for the few with interest to do both, but that is going to be quite low compared to people who just want to watch the show.

I didn't like it.

Like OP said, felt like Terra Nova. If they're gonna go with big budget shows like that, they need to be written by people who know what the fuck they're doing.

Even though it's not your typical Holocaust movie, it was pretty boring. Daniel Craig's performance is bad, it makes his Bond performances look stellar.
