Liked the pilot. I can see myself watching this among other 50+ shows. Pacing will be the key element here. The story is interesting to me, the characters not so much... but I will stay positive
Not a bad start. Has promise but the best part is the casting for Tanz. Santiago Cabrerra is a fine actor with lots of range and depth. However that could easily be wasted on this show. Hard to tell just yet.
I gotta say I find Jillian to be annoying and dense. She actually brings down the plot.
Not unwatchable, the acting is decent for primetime network TV, the premise is solid enough to keep me invested for a couple more to see where they are going with this.
Good start, though they almost dropped the ball at the very end by quoting Mother Teresa as an exemplary humanitarian.
Other than that slight error in judgement, this could still be a good sci-fi show.
Excited to see if that's gonna be an interesting one!
Very intriguing. Hope it continues and has an ending.
Other than the fast-burning "love" between Liam and Jillian and how dumb they made her character for not realizing that Liam technically spelled the secret out for her, it was an awesome start for the show.
What a catastrophic event and people trying to do something, I like, Where is Harry Stamper when you need it (Amageddon)?
Very concerned about the acting. Premise is good. Production value is what you can expect from a network show, so some stuff looks cheap. But it does not bother me too much as long as the story keeps me interested and does not sway too much into personal crap like the relationship between Grace and Harris or even more so between Harris and his moron activist son. Stay on target!
This show is SO destined to FAIL!!!
A lot of "end of the world" tv shows. The past month finished "No Tomorrow" and now this. No tomorrow got cancelled before telling the big story, now if this gets cancelled too then we should be worried about our lives . Just a heads up! U can never be too careful about ur own life
Very bad. Cheesy. Embarrassing really.
I stumbled on this when going through what was playing OTA and it's not bad so far.

Especially when it comes to network television, there tends to be an inverse relationship between the number of writers credited for a script and the quality of the final product. It's a cooks and broth thing. This pilot had six writers and did not buck the trend. There's a lot of potential in a story like this, but they had to go and pad it with stuff that will only hurt the pacing. The biggest problem is Grace, the communications gal, who is given two really stupid reasons for being relevant in all of this. First there's her Pentagon pal who says that he wants her there to manage the news about things, but if your intent is to bury the story and kill anyone who finds out (speaking of, I don't know what happened to the professor, but what purpose was served by trashing his place like that?), then why do you need a communications person if you have no intention of communicating? And on the other side of things, Elon Musk Jr. wants Grace on his team...because he doesn't have any good Pentagon contacts who can keep him informed? Seriously? Even though he's Elon Musk Jr. and is based ten minutes outside of DC? In any case, I had to chuckle that they doubled down on Grace's (presumably) non-technical background by having her daughter writing out her commencement address longhand. Elsewhere, Jillian, the sci-fi writing gal pal of our MIT student, is apparently too dense to see through his hypothetical scenario and questions. That takes some real talent on the cluelessness front. One other thing and I'll stop being so negative: the satellite imagery of the exploding rocket. First, we don't have that sort of precise overhead monitoring of the entire country, so why would they have it for this "burn test" if they want to keep the test as hush-hush as possible? It seems to me that it would be pretty easy to have that satellite looking elsewhere at that particular moment. Or, barring that, to seriously limit the availability of any footage to night-shift employees around town. Oh, well. I'll be back, but I'll probably be fast-forwarding through anything involving Grace and her daughter and any scenes with Jillian. And I'll be hoping that they still plan to introduce at least one female character who's smart, technically oriented, relevant for the right reasons, and not clueless. Because I didn't meet her in the pilot.
