I honestly didn't trust myself to make it through all 130 episodes of this webseries. Because even though they were barely just snippets of 2-4 mins a piece, the entire series mostly consisted of narrations that required one's full attention to really get the hang of. And seriously, who pays that much attention to anything these days?
But I made it! I can't say I enjoyed every moment of it (I fell asleep at some points and had to re-watch a couple episodes), but in its entirety, this was a surprisingly compelling series. It's been all sorts of an inspiring, frustrating, heartbreaking ride as the series protagonist, Russell Shoemaker, struggled through the roughest, toughest, deadliest bumps on the road despite only having the slimmest promise of reuniting with his wife and daughter after 99% of the world's population got wiped out in a global catastrophe dubbed as The Fall. He met some interesting and often memorable characters along the way, each of whom led him to eventually let go of his fears, his natural inhibition to get involved, and finally discover who he was, and who he could still be once he learned to look beyond the boundaries of his own personal welfare.
But while he did uncover the truth behind The Fall, the final episode still left questions that sent me scrambling through the internet looking for a Season 2. Too bad none was ever released. I really do believe it has earned it. :(
