There is a ridiculous amount of self-justification about liking the show going on, in this thread and in general. Almost every person who "likes" it, is quick to point out how they think the premise makes absolutely no sense, but then follow that up with, "... but it's so cool, let's see what they do to explain it." That implies that the writers planned this bizarre setup, in order to give the viewer an explanation for these issues in later episodes.
I don't know how someone can have make the criticisms about the show many are making and then turn around and say it's a good show. If the writers base the show in our physical universe, electricity can't disappear. It is possible to knock out electricity temporarily, and ruin electrical devices with something similar to an EMP. But electricity doesn't disappear forever, it exists all around us, not just in things we plug into the wall. It's a plot hole, from bad writing.
And that doesn't even factor in how apparently none of the survivors are aware of anything that happened in the world prior to electrical technology. Combustion works, because bullets work. Steam power works, because... well because it does. But no one on the entire planet is aware of this. I guess there was a global conference for people with working brains around the time of the incident and they were all in planes when the electricity went out. All the smart people are dead.
Maybe that's the explanation! This show is about what would happen if only stupid people survived. It's Idiocracy with swords!! :)

xLite - no, hold on.
"Just because we haven't invented it today doesn't make it a plot hole if its invented within the boundaries of the story."
Just because we haven't invented it yet?
A small reminder, electricity is around us, in us, is part of us- it is the essence of our being! Without electricity there would be no humanity and yet in Revolution people are doing just fine.
Then, they consume food in Revolution, do you know what bees are? Living creatures. Living creatures need energy/electricty, so their bodies can work and fulfil a certain purpose.
In Revolution there are birds. Birds need electromagnetic fields, without it they go crazy. I haven't noticed any crazy birds in Revolution.
In Revolution people live on Earth, ever heard of gravity or kinetic energy? Energy is /indirectly/ electricity. Then there is a sun, probably worm holes and other stuff you no little about.
Yea, I agree with you, it's Science-fiction... but, the genre does not justify a bad script.
Note to hollyweird - THIS is how you do a show with NO virtue signaling, NO SJW-Preaching, & NO agenda prompting. Just a great show with a great cast and awesome storytelling for entertainment value, period! If only all of hollyweird could/would GET this simple concept.
Tyler Sheridan just keeps bringing in the hits. His Urban-Western storytelling is on fire right now.

@archangell This show has as much virtue signaling, preaching and agenda prompting as any other show.
It's just more in line with your personal beliefs. That's why it doesn't bother you.

@archangell Or this can be your thing. And those shows can be their thing. And everybody gets to watch what they want.
Nobody has to dictate what gets made. Just watch what you enjoy. Politics is not needed here.
Very ignorant propaganda. Painful to watch.
