    I like post-apocalyptic movies from time to time and that short series was really nice choice with some fine shots of a part of the city shrouded in tarps covering buildings, as well as monstrous venring systems and military zones. Some scenes were too much like from a crazy drug-user nightmare but I guess it was meant to be like that. I have a low tolerance for spinning or flashing images so that was only my personal problem that left me with a slight head-ache :) The story is well told, with a pretty decent explanation of everything, so there is no feeling of a "what?!" at the end. Acting also left nothing more to wish for, it was good.

    I just wanted to say that this was very good. I don't mind waiting. I write this to plead with producers to pick this up and make more of it. It is certainly better than a lot of the stuff out there in the last year. I know this is from 2015. I still think it is better than a lot of what has been happening from Netflix and Amazon lately. Come on, keep the story going. If not, thanks for the show anyway. Cool concept.

    This show, to me, feels like a dark and serious version of Misfits. Now, that might not sound like a bad thing. After all, Misfits is one of my favourite shows, plus they share one of the main actors. And Iwan Rheon really is a good actor. The thing is though that Misfits was never meant to be taken completely serious. Take the humor of Misfits away and you truly have a terrible show. Residue does nothing to change that fact. It's at least as over the top as Misfits is but takes itself 100% serious. Now, I know what some of you are thinking. Why are you comparing to different shows in stead of just reviewing Residue as a standalone show as it is meant to be? The similar style and premise just makes it impossible to do so. Take or leave this as you like, but only after making up my mind about Residue and writing this review in my head, only after that I read that Residue and Misfits share more then just an actor. Apparently they share a director as well in Alex Garcia Lopez. Coincidently I watched the first episode of Utopia this week, also by that director, and again I see the same style. Luckily the story is a lot different though. Still too serious for it's own good, just like Residue.

    Absolutely loved this. It is visually stunning, dark and beautiful. There is a slowness to the episodes which adds to a sense of dark mystery, almost creepiness. Each episode takes you on a journey into an elegant kind of fear and foreboding. I was very sorry to learn there were only three episodes. I would definitely like to see where this mystery is going.The mood and the tone of the show are excellent. The acting was superb. All in all I can't wait to see more.I would be very disappointed if this show was canceled. Also I think a bit of advertising would have helped.I was very surprised it just popped up with no previous pr.
