Omg - seriously - I watched 2 minutes of pilots beginning then fast forwarded to end - this was beyond bad, predictable and fully lacking in anything - when confronted with these types of shows - I am often quoted as saying don't ask questions, let the art flow - disregard the nonsensical lack of science and physics - just eat your popcorn - But this is a big But the last minute 45 made me want to perhaps speed through one more episode to see if it improved - the one saving grace might be David Lyons - i only knew him from that cheesy love story - safe haven ( i actually had to look that title up) he is perfectly cast as evil...so watch with zero expectations then no disappointment is possible - well except maybe having wasted 45 minutes

I have watched revolution twice, and both times I was gutted when I got to the end of season 2 knowing that there wasn't going to be a season 3. There is action, adventure, humour, great story lines. think I prefer season 2 to season 1 as the characters are more developed, particularly Sebastian as you see a completely different side to him. Charlie was annoying through the whole thing, as well as her mother, but there are usually those characters that you hate in a show. I know that Revolution has got some bad reviews on here, particularly about the realism and I do agree that it is unrealistic to expect the characters to have perfect hair, make-up etc while in these situations but if you can get past that then Revolution can be an interesting, engaging and imaginative series. Some people are complaining about the logic of the programme, but, it is science fiction, it is not a documentary. You watch it to be entertained, not to pick holes in it. Revolution had excellent potential and it is a real shame that it was not renewed for a 3rd season.

Thought it would be as good as Lost series:I just started watching Revolution on Netflix and I thought it would be as good as the Lost series since it has the same writers and producers but so far I am so disappointed! The story line is good. The actors are great. Recognize Jacob from Lost? Okay..some of the actors aren't that good but you can ignore those but most are worth watching. So whats wrong? The outrageous action scenes! They are laughable and frankly embarrassing, unrealistic and corny! I'll keep watching in the hopes that it gets better but I won't get my hopes up.Those corny action scenes. What a huge turn off.

This show has the formulaic mark of a J.J. Abrams piece, with lots of flashbacks (think: "Lost") revealing the back stories of every character, showing us why they've become the cold blooded killer appears to be the only key to survival in the world that's portrayed. It has an enormous cast list, mainly because most of the cast are essentially canon fodder to be eliminated shortly along the way. This is possibly the most kill-crazy show on television. At least in the "Walking Dead" most of the people being killed are already dead. Billy Burke's lead character is mostly being dragged along for a ride that he finds extremely unpleasant. Tracy Spiridakos' 'Charlie' portrays someone who turns into one of the most unpleasant creatures around (she kills with a smile). Giancarlo Esposito gets to briefly exhibit a wide range of expressive talent, but finally becomes so 'bad' that he comes off as a caricature of himself. Zak Orth as the bumbling computer geek Aaron Pittman is the single interesting character who exhibits any real warmth as he gets to reveal parts of the subplot (also a familiar J.J. Abrams trope) involving mysterious nanites. David Lyons adds a bit of life to the ensemble as someone who actually exhibits feelings while Elizabeth Mitchell plays Rachel Matheson as kind of a weirdly detached sociopath. Like the show "Lost" I wasn't able to make it past the middle of the second season, when I realized that I really didn't like or care about a any of these people. The only characters even mildly interesting were effectively buried among the heaps of accumulating corpses. And I certainly wasn't about to sit through watching more of their pasts revealed, until I sometimes think I'm watching a show in reverse. A waste of good talent and some pretty good production values on a show that has an interesting premise and does very little with it.
