I really loved this series overall. The acting is excellent, the plot is winding and clever, and much of it is quite funny. I was consistently drawn in, entertained, and curious what would happen next.The ride does, however, become a bit bumpy towards the end. The problems are mainly related in some way to religion, both in an utterly nonsensical conspiracy and in some overt supernatural elements that are hinted at throughout the series but are ramped up far too much in the latter part.Then there's the end, which is both predictable and unsatisfying. Even though this was a miniseries, it's clear that the intention was to have a second season, so they left a mystery unanswered one or two threads loose. This would have been unsatisfying even if a second season were coming, but it's not, which makes it *super* annoying. (Hopefully at some point the developers will give an interview and fill in the blanks.)If not for the ending, I would have given this a 9 rating instead of an 8. But I've seen far more frustrating finales, so I didn't feel the ending entirely ruined the series; it just made it weaker than it should have been.

It's too good to stop and whoever wrote it is definitely smart enough to keep it going. Not many dramas can include so many genres done so well, make them interlink so well plus make each show an improvement on the preceding one. There's political, romantic, dramatic, humour, science fiction, religious, scenic, scientific, glamour, sociological and psychological and all done brilliantly. You just don't know what's coming next. Plus it's a tough call to pick who's the standout actor, most of the leads are equally brilliant. Just an excellent production. One last thing, as well as sophisticated and imaginative it's earthy, plus even incorrect, the racist, the soldier and the clergy are painted with sympathy. It's great.

I've seen the first couple episodes of what seems to be a joint American-UK doomsday comedy. I was expected more along the lines of last year's hit, "The Last Man On Earth", and while it's quite a bit different from that show, I'm finding myself enthralled in this so far. It's not like TLMOE with it's constant humor; contains much more subtle comedy like a lot of British shows/films do. So is Rob Lowe doing two shows now-?? (along with "The Grinder")

This is a series about the end of life on Earth because of a meteor that concludes (?) in 10 episodes.It is basically a satire. The sort of use of humor that has lots of irony, exaggeration, while tries to ridicule, to expose and criticize people's stupidity and vices, politics and of course religion. It has some (maybe) funny moments, but it is black comedy, sometimes even gritty.It tries to mix too many elements though which, especially in the 10th and final episode where the supernatural becomes more apparent, make the whole series ludicrous.I don't want to spoil you but you will not get IMO a satisfying conclusion. You will hope for more, during the course of the show, but I think you will end-up empty handed, or maybe holding the "usual" last scene twist in such sort of movies or TV-series.The cast is capable and the direction adequate but there are things to be desired.Overall: I don't regret for the 10 42-minutes episodes I watched in 2 days, but the conclusion could have been with more substance and not going for the twist-y easy way out.
