For sure that I didn't laugh all the time with You, me and The Apocalypse, even though I was expecting that since it was described as humor on IMDb. But it didn't really matter to me because I was basically hooked on the show after the very first episode. After all who doesn't like an end-of-the-world scenario? You're immediately wondering how this will end and the only way to know is to watch it until the end. And that's what I did. I devoured the first season in a couple of days. I wonder if there will be a second season though. To me they could add one more season and I will gladly watch it. The different characters are a delight to watch. Almost every stereotype passes the revue. The story has enough good twists to keep you entertained all the time. Why people would hate this show is something I can't understand. I sometimes wonder what those people like themselves.
... View MoreI'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")
... View MoreStarting with what i liked: The acting was good, most of the actors were really good and did their part well, there are some noticeable exceptions but overall well acted. Some of the jokes were good also, some hidden humor that is gritty and sometimes hard to catch.What i didn't like: The writing, it was very poorly written, often seemed as though the writers wrote something and then made a turn without really thinking of the consequences. Some of the characters come of as unbelievable.This whole thing reeks of Christian propaganda, disregarding the obvious prophecy girl and water parting magic things the fact that seconds after the first person in the whole show claims to be an "atheist" he kills his best friend because he has no use for him anymore. And the coolest characters and most handsome are the priest and the nun, this is all subconscious manipulation to make religion the "cool" thing and atheism out as pointless and evil.I also feel that the measures taken to divert or destroy the comet were seriously weak, obviously we would not send one missile, we would send many and calculate the forces needed to divert its course, and the president couldn't just lie that it worked because those 27 scientists are not the only ones with telescopes and trajectory calculations, every major space agency in the world would know, like the Russian and Chinese.
... View MoreThe show follows a handful of group of people a few days before an announced apocalypse. The stories have ups and down and are a bit boring, except the "religious" one that I found intriguing.Overall the show was promising : the general idiocy and nonsense was bearable, resulting in a generally good entertainment. But they had to ruin it in a fated moment where criminal stupidity is used as a lever for the plot, several times in one episode (I'll explain in a paragraph).In summary this is not the worst I ever seen and if you have high resistance to unbelievable, weak, idiotic plots with their share of holes, you may still enjoy it.Spoiler about what I mean follows:It happens the day where the survival of humanity is put in the balance, just a few days before everyone is expected to die in case of failure. a cop basically tells one of the protagonist trying to save the world: "0K, I'll let you save the world but first you have to tell me where your criminal sister is" (the girl is basically a nobody). And puts him in jail when the guy does not talk. This is wrong on so many level : the general behavior of the characters, the priorities of everybody, the fact that important people for the future of the human species are not guarded 24/7 because anything could put said future in jeopardy (virus, car accident, food poisoning, stupid cops, maniac wanting to kill the last hope, ...)And the "geniuses" tasked to save the world are passing for clowns : only an idiot would measure time not only from a central clock but worse : in a unit affected by time savings.On another hand, something a bit like that has happened a few years ago. A rocket has been lost (self-destructed) because of units incompatibilities between parts of the machine (Imperial vs Metric).
