I've only seen the pilot (first episode) so far. The premise is good. And I've seen Natalie Zea in other things. She was good.
The special effects were good enough in the first episode if the acting and writing were good. But the acting was bad. And the writing was stupid.
We've all seen this erroneous formula before in horror and/or scifi. There is enough drama and conflict in the plot. There is no need to lay an annoying soap opera on top of it. Already in the first episode they are unrealistically cramming too many eccentric characters into the show. I've been stuck with a group of strangers before. Even in an emergency. Normal people don't act like these characters are acting. It's unrealistic, formulaic and boring.
The situation these characters find themselves in is challenging enough. But it looks like the writers are trying to set up melodramatic subplots based on flawed characters, with troubled back stories. Or just plain bad people with evil motivations.
At the end of the pilot three characters raid an ambulance for medical supplies. Then what I imagine is supposed to be a saber tooth tiger appears. The Natalie Zea character says, "Run". They all do it. Why not just lock themselves in the ambulance? That is what normal people of normal intelligence would do. Do they really think they can outrun a saber tooth tiger? Stupid.
Many TV shows start out weak and get better. Maybe this will also. But so far it's disappointing.

I have only seen the pilot but have recorded the other episodes and will watch later on. So far I think it was ok, quite a bit better then some shows so time will tell if I will keep watching.

Ok I have watched all 5 episodes. So far I like the show, better acting in the other episodes and I like the plot so far. I guess we will see with the rest of the season.
