Boston Herald
The pilot, directed by co--executive producer Jon Favreau ("Iron Man"), poses numerous questions, and to the credit of everyone involved, delivers some surprising payoffs that other shows would hold for weeks, if not seasons.

It's worth giving Revolution a shot for its surprising imagery (wait till you see what's become of the Gateway Arch in an early scene), strong adult characters and fascinating possibilities.

Dans cette série de merde à la con, aucune crédibilité, pas le moindre réalisme malgré le postulat de départ qui semblait intrigant… mais qui fait pschiiit très vite ! On a donc ici surtout des violons, de la guimauve, des lieux communs, des **** cons et des petites connes… mais aussi des incohérences par brouettes entières. J’ai reconnu l’acteur qui incarnait l’effrayant Gustavo Fring dans Breaking Bad : c’est bien le seul vrai acteur du lot mais il erre inutilement parmi une bande d’imbéciles impeccablement vêtus et bien coiffés sortis d’une publicité pour un déodorant. Dans un monde revenu d’un coup au ‘Moyen Age’, c’est très impressionnant !…

Does that make sense? If not, well, Revolution doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's a lot of fun.

A cool premise can only take a show so far, and there's some work to do on the character front to make the show worthy of using all available technology not to miss.

While this is a lot of plot to deliver in one episode, Revolution manages it efficiently. But still, it doesn't feel very special.

It's not quite so bad that you lose all hope, some of the images and performances are memorable, and it's not inconceivable that future episodes could pique my interest again. But for now I'd put it in the "wait and see" column, without enthusiasm.

On the bright side, no one is in danger of having to watch this inert action show.

This Show was produced during the hight of covid in 2020 and has lost all credibility of even being called a dramatized historical documentary.
