The true star of the show is Saniyya Sidney. The 12-year-old actress performs with a maturity well beyond her years. Sidney is funny, sarcastic and tough. She and Gosselaar have an authentic father/daughter chemistry.

The Passage may not reach the grandiose and tragic heights of Cronin’s books, but it has the potential to be equally satisfying: It’s pragmatic, aggressive, and most of all, present.

Is The Passage presented by Fox as good as it would be if it were on FX or HBO? No. But is it better than 95 percent of the other broadcast dramas that have hit the airwaves in the past 18 months? Yes, and just because it's trying to be better than adequate.

It's a slow road to apocalypse in the absorbing, if derivative, opening chapters of this Stephen King wannabe based on the epic horror trilogy by Justin Cronin. [21 Jan - 3 Feb 2019, p.13]

The Passage teases a disaster on an even grander scale yet backtracks several times over in its first three episodes and still manages to rush its most crucial relationship.

Ive read the first two books of Justin Cronin's apocalyptic vampire trilogy, and this is a fair (okay, but not great) adaptation of it. There are major changes overall, like the main character of Amy, who's ethnicity and age have been changed- in the book she's just a little blond girl of 6, very much a child with no personality- yet in the series she's a streetwise 10 year old and I guess it works better since she is a stronger character in it. The addition of the dream sequences is also a big change from the book. Season 1 in fact just really covers the first half of book 1, which starts the apocalypse. Everything is explained beforehand, and the main baddie is already introduced here (he doesnt appear in person or is even identified until book 3, so they mixed up a lot of plots form all three books). The actress who plays Amy is in fact the best actor in the whole series. Wolgast (who is played by Zack from Saved by the Bell) is pretty lousy (he still acts the same even after he got shot in one episode), as is the other adults in the show. All in all, a "passable" adaptation I guess.
