Awful show - mainly due to a complete lack of a credible screenplay. Some of the actors are just bad while others (notably Berry) struggle to play the roles and scripts they've been given. And the further we go the more jumps we have to make to get over the holes, not in the plot, but in the unnatural way the characters interact and respond. I give it 1 point for production it's a diamond in a cowpat.

Refreshingly different to other sci-fi dramas out there. Credit to the creators, especially the writers as they have built something tight that can't collapse as do so many dramas. The premise, outrageous but simple, is now established. What is really fascinating is the number of avenues for exploration - family and society drama, sci-fi and big brother, coming of age and sexuality, it's all in there and if the writers are careful this could run for many series yet. And all this with zombies...sorry, Partially Dead Syndrome sufferers.

Production and acting of the highest quality cannot cover the flimsy concept and cut-and-paste script. This is exactly the role that Berry does well (see, Cloud Atlas) if it weren't for the awful screenplay. I was looking for something in the X-Files, Fringe bracket but this one just adds to the growing pile of generic sci-fi/sci-fantasy out there. Where are the good creators these days - Spielberg who?
