Positively gripping from the start. Great storyline, likable characters, and just the right amount of sci-fi (enough to be somewhat believable).
There is however, one criticism. Half way through the season, they introduced too many 'Baddies' (none of whom knew who they were working for and why) which can become slightly off putting as the story can seem repetitive. For example, Alda Hertzog, who seemed to be a key suspect, flitted in and out of just 5 episodes. Hellinger, who seemed to be accountable for the blackout, also appeared quite briefly in five episodes. Hellinger didn't feature enough times in the season for us to create any emotion involving his character. I also think Frost deserved a better developed character background.
So was the blackout just an experiment to prove that no matter how you try and change your course in life, you will still always return to your designated path? Or was it something greater than that
It's still, overall a very good show. I did think half way through, how could they possibly create a second series from this? But after seeing the ending, I am truly disappointed that there isn't a second season to look forward to.
It's a recommended watch!
