Storyline

Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future.

Quotes

Miles Matheson: We lived in an electric world. We relied on it for everything. And then the power went out. Everything stopped working. We weren't prepared. Fear and confusion lead to panic. The lucky ones made it out of the cities. The government collapsed. Militias took over, controlling the food supply and stockpiling weapons. We still don't know why the power went out, but we're hopeful that someone will come and light the way.

User Reviews

It is a let down.

The best reason to watch this was because of the story/plot and i think that the idea is great but then when you watch it the writing and acting is a complete let down there are a few good actor's in this but i think that the female lead is not good..actors make the story and for me if they are not good then it ruins the show. From what i have watched the writing is very predictable and the acting just makes the show seem flat these reasons make me and probably will make other people just drift off from watching this show after a couple of episodes. This is just from watching the first two episodes which for me the first couple should get you hooked on the show not you thinking that you cannot believe that who these actors are playing. If you want to watch this show go for it. This is just my opinion
