Show Summary

Revolution comes from the minds of J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke. It is an adventure thriller in which a family struggles to reunite in a post-apocalyptic American landscape. This is a world of empty cities, local militias and heroic freedom fighters, where every single piece of technology -- computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights -- has mysteriously blacked out.

  • Goodbye technology, hello bad Sci Fi - Stay, bad nanite, stay!

    2.0
    By ELMarcel, 2 days ago
    Addendum after the 15th episode: if nanites cancel eletricity and eletric fields, why the brains and neurons of everybody still works?

    Maybe only those of the producers/writer's don't.

    But this could be a mere detail - sacrificing the reality to obtain dramaticity - that could be overcome if the show had any good qualities.

    Only adds insult to injury.

    To paraphrase the great and late series "The Sarah Connor Chronicles" and the absolute classic "Alien":

    "In the future, no one will hear your cry for common sense and good writing.

    Without dinos, no dice. And i thought 'Terra Nova' was not good... Now it seems a masterpiece.

    Another good premisse that is wasted with cliches, bad acting, clumsy dialogue and implausible situations. Can it gets better, but I doubt it. And to think that these 'hungry' networks canceled tv shows such as ''The Event'', "Flash Forward'' and (even)'' Terra Nova'' ....

    Is it possible that we will only have good sci-fi on cable?

    New entry:

    Reassessing after the SIXTH episode: No country for the good old writing.

    Unbelievable bad writing and acting.

    Decreases another 1 point from my initial rating of 4moreless

  • It's bad enough to be renewed for a second season by this network...

    2.0
    By Emiterra, 3 days ago
    New insight: the producers, writers and actors were victims of bad nanobots.



    After the pilot, I was hoping that something might improve, but the opposite happens. The situations get even worse, less credible. The siege of the rebel nest, in the third episode for example, is beyond naive: it's lazy writing at all levels. The worst: the sniper on the roof not missing a shot, even in the dark. The fixed position would allow him only a couple of shots because in the third or fourht attempt he would be shot by, at least, one of the 30 gunmen waiting for the flash shooting of his riffle.

    A good general premise of sci fi remains butchered.

    Note: networks have canceled good or medians series of sci-fi, which probably ensure this nonsense a second season.moreless

  • The show is fantastic, and I want to clear up some of the stupid reviews on here.

    By ShawnThompson3, 3 days ago
    All you idiots writing bad reviews seem to have missed out on two things, the explanation of what the black out is, and later, how it happened!



    You say use solar panels, electricity doesn't work. Yeah you can set those solar panels out there all day but the nanobots covering the planet will absorb every bit of electricity they produce. People saying cars would still work, nope, you need spark plugs, they run on electricity. Without spark plugs the car won't go. If you knew the premise behind how a car works you would know this. I couldn't even begin to fix a car if you asked me to and I still know that. And batteries won't work either, gosh, have you even seen the show!? The nanobots absorb all electricity and they are everywhere.



    People complain about them using swords and bows and arrows and old muskets when they could use modern guns, they want to conserve their ammo, bullets are easy to make for old guns, jest melt some lead into balls and load them into the gun with a bit of black powder and you're in business. Newer ammunition is a lot harder to make without machines. It on;y makes sense to arm the soldiers with the weapons they have in the show and save the real fire power for when you need it, like an all out war with another "country"... like Georgia.



    The character development is getting better and better every episode. I like that this show doesn't just throw everything out there the first episode, it keeps you thinking and if you're not a total fool then that's the type of programming you will enjoy.



    Watch the show before you write stupid reviews. It's a great show and every aspect has been thoroughly thought out.



    The show is fantastic. I can't wait to see where it goes.



    And before you write a stupid review, please watch the show and actually think about what is said and done and shown in it. You really should have an understanding of something before you pass judgement on it.



    Thank you.moreless

  • I like it...

    But it is not the best sci-fi on tv right now. And it is good to see how it creates different opinions.

  • This show makes Andromeda look like a masterpiece.

    2.5
    By ericval376, May 13, 2013
    A ridiculously stupid premise, stupid characters (quite literally), completely implausible view of society, plot holes galore, and is so over the top unrealistic that I seriously have to question how stoned the writers were putting together the concept.

    We'll be honest: This schedule does not look very good at all.
