Great show

5.0 out of 5 stars New fix for disenfranchised Lost fans?

B.O. · April 6, 2013

Like so many, I was a *huge* Lost fan - until the last episode. The entire run played to our emotions and our intellectual fascination with mystery. The finale took advantage of our emotions, but disregarded our intellectual fascination. (But I digress. This isn't about Lost.) I swore off watching anything touched by Abrams or Lindelof ever again after that.But it's been a couple of years now, and I've been itching for my next fix. (I can't quit you, Abrams!) I think Revolution might be it. Of course several of the actors/actresses in Revolution come form the Lost cast, but the similarities run deeper and are more satisfying. The story unfolds through "current" (future) adventure, and flashbacks. (No flash-sideways yet!) The segues come complete with the subtle tension from the violin crescendo. Oh, I'm Lost in this show already. The story becomes deeper with every sidebar into a character's past. You can't help but fall in love with each one - even the bad guys. There's mystery and an ever-more-interesting and surprising unfolding of the plot. Only in this case, the new questions to new answers ratio seems to be on roughly even keel. I really get the sense that the writers know their way out of this one. Maybe Revolution won't be Lost to an unsatisfactory ending. :-)

I may be a picker of nits but, hey, Bolo asked what I thought.Revolutions is a fairly well written post-apocalyptic drama based on the mysterious end of all things electrical. Whatever happened flew in the face of physics and could not be undone by whoever had the intelligence to deal with such things. Among those who may or may not have had the ability to undo the damage is a man, his wife and two children, and the husband's brother. These five form the core of the "good guys" though the brother / uncle is ambiguous in his goodness / badness.The story starts 15 years after the power went out so we're spared the escape from the downfall of society for the most part. There are plenty of other series / films whose focus is exactly that; if you're looking for how things fall apart watch "The Walking Dead" or others of that ilk.We do get glimpses of the fall when the writers feel the need to explain the back story on some of the characters, particularly the bad guys and the ambiguous uncle. I rather like this treatment as it provides enough story but doesn't dwell on the seemingly necessary brutality. Again, if you're looking for that, see "The Walking Dead."The acting is okay if not particularly strong or compelling. I'm a little distracted by the all too tidy clothing, hair, and beards of the cast; you'd think the end of civilization as we know it would mean dirty clothing, uncut hair, and untrimmed beards but you'd be wrong. I'm not expecting "The Road" level of filth but, come on, everything run on electricity stops and everyone somehow keeps their clothing clean, their hair fashionable, and their beards (of which there are few) neatly trimmed? It's a small but glaring problem for me.I haven't finished the first season but probably will. Unless the story presents a more compelling reason to continue watching I doubt I'll continue to season 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evolution of Revolution (season 1)

W.M.K. · June 5, 2013

I started the journey because I liked the strong characters and the way they were pulled into the story plot. They had free will to leave the story line at many places and the choices they made determined their course of action; much like in real life. So, it didn't take much to suspend reality to get into the story. I liked that.Because of the character development, you knew why each character did or does what they do. Again, that's a plus.I saw some very good character portrayal and in the long run that held my interest throughout the long season.And finally, the last star came from the actual story line. It is a story of what could happen when a crazy group of scientists take it upon themselves to reset humankind back to a time that "seemed" to be better without modern "electricity" and how we utterly depend on it.(They would have done better to invent "nanites" that eat gunpowder and TNT.)Swords were bloody enough. There will always be Butchers in this world, for one reason or another. It's a never ending trait of humanity. But. without that evil to overcome, how do good guys get to prove they are really "good" with out-"butchering" the bad guys reluctantly?

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for next season

The story line is intriguing and not predictable. The characters are growing and becoming more cohesive yet their relationships remain precarious. Mrs. Matheson turning on her colleague and friend was extremely shocking and seemed out of character for her. I suppose it was realistic for the situation but thought it was too graphically portrayed. I was disappointed in her selfish blood-is-thicker-than-water action and felt she could've come up with a more intelligent solution. All the characters seem to be on the course to becoming just as bad Monroe. In the end I would like to see Monroe and his 2nd in command get some psychiatric treatment because it seems such a shame that he and Miles had such an extreme falling out. I love that Aaron is gaining more self-confidence. Perhaps he will be reuinited with his wife. I appreciate that there is very little foul language or sex. I love that every character's contribution is valued. I think the graphic violence is getting to be too often. I would not think this show would be suitable to show anyone of an impressionable age who is not able to discern that violence is not an appropriate or commendable to solve problems.

Un mélange explosif de suspense, de survie et de mystères

Zugegeben , anfangs war ich ein wenig skeptisch was die Serie betraf. Da ich Produzent Kripke bereits von Supernatural - meiner absoluten Lieblingsserie - kannte, hatte ich dementsprechend große Erwartungen an Revolution. Und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Jetzt habe ich zwei Lieblingsserien :)Revolution hat alles was eine gute Post- Apokalypse benötigt. Familie (hier haben Charlie und Danny mich anfangs an Sam und Dean erinnert, im positiven Sinne), Freundschaft (Miles und Bass Hassliebe), eine zerstörte Welt (das Setting ist super gemacht und meiner Meinung nach auch relativ realistisch) und wundervolle Charaktere, mit perfekt ausgesuchten Schauspielern. Hier man muss man Kripke loben, die Schauspieler in den Flashbacks (junge Charlie, Nora, Miles,...) passen sehr wie die Faust aufs Auge. Die Handlung ist fesselnd und durchweg interessant. Zuerst dachte ich die Staffel endet mit Dannys Befreiung, aber da das relativ schnell geschah, musste es natürlich weiter gehen. Auch hier enttäuscht Revolution nicht, denn der Spannungsbogen wird durchgehend aufrecht gehalten.Ich habe die Serie in Originalspache geschaut und kann es nur dringend weiter empfehlen. Miles sarkastisch Bemerkungen verlieren im Deutschen einiges, ebenso wie Bass und Charlie...Wie man merkt bin ich begeistert von der Serie. Verdammt schade, das sie eingestellt wurde. Trotz Ckiffhanger am Ende der letzten Staffel auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!

good product

Die Serie als solches ist solide produziert worden und erinnert in der Struktur an The Walking Dead.Die Geschichte ist durchaus spannend gemacht, auch wenn eine gewisse Linie ihren Weg durch die Geschichte nimmt.Hier ist Dome, Falling Skies oder The Walking Dead überzeugender.- Durchgehende Geschichte- Überzeugende Arbeit vor und hinter der Kamera- Gute Kampfszenen- Rückblenden- Suche, Flucht, Rückzug, Hinterhalt, neue Verbündete kommen, alte Verbundete gehen - auch endgültig -.auf beiden Seiten.- Sichtweisen aus mehreren Winkeln - mal aus der Sicht der Guten, dann aus Sicht der Bösen - die aber nicht immer böse sind, oder waren.- Überlebenschancen orientieren sich m. E. nach an der weiteren Verwendbarkeit der Charaktere innerhalb der Storyline.- Wo und wie die Haupt- und Nebencharaktere ihren Nachschub an Nahrungsmittel und anderen Gütern sichern, klärt sich ausserhalb der 42 Minuten jeFolge.

かけ足（2日間）で見た感想。

マ. · November 12, 2013

「エイリアス」と「フリンジ」が好きで、ＪＪの新作との事なので、とりあえず買ってみました。　※ちなみに「ロスト」は知人から結末がイマイチと　　言われたので見てません。内容については見る人によって違うと思いますが、過去の作品と同じく前半はやや退屈感があり、後半から劇的に面白くなるな、と私は感じてます。★★以下多少ネタバレあり★★大きく分けると前半は弟救出作戦で、後半は電力復活作戦になっていますが、全体的にはダラダラと間延びしないでサクサクと進むつくりには好感が持てました。ただ、途中で仲間になる黒人ですが、殆んど活躍しないでいきなり裏切るので、だったら最初からこの人（エピソード）いらなくない？と、ここだけは疑問に思いました。あと、人質を獲られると何でもしてしまう流れが多いのと、そこそこ重要な人物がアッサリ他界されるので、またかよ！と思う事が多いかもしれませんが、それをひっくるめても、物語の設定は面白いとは思います。全然関係ないですが、大好きな24にも出ていたキャストがやたら出ていたので、ちょっとニヤニヤしていました。ラストは一応の決着がつきますが、いつも通り次シーズンに繋がる終わり方なので、モヤモヤ感になりたくない方は、シーズン2が出てからまとめて見た方が良いかと。
