Revolution Review

The series' saving grace is probably its storyline and well constructed drama. The characters are not as strong as Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones but the story is fun, full of twists, moves quickly and has plenty of action even if it is relatively blood free. It’s difficult to take seriously though, sometimes veering into comedy farce, overacting and melodrama.

A far cry from originality, it seems that Revolution is a carefully crafted formula based on lots of familiar but successful sci-fi themes. But let’s hold judgement. There are more episodes to come. There must be more answers on that USB pendulum. I just hope we don’t have to wait five seasons for them to be revealed. And, more importantly, I hope the writers already know what they are.
