SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Complete SpoilerThe show has the ability to be Arrested Development Meets Apocalypse. Characters who are irredeemable such as a white supremacist becomes a good person. A pregnant nun. A rich grandma with a pet monkey who wants to steal her family's blood. An evil twin who hates germs. Great characters!However, there was a huge flaw with the writing that made the show not worth a second season and I'm glad it ended. This was the same issue with the finale of the Sopranos and How I Met Your Mother. The writers decided their readers were complete morons. It wasn't just the end where the evil twin showed up and replaced the good twin after sitting in a totaled car three miles down bleeding to death then at the last minute he magically appeared and knocked out the good twin. That's certainly a moment when the writers' point their middle fingers at the audience and call them all stupid. It's that they did the same thing with the character Rhonda's plot in every episode. I'd buy Jamie could part water before believing Rhonda would be hunted down by the police and treated the way she was. Her brother Scotty was the head of the crew saving the world and had a seat next to the President of the United States. I'm supposed to believe for a second some marshal has a score to settle by chasing and arresting the Savior of the world's sister while there's a comet headed for the planet? No cop is that dedicated to their job. All B/S. There's no way in any dimension Rhonda would have been chased down and then sentenced to hanging. Not in the 2000s. Then I'm supposed to believe a soldier would shoot Scotty and fight Arnold? Right. Any person with a speck of sense would think this was completely unrealistic. The writers didn't take into consideration their viewers had actual thought processes.One phone call from the President and Rhonda would have been freed from the start. Scotty was part of the team saving the world. No one would tell that person "no" anywhere. He'd have free ice cream for life and whatnot. Like HIMYM and the Sopranos, this show disrespects the audience by assuming they're stupid. The worst part is it's a good show minus this stuff with a lot of redeeming aspects. It was rightfully canceled though.

It's too good to stop and whoever wrote it is definitely smart enough to keep it going. Not many dramas can include so many genres done so well, make them interlink so well plus make each show an improvement on the preceding one. There's political, romantic, dramatic, humour, science fiction, religious, scenic, scientific, glamour, sociological and psychological and all done brilliantly. You just don't know what's coming next. Plus it's a tough call to pick who's the standout actor, most of the leads are equally brilliant. Just an excellent production. One last thing, as well as sophisticated and imaginative it's earthy, plus even incorrect, the racist, the soldier and the clergy are painted with sympathy. It's great.

It wasn't that bad. I enjoyed the different characters, and the journey to bring them all together. I loved Diana Rigg's character. She always seems good to me, even when she plays a bad person, and she did it well, with lots of double entendres to make you question her intentions.I believe there is room for a second series. For a start, there is a man-hole cover right next to Jamie in his final scene, which both he and Rajesh could enter to find their own way into the bunker. Second, leaving Ariel in charge and Jamie to die is such a bad ending that the program would forever have a bad rap if it were to truly finish this way.And who says the asteroid has to be as bad as expected? It could easily have broken up into many pieces during its decent, due to Savior's efforts to redirect it. This would mean that the world didn't really end, and there could be a continuing future for everyone, especially for 'Son of God' Jamie, who has yet to truly fulfill his role. A new world anyone?

Just finished watching the (apparently) last episode and WOW. Just wow. I feel embarrassed for watching all of it, like I've been taken in by a silly joke. Come on, w t actual f was that all about?? I put up with ridiculously poor accents, quirky (sic) acting, outrageous plot twists and turns and religious bullshizzle, all for an ending that is frankly urine-poor. I mean, why? Was it some sort of 'clever' thing designed to make people think? Or something to be obsessed over and talked about like those stupid numbers in 'lost'? All in all it's a flopping, flipping pile of fail and I resent the excitement I had each week waiting for the next episode. Worst of all, to add insult to injury - killing Rob Lowe! You guys should hang your heads in shame. The cast were great though, I don't want to make them feel bad. There are endless questions left pointlessly unanswered at the end but I am not obsessive enough, nor do i care enough now to ever think about this disappointing steamy heapy ever again. Boo. Hiss.
