Survivors - Series 2

...anyone holding out hope for an improvement over the first series, which although OK, seemed to be generally a little flat (IMHO).

ps: Starts BBC1 Tue 9pm

Cool thanks for the heads up, thought it was further off than that.

But, so long as its only 6/7 episodes it will be a fail sadly

will still watch it though as I like the genre.

I enjoyed the first

I thought it started well but then fell away.

The problem with an idea like this is you really need at least 13 hours to get a good long arc story going or it will just feel rush and shallow like the first season, but hey at least it's still written well unlike the DIRE flashforward.

Looking forward to this, I watched the first series and although it showed promise I only really enjoyed a couple of episodes, here's hoping for an improvement.

I liked the first, so i'll watch this. But it brings back memories of Bonekickers

Max Beesley saved the first one. Quality actor imo.

Still don't understand the whole need for "the big bad corporation" in it... Is 5-6billion dead people, dwindling food/water, and outright anarchy not enough for the writers? Seemed to work quite well for Terry Nation!

nice one cant wait for this

Was good, but the stupid 1st season ended stupidly... and there was such a long wait between seasons..

NeilF · 9 Jan 2010 at 23:12

I hope they darken it down... Society has collapsed so the series should reflect this...

NeilF · 11 Jan 2010 at 20:54

I'm off to see "The Road" tomorrow night, but I'll be back into to catch the first episode of "Survivors"... I expect it'll seem like "Little House On The Prairie" after "The Road"...

Looking forward to this tonight too, enjoyed the first series.

So what did everyone think? Pretty good start to the series I thought. Nice to see a bit of Johnson's background too

Clarkey · 13 Jan 2010 at 02:25

What a slow episode, nearly a full hour of rescuing someone from a building :/

arknor · 13 Jan 2010 at 07:34

yea it was pretty rubbish and having sex for a trolley jack.....

could probably have got one from the boot of a car lol io doubt you could even lift rubble on one in real life without it just sliding off the jack

Agree with this point of view. In fact I found it dull to the extreme.

15mins in I groaned loudly and turned off... I'll watch the rest some other time.

So the hospital they decide to go to, doesn't catch fire an hour, day, week or month before or after they go there. And then it doesn't collapse, a minute, hour, day, week or month before or after they're in it...

Is that really the best they can come up with? So most of the worlds population are dead, dead bodies rotting all around them, basic services/supplies are non-existant or growing short, and the writers feel the need to introduce a vindictive building which throws itself onto them at just the right minute... Hmm...

ridiculous contrived nonsense...

Doesn't bode well! I'm expecting the same level of silly pap we just saw in the Day of the Triffids adaptation now...
