Just finished BBC's Survivors
I just finished episode 6 of the 2008 version of BBC's show Survivors, and overall, I really liked it.
At first it didn't seem entirely realistic to how I would think survivors would behave. Everyone seemed to have gotten over the loss of their families and friends too quickly.
But aside from that, I thought it was really good, and it definitely got better as the episodes went along. I heard that BBC has commissioned another six episodes, but I'm not sure when they're going to be done. Hopefully sometime soon.
Now that I've seen this version, I'm really curious to see the original 1970's show. I think it's torrentable but there are 38 episodes so that would take a while. I think I'd be better off catching the DVDs when they come up on Ebay.
After reading about other BBC shows, I did some checking and it turns out the 6 episode mini-series of Day of the Triffids from 1981 is available on the Roku via Netflix. I'll probably start that tonight.
