Well, this looks…awful.
I’d like just once to have TV do a post-apocalypse show right. Having everyone be beautiful, unblemished, healthy, well-groomed, and attired in bright, clean, factory-made clothes 15 years after the entire world blacked out calls for a bit more suspension of disbelief than I’m able to muster. Jericho could almost get away with it, given the establishing apocalypse happened about 20 minutes into the first episode – everyone started off healthy and well-fed, and there were still stockpiles of soap, shampoo, makeup, and new clothes left over.
And don’t get me started on how post-apocalypse bad guys are always stereotypical “military psychopaths” with an authoritarian bent and leather wardrobe that would make Ernst Roehm salivate.
