First thing I noticed (and something I've seen other reviewers mention) is the writing and dialog seem a little too formulaic and contrived. But if you stick it out through the first episode I guarantee it's worth it. I was afraid that this show was going to be a little too similar to Revolution or Lost, but it's definitely going to be able to hold its own. What sparked my interest in checking this show out was that it was created by Chris Carter who also did The X-Files--one of my all time favorite shows. If you're a fan of The X-Files, too, then you MUST watch The After. It may not seem to hold up just quite yet too it's sister show, but if Amazon airs an entire first season The After may wind up surprising us. Amazon would be foolish to not pick this show up for a full season.
