Big names, big producers but the pilot was a bit disappointing. I'd rate it a 6 with potential to become a 7 or 8, but equally the possibility of slipping into oblivion and eternal #fail status.
Though I had no problem switching the pilot off and walk away, something I normally never do, the show has boatloads of promise. It has everything for a good story. It has an endless amount of layers to play with. Future, green zone, red zone, divided nation, seemingly bad corporation, love, drama, futuristic gadgets.
Actors are a mixed bag of good and so so. The main problem is the lead actor (for me), not convincing enough.
Visuals are great. Some of the gadgets used we will surely have in the future. I hope they don't go overboard with it. The first mistake they made was the injection on the toilet that served as a 'bowel control device' the next day. That situation could have been handled differently and a bit more creative. I found it too easy, and the situation too predictable.
I'll keep watching and hope it becomes better as it continues. I hope gadgets won't be the answer to every problem and that the emphasis will be on the 'human' aspect.
You can surely see professionalism behind this (and a bag of money). It doesn't lack for creativity.
