The Divide (2014)
8/10
Heads and shoulders above average why can't networks recognize a good potential
9 August 2018
The Divide is intelligent, thoughtful, well written and acted and unlike many American programs, aims high, assuming the viewers can think.

The story line, or lines are well thought out and allow the cast to flesh out their roles and I found myself much more intrigued than I had expected to be. It reminded me of some of my long gone Canadian favorites like Da Vinci's inquest where plot lines ran for whole seasons. It's a shame that networks trash shows like this so early and seem to have no patience to let things grow. Everything has to be big and spectacular right off the bat instead of allowing things to grow throughout a few seasons; they could learn a lot from a good gardener.

As to the reviewers who disliked comments within the plot that they disagreed with; too bad, isn't that what makes a democracy?
