Our entire way of life depends on electricity. So what would happen if it just stopped working? Well, one day, like a switch turned off, the world is suddenly thrust back into the dark ages. Planes fall from the sky, hospitals shut down, and communication is impossible. And without any modern technology, who can tell us why? Now, 15 years later, life is back to what it once was long before the industrial revolution: families living in quiet cul-de-sacs, and when the sun goes down lanterns and candles are lit. Life is slower and sweeter. Or is it? On the fringes of small farming communities, danger lurks. And a young woman's life is dramatically changed when a local militia arrives and kills her father, who mysteriously - and unbeknownst to her - had something to do with the blackout. This brutal encounter sets her and two unlikely companions off on a daring coming-of-age journey to find answers about the past in the hopes of reclaiming the future. .

Quite cheesy but with potential.
Giancarlo Esposito was great as usual. A little bit of Gus Fring ;)
The pilot was promising. Still can't get over the fact why cars etc broke down but who knows what they'll come up with (if it ever gets explained)
Just seen the pilot and I was pleasantly surprised to be honest. Sure the "physics" of it all is complete nonsense, even more so than with a lot of other sci-fi shows. But it made for an entertaining setting I think. Sadly, the acting wasn't too great in some cases, the female lead was especially bad. Also, the nerd guy who was there to bring some comic relief, failed miserably in that respect. But overall I thought it was quite enjoying, I'll be sure to check it out when it premieres officially.
One thing though, the trailer for this show was aweful. It basically showed the entire plot of the pilot. Because of that trailer the pilot held very few surprises for me.
