can't thank you enough for this mention. I just finished Season 1 of this (just 10 episodes), and it was brilliant. Wonderfully set and great characterizations. It also has Scott Glenn ('Stick' from the Daredevil series) in a major secondary role. Neato!
I thought it was totally gripping for the first 7 episodes, and then some strong leaps at that point sort of weakened things. But still a very coherent narrative.
It's based on the book by Tom Perrotta, which, in turn, was springboarding off the cultural zeitgeist of 'what would happen if there was a Rapture like event?" - a la 2012.
So yeah, it fed a nice itch to play out those scenarios.
